Abstract
It is shown by means of some examples from the theories of linear algebraic equations, linear integral equations and nonlinear differential equations that the effectiveness of the method of expanding a solution in a power series in terms of a parameter may in many cases be greatly increased by expanding in terms of a suitably chosen function of the parameter. This is particularly the case when the physical setting of the problem allows only positive values of the parameter to enter.Keywords
