Abstract

A perturbation method, the Lindstedt-Poincare method, is used to obtain the asymptotic expansions of the solutions of a nonlinear differential equation arising in general relativity. The asymptotic solutions contain no secular term, which overcomes a defect in Khuri’s paper. A technique of numerical order verification is applied to demonstrate that the asymptotic solutions are uniformly valid for small parameter.
