The continuous fraction expression of a partial-wave matrix element following from the distortion operator method developed before is proved to be an s-fraction expansion of the matrix element. The proof is more general, it applies to an arbitrary matrix element of T or K operator. One of our former

✦ Synopsis
A set of new objects is introduced into the theory, the nth term of which is called "the distortion operator of nth kind." The distortion operator of 0th kind is identical to the transition (or reaction) operator, the distortion operator of 1st kind is the previously introduced distortion operator. Equations for the new operators are deduced and shown to be nonsingular for all n > 1. The radius and speed of convergence of the Neumann series following from these equations increase with increasing n. The transition and reaction operators are expressed in terms of the distortion operator of the nth kind; in the first approximation of the second distortion approach, unitarity is satisfied (as well as in the first order of the first distortion approach). In the partialwave momentum representation, separable approximations of a given interaction are then obtained. Finally, the convergence when going from the first to the second distortion approach is tested and found to be very rapid.

The latter are taken to be either expectation values of components of multipole moments, or the relative weights of partial beams split up by a Stern-Gerl

A new finite volume method is presented for discretizing general linear or nonlinear elliptic second-order partial-differential equations with mixed boundary conditions. The advantage of this method is that arbitrary distorted meshes can be used without the numerical results being altered. The resul
