A Toolbox of Averaging Theorems: Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations

by Ferdinand Verhulst

This primer on averaging theorems provides a practical toolbox for applied mathematicians, physicists, and engineers seeking to apply the well-known mathematical theory to real-world problems. With a focus on practical applications, the book introduces new approaches to dissipative and Hamiltonian resonances and approximations on timescales longer than 1/ε.
Accessible and clearly written, the book includes numerous examples ranging from elementary to complex, making it an excellent basic reference for anyone interested in the subject. The prerequisites have been kept to a minimum, requiring only a working knowledge of calculus and ordinary and partial differential equations (ODEs and PDEs).
In addition to serving as a valuable reference for practitioners, the book could also be used as a reading guide for a mathematics seminar on averaging methods. Whether you're an engineer, scientist, or mathematician, this book offers a wealth of practicaltools and theoretical insights to help you tackle a range of mathematical problems.

About the author

Ferdinand Verhulst is retired professor of Mathematics at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands.

He is also the founder of the publisher Epsilon Uitgaven, in 1985. This publisher aims to publish scientific books in Dutch, with a special eye to Mathematics, both because it is easier to learn in your own language, and also to promote mathematics among non-mathematicians. In Dutch (as published on the website) "Epsilon Uitgaven beoogt het tot stand brengen en verspreiden van wetenschappelijke boeken in de Nederlandse taal met de nadruk op wiskunde."
