Abstract
The Eulerian and Lagrangian second-order perturbation theories are solved explicitly in closed forms in and {}Friedmann-Lema\^{\i}tre models. I explicitly write the second-order theories in terms of closed one-dimensional integrals. In cosmologically interested cases ( or ), they reduce to elementary functions or hypergeometric functions. For arbitrary and , I present accurate fitting formula which are sufficient in practice for the observational cosmology. It is reconfirmed for generic and of interest that second-order effect only weakly depends on these parameters.
