Abstract
The Tamm-Dancoff equations are expressed in a concise four-dimensional form. The difficulty of renormalizing the new Tamm-Dancoff equation of Dyson is discussed. The Lévy-Klein approximation to the Bethe-Salpeter equation is derived as an approximation to the old Tamm-Dancoff equation, and a new renormalizable equation is derived analogously as an approximation to the new Tamm-Dancoff equation. The latter approximation is better than the former.
