4. One example.

Consider the equation form the last part

 

We expand y(x) in a perturbation series

 

Insertion in the equation yields

 

Insertion in the inital condition yields

 

Now let

 

Then

that is

If we subtract 1 on both sides and divide the rest with  we get


On more time, we let

Then

and if we repeat the procedure we realize that also

We determine y0, y1, y2,…. subsequently by solving the equations that we get by comparing terms containing the same power of  :

  
  
  

An approximate solution is thus
