We consider the spin van der Waals model in a weak magnetic field. For this model we obtain the relaxation function by applying the perturbative method that was developed for the evaluation of the relaxation function represented as an infinite continued fraction. To show the applicability of the perturbative method, we make comparisons between an exact result and various degrees of approximation.

Use of the infinite continued-fraction representation has played an important role in the evaluation of the relaxation function of many-body systems. By using the method of recurrence relations, we propose here a dynamical perturbation theory for the evaluation of the infinite continued fraction. The analytic expression of the relaxation function is given in terms of the known relaxation function for the unperturbed system. Two illustrative examples are also given.

We explain the motion of a micron-sized ferromagnetic disc immersed in a nematic liquid crystal under the action of a weak magnetic field using numerical simulations. We show that the disc's behaviour can be controlled by the angular speed of the magnetic field and its magnitude.
