Abstract
We apply the Lindstedt method to the one dimensional Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattice to find fully general solutions to the complete set of equations of motion. The pertubative scheme employed uses as the expansion parameter, where is the coefficient of the quartic coupling between nearest neighbors. We compare our non-secular perturbative solutions to numerical solutions and find striking agreement.
