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 f...

The Lindstedt-Poincare technique in perturbation theory can be turned into a quadratically convergent algorithm for computing periodic orbits of differential equations. Most of the computational work is done in solving linear systems of the form ż(τ) =A(τ)z+g(τ), A(τ)2Rd;d , z2Rd , g(τ)2Rd , where A(τ) and g(τ) are 2π periodic. The method given here for solving such linear systems, while not th...

Sevugarajan and Menon [4-6] have studied the nonlinear Paul ion trap. They have applied the Lindstedt-Poincare technique, the modified Lindstedt-Poincare technique and the multiple scales perturbation technique for solving the nonlinear equation of ion motion in nonlinear ion trap. Also, in two previous studies [7,8] done on nonlinear ion traps by one of the present authors, the homotopy pertur...

In this paper, homotopy perturbation and modified Lindstedt-Poincare methods are employed for nonlinear free vibrational analysis of simply supported and double-clamped beams subjected to axial loads. Mid-plane stretching effect has also been accounted in the model. Galerkin's decomposition technique is implemented to convert the dimensionless equation of the motion to nonlinear ordinary differ...
