The problem of non-perturbative description of stationary flames with arbitrary gas expansion is considered. On the basis of the Thomson circulation theorem an implicit integral of the flow equations is constructed. With the help of this integral, a simple explicit expression for the vortex mode of the burnt gas flow near the flame front is obtained. Furthermore, a dispersion relation for the potential mode at the flame front is written down, thus reducing the initial system of bulk equations and jump conditions for the flow variables to a set of integro-differential equations for the flame front position and the flow velocity at the front. The developed approach is applied to the case of thin flames. Finally, an asymptotic expansion of the derived equations is carried out in the case \theta\to 1 where \theta is the gas expansion coefficient, and a single equation for the front position is obtained in the second post-Sivashinsky approximation. It is demonstrated, in particular, how the well-known problem of correct normalization of the front velocity is resolved in the new approach. It is verified also that in the first post-Sivashinsky approximation, the new equation reduces to the Sivashinsky-Clavin equation corrected according to Cambray and Joulin. Analytical solutions of the derived equations are found, and compared with the results of numerical simulations.
