Hi PF!
Regarding matched asymptotic expansions, given an ODE BVP, I have learned a boundary layer can arise, where we need to stretch the independent variable through carefully selection i.e. if ##x## is the independent variable, perhaps ##\phi = (1-x)/\epsilon : \epsilon \ll 1##.
Would we ever see a situation where we would have to stretch the dependent variable, say the ODE was over ##y(x)##. Something perhaps like ##Y = y/\epsilon : \epsilon \ll 1##, as an example.
