About this Item

To understand multiscale phenomena, it is essential to employ asymptotic methods to construct approximate solutions and to design effective computational algorithms. This volume consists of articles based on the AMS Short Course in Singular Perturbations held at the annual Joint Mathematics Meetings in Baltimore (MD). Leading experts discussed the following topics which they expand upon in the book: boundary layer theory, matched expansions, multiple scales, geometric theory, computational techniques, and applications in physiology and dynamic metastability. Readers will find that this text offers an up-to-date survey of this important field with numerous references to the current literature, both pure and applied.

About this title

Synopsis

Insights into single perturbation phenomena have century-old roots in PoincarT's work in celestial mechanics. In these lecture notes prepared for the AMS short course offered in January 1998 in Baltimore, MD, the authors of a half dozen papers introduce the issues, mathematics, and implicit philosophy of single perturbations arising from diverse applications. Coverage includes: figuring out single perturbations after a first course in ODEs, the method of multiple scales, dynamical systems theory, and analysis of cellular oscillations. Annotation c.
