Abstract
An investigation is made to determine those properties demanded of the Regge-pole formulas used by Chew and Jones in order to ensure the consistency of the strip approximation. A study of the asymptotic behavior of the Regge parameters based on the dynamical equations is also made in relation to the same question. The conclusion is drawn that the dynamical equations appear capable of producing solutions that are essentially self-consistent with the strip approximation that was used as an input. The Chew-Jones Regge-pole formula is also compared with one suggested earlier by Khuri.
