Abstract:
The dual approach to the Pomeron is discussed. It is argued that
it can be realized on the basis of a dual analytic model and the
method of continued unitarity. It is established that the behavior
of the dual analytic model in the region between the elastic and
inelastic cuts is determined by a Regge singularity with
$\alpha(0)>1$. Its contribution, taken into account in the
continued unitarity condition, leads to Froissart saturation of
hadronic processes.
