The scaling function is obtained from a renormalizable three-body model with a pairwise Dirac-delta interaction. It was also discussed the threshold condition for the appearance of the trimer virtual state.9 pages, 3 figuresAtomic PhysicsCondensed MatterAtomic and Molecular ClustersScaling limit of virtual states of triatomic systemstext
