Résumé :

It is shown that in all cases where the finite duration of the collision may be neglected, there is a complete equivalence between the 3-particle scattering operator obtained by Prigogine and his co-workers and the corresponding expression derived by Choh and Uhlenbeck using Bogolubov's method. Great emphasis is put on the "irreducible character" of the three-body collision: Only situations in which the three particles are simultaneously interacting play a role in both theories.
