Resources and guides about Perturbation theory

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on resources and guides for learning Perturbation Theory, specifically for individuals familiar with the Poincare method. The user seeks advanced materials that also cover foundational concepts. Recommendations include the document "Perturbation Theory of Dynamical Systems," which offers a useful introductory chapter but may present challenges in later sections due to its mathematical complexity. The focus is on transforming singular problems into regular problems and exploring advanced techniques like the two-scale method.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Poincare method in Perturbation Theory
  • Familiarity with basic dynamical systems
  • Knowledge of mathematical analysis and differential equations
  • Experience with advanced mathematical techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Perturbation Theory of Dynamical Systems" for foundational and advanced insights
  • Study methods for transforming singular problems into regular problems
  • Explore the two-scale method in detail
  • Investigate additional textbooks on advanced Perturbation Theory
USEFUL FOR

Students, researchers, and hobbyists in physics and mathematics looking to deepen their understanding of Perturbation Theory and its applications in dynamical systems.

Hello,

I have to learn about the classic Perturbation Theory.
I'm looking for guides, textbooks etc about Perturbation Theory. I already know the basis (Poincare method), but I found it hard to find resources for more advanced material on the one hand, that will also teach it from basis on the other. I'm trying to focus now on methods to transform of singular problems to regular problems, and more advanced methods (like the two scale method).

I'll really appreciate any help and so. I'm pretty stuck now...

Thanks a lot!
Gal

You might have a look at "Perturbation theory of dynamical systems" http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0111178

The first introductory chapter is quite nice, but the other chapters are very mathematical and very frightening :eek: (at least for a hobby-physicist like me, maybe for you they are useful).
 
Great, I'll have a look at this now.

Thanks!:smile:
