Abstract: (Springer)
In the background of Møller's theory, two energy-momentum complexest andP, are defined. From them, the losses of energy and angular momentum of a nongravitationally bound system due to the radiation of gravitational waves are evaluated. To solve the field equations some approximation procedures are used. The post-Newtonian limit is studied. When the modulus of the coupling constant of the theory is smaller than 103 and some reasonable conditions are assumed, the results here obtained appear to be identical to those of general relativity. The work performed here would be basic when dealing with some important questions in generalizing Møller's theory.
