It gives many examples and step-by-step techniques, which will help beginners move to a more advanced level. Singularly perturbed systems appear naturally in the modelling of many processes that are characterized by slow and fast motions simultaneously, for example, in fluid dynamics and nonlinear mechanics. This book’s approach consists in separating out the slow motions of the system under investigation. The result is a reduced differential system of lesser order. However, it inherits the essential elements of the qualitative behaviour of the original system. Singular Perturbations differs from other literature on the subject due to its methods and wide range of applications. It is a valuable reference for specialists in the areas of applied mathematics, engineering, physics, biology, as well as advanced undergraduates for the earlier parts of the book, and graduate students for the later chaptersDifferentiable dynamical systemsDifferential equationsEngineering mathematicsEngineeringSobolev, Vladimirauthorhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut721500Mortell, Michael P.Printed edition:9783319095691http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-09570-7An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web.b1425885703-03-2221-07-16991002949409707536Singular perturbations1465277UNISALENTOle01321-07-16m@ -engsz 00
