Abstract

A new perturbation-like technique called linearization and correction method is proposed. Contrary to the traditional perturbation techniques, the present theory does not assume that the solution is expressed in the form of a power series of small parameter. To obtain an asymptotic solution of nonlinear system, the technique first searched for a solution for the linearized system, then a correction was added to the linearized solution. So the obtained results are uniformly valid for both weakly and strongly nonlinear equations.
