V. G. Hlopin Radium Institute, Leningrad, USSR Received 25 September 1971 The nucleon-nucleon T-matrix off energy shell is factorized with respect to momentum variables for potentials with a hard core. The expressions derived give a practical possibility of solving numerically the three-nucleon Faddeev equations.
