5, Perturbation theory It is straightforward to do ordinary p e t t m b a t i o n theory on the pair of differential equations (2.8a, b) with the strength of the poter~tial U(r) as expansion parameter. We shall carry this scheme ordy to first order. The unperturbed flow gives as the zeroth-order solution 4)o(r) = 1 and ;%0) = 0. Hence the first-order perturbation ,.b~(r) satisfies r"~'~,.~'', + 4rcy~ - r 2 U (r) + raZ"~. = O.

in principle the above perturbation theory can be carried systematically to any tesired order. ~n practice one is particularly interested in tb~ effects for strong 1.ote~fial, and in this case a different type of perturbation e:' i?ansion is required. In setting up such a perturbation procedure we are guided b'~, the results obtained for the unitbrm sphere.
