For the three‐particle, two‐cluster, 2×2 channel coupling Hamiltonians used, e.g., in H+2 and He bound‐state calculations, we demonstrate that typically there exist unique eigenvectors for all bound states. This result also holds, with some technical assumptions on the potentials, for the corresponding 3×3 case provided there are no spurious eigenvectors with bound‐state eigenvalues. The proofs use the analogous results for the corresponding Faddeev‐type Hamiltonians together with spurious multiplier relationships.
