Abstracts
It is proved that a two-body reaction amplitude involving scalar particles and satisfying Mandelstam's representation is bounded by expressions of the form Csln²s at the forward and backward angles, and C^3/4 ln ^3/2s at any other fixed angle in the physical region, C being a constant, s being the total squared c.m. energy. This corresponds to cross sections increasing at most like ln²s. These restrictions limit the freedom of choice of the subtraction terms to six arbitrary single spectral functions and one subtraction constant.
