The Intercept of Symmetric Multigluon Configurations in the Variational Approach

Abstract

To calculate the intercept of the multigluon system in a symmetric spatial configuration a variational method is developed based on a complete system of one-gluon functions. The method is applied to two- and three- gluon cases to compare with the known results. The convergence turns out rather slow. Ways to improve results are discussed.
