Hey folks I'm looking into halo orbits and I have a question about how to find the initial conditions from the third order approximation solution...
A good run through of the third order solution calculation is found in this paper.

The Lindstedt-Poincare part begins on page 15.
My questions are...
The final approximation includes the \tau_1, A_x and A_z terms. These all contain the small parameter \epsilon which hasn't been given a numerical value so how do I compute \tau_1, A_x and A_z?
