Abstract:
Geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students,
this exposition covers the method of normal forms and its application to
ordinary differential equations through perturbation analysis. In
addition to its emphasis on the freedom inherent in the normal form
expansion, the text features numerous examples of equations, the kind of
which are encountered in many areas of science and engineering. The
treatment begins with an introduction to the basic concepts underlying
the normal forms. Coverage then shifts to an investigation of systems
with one degree of freedom that model oscillations, in which the force
has a dominant linear term and a small nonlinear one. The text considers
a variety of nonautonomous systems that arise during the study of
forced oscillatory motion. Topics include boundary value problems,
connections to the method of the center manifold, linear and nonlinear
Mathieu equations, pendula, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, coupled
oscillator systems, and other subjects. 1998 edition.
