Averaging Methods in Nonlinear Dynamical Systems

Zusatztext

This second edition offers a wide-ranging update and revision of the previous edition. The updated chapters represent new insights in averaging, in particular its relation with dynamical systems and the theory of normal forms. Also new are survey appendices on invariant manifolds. Since the first edition, the book has expanded in length and a third author, James Murdock has been added. One of the most striking features of the book is the collection of examples, which range from the very simple to some that are elaborate, realistic, and of considerable practical importance. Most of them are presented in careful detail and are illustrated with profuse, illuminating diagrams.
