         and then from (5.130) we obtain




          with

         This set is very easily solved to give the asymptotic solution




          and it is immediately evident that this expansion breaks down when  let  us
          write      and           to produce the new equation




         Again, we seek a straightforward solution






          so that (5.132) gives




          and so on, together with the requirement to match to  (5.131).
            The general solution to equation (5.133a) is





          where A is an arbitrary constant; with   we obtain




          and hence matching to  the first term in  (5.131)  requires the  choice A=1. Thus we
          have




          the next term can be found similarly and leads to
