Description
Summary:A method is presented for studying asymptotically flat spaces possessing both incoming and outgoing gravitational radiation at infinity. The method uses multipole expansions and the invariance of general relativity under time reversal; calculations are facilitated by a small‐parameter perturbation approach. Some calculations are carried out to second order to show the practicability of the method.
