256 5. Some worked examples arising from physical problems
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
