Abstract
An analytical solution for light propagation in the post-post-Newtonian approximation is given for the Schwarzschild metric in harmonic gauge augmented by PPN and post-linear parameters , and . The solutions of both Cauchy and boundary problem are given. The Cauchy problem is posed using the initial position of the photon and its propagation direction \ve{\sigma} at minus infinity: . An analytical expression for the total light deflection is given. The solutions for and are given in terms of boundary conditions and .
