Abstract

I discuss a systematic method of analytically calculating the asymptotic form of quasi-normal frequencies. In the case of a four-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole, I expand around the zeroth-order approximation to the wave equation proposed by Motl and Neitzke. In the case of a five-dimensional AdS black hole, I discuss a perturbative solution of the Heun equation. The analytical results are in agreement with the results from numerical analysis.
