Post-Newtonian approximation for isolated systems calculated by matched asymptotic expansions
Post-Newtonian approximation for isolated systems calculated by matched asymptotic expansions
Two long-standing problems with the post-Newtonian approximation for isolated slowly moving systems in general relativity are (i) the appearance at high post-Newtonian orders of divergent Poisson integrals, casting doubt on the soundness of the post-Newtonian series, and (ii) the domain of validity of the approximation which is limited to the …
