The idea is to start with a simple system for which a mathematical solution is known, and add an additional \"perturbing\" Hamiltonian representing a weak disturbance to the system. If the disturbance is not too large, the various physical quantities associated with the perturbed system (e.g. its energy levels and eigenstates) can be expressed as \"corrections\" to those of the simple system. These corrections, being small compared to the size of the quantities themselves, can be calculated using approximate methods such as asymptotic series. The complicated system can therefore be studied based on knowledge of the simpler one.Perturbation theory is applicable if the problem at hand cannot be solved exactly, but can be formulated by adding a \"small\" term to the mathematical description of the exactly solvable problem."@en }
