Solution of reduced equations derived with singular perturbation methods.
For singular perturbation problems in dynamical systems, various appropriate singular perturbation methods have been proposed to eliminate secular terms appearing in the naive expansion. For example, the method of multiple time scales, the normal form method, center manifold theory, and the renormalization group method are well known. It is shown that all of the solutions of the reduced equations constructed with those methods are exactly equal to the sum of the most divergent secular terms appearing in the naive expansion. For the proof, a method to construct a perturbation solution which differs from the conventional one is presented, where we make use of the theory of the Lie symmetry group.
