On the modeling of Intermediate- and Extreme-Mass-Ratio Inspirals

A new Method: The Chimera Scheme
Radiative Self-From from post-Minkowskian
approximation + Asymptotic matched expansions
[Blanchet & Damour (1984); Iyer & Will (1995);
Blanchet (1997)]
Using the half retarded minus half advanced
solution, the matching of the solutions provides an
expression for a dissipative (radiative) self-force.
