Abstract
Simple formulas for the → double beta decay matrix elements, as a function of the particle-particle strength , have been designed within the quasiparticle random phase approximation. The 2ν amplitude is a bilinear function of , and all 0ν moments behave as ratios of a linear function and the square root of another linear function of . It is suggested that these results are of general validity and that any modifications of the nuclear Hamiltonian or the configuration space cannot lead to a different functional dependence.
