In recent years, mathematicians have detailed simpler proofs of known theorems, have identified new applications of the method of averaging, and have obtained many new results of these applications. Encompassing these novel aspects, Method of Averaging of the Infinite Interval: Theory and Applications rigorously explains the modern theory of the method of averaging and provides a solid...

Biography

Vladimir Burd

". . . a very readable book . . . clearly written book can be highly recommended to students with interests in ordinary differential equations. Non-experts and researchers in natural sciences will also find interesting methods that are useful in applications."

– In EMS Newsletter, March 2008

"Covering an important asymptotic method of differential equations, this book provides a thorough understanding of the method of averaging theory and its resulting applications."
