Abstract
Teukolsky’s radial equation governing the general, non-axisymmetric, gravitational perturbations of the Kerr black hole is reduced to the form of a one-dimensional wave equation by making use of the transformation which enables the treatment of the non-axisymmetric modes in exactly the same way as the axisymmetric modes.
