Abstract

We discuss the effect of infrared soft gluons on the asymptotic behaviour of the total cross-section. We use a singular but integrable expression for the strong coupling constant in the infrared limit and relate its behaviour to the satisfying of the condition of the Froissart bound, giving a specific phenomenological example.
