Abstract: We establish necessary conditions for the applicability of Poincaré—Lighthill (or coordinate stretching) perturbation theory to ordinary differential equations. The criteria are simple consequences of a unique modification of the classical theory of coordinate stretching. The usefulness of the new approach and the role of the criteria of applicability are illustrated by means of simple examples.
