Analytic solutions of the Regge-Wheeler equation are presented in the form ofseries of hypergeometric functions and Coulomb wave functions which havedifferent regions of convergence. Relations between these solutions areestablished. The series solutions are given as the Post-Minkowskian expansionwith respect to a parameter $\epsilon \equiv 2M\omega$, $M$ being the mass ofblack hole. This expansion corresponds to the post-Newtonian expansion whenthey are applied to the gravitational radiation from a particle in circularorbit around a black hole. These solutions can also be useful for numericalcomputations.Comment: 22 page
