Abstract
The gap equation for the electron self-energyfunction is considered in the framework of (2 +1)-dimensional quantum electrodynamics. The fillingfactor upsilon for the quantum Hall effect is related to a free parameter λ by considering thedevelopment of the gap equation. The latter is shown tobe expandable in the power series ofm2/p2, with p being the modulus ofthe momentum of a single Hall electron and m its physical mass.
