Abstract
We apply linear perturbation theory to the study of the universality and criticality first observed by Choptuik in gravitational collapse. Since these are essentially nonlinear phenomena our attempt is only a rough approximation. In spite of this, universal behavior of the final black hole mass is observed with an exponent of 1/2, slightly higher than the observed value of 0.367. The universal behavior is rooted in the universal form that in-falling perturbations on black holes have at the horizon.
