Two exact lens equations have been recently shown to be equivalent to each other, being consistent with the gravitational deflection angle of light from a source to an observer, both of which can be within a finite distance from a lens object [Phys. Rev. D 102, 064060 (2020)]. We examine methods for iterative solutions of the gravitational lens equations in the strong deflection limit. It has been so far unclear whether a convergent series expansion can be provided by the gravitational lens approach based on the geometrical optics for obtaining approximate solutions in the strong deflection limit in terms of a small offset angle. By using the ratio of the lens mass to the lens distance, we discuss a slightly different method for iterative solutions and the behavior of the convergence. Finite distance effects begin at the third order in the iterative method. The iterative solutions in the strong deflection limit are estimated for Sgr $A^{*}$ and M87. These results suggest that only the linear order solution can be relevant with current observations, while the finite distance effects at the third order may be negligible in the Schwarzschild lens model for these astronomical objects.
Continuing work initiated in an earlier publication [Ishihara, Suzuki, Ono, Kitamura, Asada, Phys. Rev. D {bf 94}, 084015 (2016) ], we discuss a method of calculating the bending angle of light in a static, spherically symmetric and asymptotically fl
A perturbative method to compute the deflection angle of both timelike and null rays in arbitrary static and spherically symmetric spacetimes in the strong field limit is proposed. The result takes a quasi-series form of $(1-b_c/b)$ where $b$ is the
In this paper we apply the strong deflection limit approach to investigate the gravitational lensing phenomena beyond general relativity. This is accomplished by considering the lensing effects related to black hole solutions that emerge out of the d
The gravitational field of supermassive black holes is able to strongly bend light rays emitted by nearby sources. When the deflection angle exceeds $pi$, gravitational lensing can be analytically approximated by the so-called strong deflection limit
We discuss, without assuming asymptotic flatness, a gravitational lens for an observer and source that are within a finite distance from a lens object. The proposed lens equation is consistent with the deflection angle of light that is defined for no
