Abstract
A perturbation method given in a previous paper of this series is applied to two physical examples, the electron plasma wave and a nonlinear Klein‐Gordon equation. In these systems, and probably in most physical systems, an assumed condition for a mode of l = 0 is not valid. Consequently, the direct application of the method is impossible. In the present paper, we shall illustrate by these examples how this difficulty can be overcome to allow us to use the method. As a result we shall find that, in either case, the original equation can be reduced to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.
