First sentence: For present purposes, by perturbative methods we shall mean those methods of approximation, particularly those used in dealing with non-linear dynamical problems, which are based on an expansion in powers of a "small" parameter, starting from the "known" solution of a problem which results in a simplification of the problem under consideration.
