A formalism intended to evaluate the expectation value of physical quantities directly is applied to processes involving multiple production of photons in quantum electrodynamics. This application is achieved by constructing the Green's function, which is accomplished by expanding it in terms of hard and soft photon parts of the electromagnetic field. A general treatment of infrared divergence is given. The cross section for n-photon production in Coulomb scattering and pair annihilation is evaluated. The limitation of the expansion of the Green's function in terms of hard and soft photon parts is examined. A plausible generalization regarding the cross section of any primary process in quantum electrodynamics at high energies with n-photon emission in the final state is enunclated, (auth)
