Perturbation Methods

MATH-6620

This course is devoted to advanced methods rather than theory. Content includes such topics as matched asymptotic expansions, multiple scales, WKB, and homogenization. Applications are made to ODEs, PDEs, difference equations, and integral equations. The methods are illustrated using currently interesting scientific and engineering problems that involve such phenomena as boundary or shock layers, nonlinear wave propagation, bifurcation and stability, and resonance.
