Publication Abstract: We present numerical results showing how our recently proposed relativistic three-particle quan- tization condition can be used in practice. Using the isotropic (generalized s-wave) approximation, and keeping only the leading terms in the effective range expansion, we show how the quantization condition can be solved numerically in a straightforward manner. In addition, we show how the inte- gral equations that relate the intermediate three-particle infinite-volume scattering quantity, Kdf,3, to the physical scattering amplitude can be solved at and below threshold. We test our methods by reproducing known analytic results for the 1/L expansion of the threshold state, the volume de- pendence of three-particle bound-state energies, and the Bethe-Salpeter amplitudes for these bound states. We also find that certain values of Kdf,3 lead to unphysical finite-volume energies, and give a preliminary analysis of these artifacts.
