Note on the parametrized black hole quasinormal ringdown formalism

The parametrized black hole quasinormal ringdown formalism is useful to compute quasinormal mode (QNM) frequencies if a master equation for the gravitational perturbation around a black hole has a small deviation from the Regge-Wheeler or Zerilli equation. In this formalism, the deviation of QNM frequency from general relativity can be calculated by small deviation parameters and model independent coefficients. In this paper, we derive recursion relations for the model independent coefficients. Using these relations, the higher order coefficients are written only by the lower order coefficients. Thus, we only need the lower order coefficients when we numerically compute the model independent coefficients.Comment: 10 pages, v2: minor revisions, v3: title changed, accepted for publication in Phys.
