Abstract

The formal method of matched expansions is applied to two further examples. The first concerns the magnetic field induced by a steady current in a thin toroidal wire. The second, which involves a non-linear ordinary differential equation of the fourth order, has been chosen to resemble the problem of flow past a circular cylinder at small Reynolds numbers. The results of the formal procedure are proved in each case to be expansions of the exact solution.
