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...

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...

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...

tension-leg platform (tlp) is a vertically moored floating structure. the platform is permanently mooredby tendons. surge equation of motion of tlp is highly nonlinear because of large displacement and it should be solved with perturbation parameter in time domain. this paper compare the dynamic motion responses of a tlp in regular sea waves obtained by applying three method in time domain usin...

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...
