Arnol’d’s analytic perturbation for the polar equation

Samuel Dillon

Abstract

Based on the paper of Arnol’d [1] on the problems of Mathieu type,
we suggest a modified Feynmann diagram technique to assist in solving
problems of the form Aεy = (I + εV )−1A0y = λy. We then use this
method to calculate eigenvalues and eigenfunctions to the polar problem,
−
d2y
dx2 = λ(1 + ε cos x)y,
with the quasiperiodic boundary condition on [0, 2π].
