The non-relativistic theory of stellar structure investigates the linearized equation for small perturbations near spherically symmetric equilibria of a self-gravitating gas sphere. These results are extended and carried to the corresponding problem in general relativity. The investigation starts with the so-called Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation describing spherically symmetric equilibrium configurations in general relativity.
