Scientific paper

A new approach to the problem of motion in General Relativity, based upon the systematic approximation procedure of Synge, is presented. The equations of transnational motion for a system of spherical bodies moving under their mutual gravitational attractions are derived. Approximations are based upon the weakness of the field and on the distance between any two of the bodies being considered large by comparision with their radii. The most general stress distribution consistent with maintaining the symmetry of the bodies throughout the motion is chosen. The use of controlled errors enables us to derive equations of motion applicable to a wider class of physical systems than the original equations of Einstein, Infeld and Hoffmann and Fock-Papapetrou.
