What is the current status of the convergence of the post-Newtonian approximation? In the very well written article by C. Will, On the Unreasonable Effectiveness of the post-Newtonian Approximation in Gravitational Physics, he states:

The one question that remains open is the nature of the post-Newtonian sequence; we still do not know if it converges, diverges or is asymptotic. Despite this, it has proven to be remarkably effective.

What is the current status of the convergence of the post-Newtonian sequence? Are there indications that it is possibly asymptotic?
 A: The question about PN sequence is raiser mathematical one, nor physical or philosophical. It has a good answer in the paper "Newtonian and post-Newtonian approximations are asymptotic to general relativity" by T. Futamase and Bernard,  F. Schutz, Phys. Rev. D 28, 2363 – Published 15 November 1983. The Abstract to this paper is clearly stated that the PN approximations "are genuine asymptotic approximations to general relativity". Also this question discussed in many papers such as
