Analyzing Multiscale Phenomena Using Singular Perturbation Methods

Download or read book Analyzing Multiscale Phenomena Using Singular Perturbation Methods written by Jane Cronin and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1999 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
