Using (5.179) with F (η)
=
1, for small r 0 we find that

η( r 0 )
=−
ρ(0) r 0

(5.197)
Performing the integration in expression (5.188) and expanding the exponential for
small exponent, we obtain

Recalculating F (η) from (5.180), we now find that
10 ρ (0)

F (η)

ρ(0) mr 0
+··· .
(5.199)
Thus, η( r 0 ) is linear in r 0 for small r 0 but has a coe
ers fractionally
from that given in (5.197), by a term of order m . The integrand in the exponent of
(5.188) is then obviously proper.
From relation (5.195), the homogeneous form of theκ equation (5.192) for small
r 0 becomes

This equation has the two complementary functions r 0 and 1/ r 0 with Wronskian

ρ(0)
By the usual formula for linear di

erential equations (Kreyszig, 1967, pp. 147-

Thus, we may write the full solution for κ, regular at the geocentre, as the sum of
the regular complementary function and the particular integral,

The numerical solution of theκ equation (5.192) follows the Runge-Kutta meth-
ods outlined in Section 3.6. The κ equation is first converted to a pair of first-order,
