Description

The variational method, within the Hamiltonian formalism of quantum field theory, is used to derive momentum space wave equations for any number of fermions interacting via a massive scalar field. These coupled equations are shown to be exactly solvable in the limit of fixed fermions. Approximate solutions are given in the two- and three-particle bound state case for various mass combinations and various strengths of the coupling of the fermion and scalar fields
