Abstract: (Elsevier)
We study the solutions of the coupled S- and P-wave Roy equations for low-energy pion-pion scattering which are in the neighbourhood of a given solution. We give a general method for constructing these solutions for fixed inelasticities and driving terms and variable S-wave scattering lengths. In the case of the neighbourhood of the physical amplitudes, our procedure leads to a seven-dimensional manifold of solutions. If we omit variations affecting only the I = 0 S-wave around the K K threshold, the number of dimensions is reduced to five, in accordance with the results of the phenomenological analysis of low-energy pion-pion scattering. Our solutions allow a study of the correlations between S- and P-waves implied by the Roy equations. This work completes a previous one dealing with the single-channel problem of the I = 1 P-wave.
