Abstract:
The method of integral manifolds is used to study the multidimensional systems of differential equations. This approach allows to solve an important problem of order reduction of differential systems. If a slow invariant manifold cannot be described explicitly then its parametrization is used for the system order reduction. In this case, either a part of the fast variables, or all fast variables, supplemented by a certain number of slow variables, can play a role of the parameters.
Keywords:singular perturbations, integral manifold, order reduction, asymptotic expansion, parametrization, differential equations, fast variables, slow variables.
