Abstract: Perturbation techniques are a very useful tool also in the theory of lubrication. Two typical situations are rigorously discussed in this paper: the bifurcation for the “shoe-bearing” and the asymptotic analysis for a finite gas slider bearing of narrow geometry. Furthermore the mathematical basis of a new application of the Reynolds equation is briefly treated.
