Abstract

The Efroimsky perturbation scheme for consistent treatment of gravitational waves and their influence on the background is summarized and compared with classical Isaacson's high-frequency approach. We demonstrate that the Efroimsky method in its present form is not compatible with the Isaacson limit of high-frequency gravitational waves, and we propose its natural generalization to resolve this drawback.
