The double-dispersion representation is applied to the problem of pion-pion scattering, and it is shown that, if inelastic effects are important only at very high energies and S-wave scattering dominates at low energy, a set of integral equations for the low-energy amplitudes can be derived. The solution of these equations depends on only one arbitrary real parameter, which may be defined as the pion-pion coupling constant. The order of magnitude of the new constant is established, and a procedure for solving the integral equations by iteration is outlined. If P-wave scattering is large the equations become singular and must be modified. Such a modification can be performed, at the expense of introducing an extra parameter, but is not considered here.
