Projector Approach to Constructing Asymptotic Solution of Initial Value Problems for Singularly Perturbed Systems in Critical Case

Abstract Under some conditions, an asymptotic solution containing boundary functions was constructed in a paper by Vasil’eva and Butuzov (Differ. Uravn. 1970, 6(4), 650–664 (in Russian); English transl.: Differential Equations 1971, 6, 499–510) for an initial value problem for weakly non-linear differential equations with a small parameter standing before the derivative, in the case of a singular matrix A ( t ) standing in front of the unknown function. In the present paper, the orthogonal projectors onto k e r A ( t ) and k e r A ( t ) ′ (the prime denotes the transposition) are used for asymptotics construction. This approach essentially simplifies understanding of the algorithm of asymptotics construction. View Full-Tex
