In the case when the parameter A, multiplying the highest derivative in Eq. (1.1), can take arbitrarily small values, Eq. (1.1) is said to be a singularly perturbed equation of the parabolic type (or a singularly perturbed parabolic equation). Singularly perturbed elliptic equations are obtained in a similar way. 

It is known that, in the case of singularly perturbed elliptic equations for which (as the parameter s equals zero) the equation does not contain any derivatives with respect to the space variable, the principal term in the singular part of the solution is described by an ordinary differential equation similar to Eq. (1.16a) (see, e.g., [3-6]). Thus, it can be expected that, when solving singularly perturbed elliptic and parabolic equations using classical difference schemes, one faces computational problems similar to the computational problems for the boundary value problem (1.16). 

Similar computational problems arise when one solves singularly perturbed elliptic and parabolic equations when the flux is given on the domain boundary. 

The above examples illustrate the fact that, in the case of singularly perturbed elliptic and parabolic equations, the use of classical finite difference schemes does not enable us to find the approximate solutions and the normalized diffusion fluxes with e-uniform accuracy. To find approximate solutions and normalized fluxes that converge e-uniformly, it is necessary to develop special numerical methods, in particular, special finite difference schemes.

Some modification of the describing monotone difference scheme for divergent second-order equations was made by Golant (1978) and Ka-retkina (1980). In Andreev and Savin (1995) this scheme applies equally well to some singular-perturbed problems. Various classes of monotone difference schemes for elliptic equations of second order were composed by Samarskii and Vabishchevich (1995), Vabishchevich (1994) by means of the regularization principle with concern of difference schemes. 

Perturbation theory is one of the oldest and most useful, general techniques in applied mathematics. Its initial applications to physics were in celestial mechanics, and its goal was to explain how the presence of bodies other than the sun perturbed the elliptical orbits of planets. Today, there is hardly a field of theoretical physics and chemistry in which perturbation theory is not used. Many beautiful, fundamental results have been obtained using this approach. Perturbation techniques are also used with great success in other fields of science, such as mathematics, engineering, and economics. 

Pig. 4. CD spectra in the near and far UV of apo- and heme-hemopexin. The CD spectra of rabbit apo- and heme-hemopexin (solid line and dashed line, respectively) at pH 7.4 in 0.05 M sodium phosphate buffer are shown. The increases in ellipticity in the near UV are attributable to changes in tertiary conformation leading to altered environments of aromatic residues, particularly tryptophan. The unusual positive ellipticity in the far UV is attributable to tryptophan-tryptophan interactions that are perturbed by heme binding 124, 130). This positive signal precludes analysis of the secondary structure of hemopexin using current CD-based algorithms. 

For larger T (T = 1.6), chaotic behavior arises, the hyperbolic fixed point is disrupted and the tori are perturbed (see Figure 1.20) [28]. A chaotic region appears with homoclinic tangle and formation of new hyperbolic and elliptic points. 

In the no-barrier zone, the cross-sectional flow field helical flow is induced by the grooves and shows non-linear rotation with only one elliptic point [58], In the barrier zone, a spatially periodic perturbation on the helical flow is imposed and thereby two co-rotating flows form, characterized by a hyperbolic point and two elliptic points. By periodic change of the two flow fields, a chaotic flow can be generated. 

A crystal plane normal to one of the optic zixes should be selected, otherwise elliptic polarization may result, and, the appzirent dichroism may depend on sample thickness. With a suitable sample, the significance of the dichroism still must be examined with caution. Even for a characteristic vibration (such as an N—H or C==0 stretching mode), the measurement indicates only the direction of the transition moment, whereas what is usually desired is the direction of the vibrating bond. The transition moment and the bond may not be parallel because of crystalline perturbations or because of fnframolecular interactions with other parts of the molecule. A portion of the crystalline perturbations can be eliminated by the dilute mixed crystal technique [discussed in Section 3.2.2 (see 975)], but this type of experiment has been performed only for a few cases. 

The Sun s gravitational attraction is the main force acting on each planet, but there are much weaker gravitational forces between the planets, which produce perturbations of their elliptical orbits these make small changes in a planet s orbital elements with time. The planets which perturb the Earth s orbit most are Veuus,... 

Mauser diagrams are very versatile. Every wavelength-dependent property can be used for their construction, e.g., the refractive index or, for optically active photoresponsive molecules, the ellipticity, a property quite sensitive to asymmetric perturbations of the environment. An example is given in Figure 1.6," which shows that on fixation of the azo steroid in PMMA, an optically inactive matrix, the sites are not equivalent. 

According to Chirikov [23J, the onset of chaos is associated with the overlap of neighboring nonlinear resonances. The overlap criterion, which bears the qualitative significance, uses the model of isolated resonances. Each resonance is characterized by its width, the maximum distance (in the action variable) from the elliptic fixed point The overlap means that the sum of the widths of two neighboring resonances is equal to the distance between two fixed points of these isolated resonances. We start with the pendulum Hamiltonian, which describes an isolated 1 N resonance under the periodic perturbation of frequency Q ... 

If the resonant tori, which are the invariant tori whose rotational numbers are rational, are broken under perturbations, the pairs of elliptic and hyperbolic cycles are created in the resonance zone. This fact is known as a result of the Poincare-Birkhoff theorem [4], which holds only if the twist condition, Eq. (2), is satisfied. Around elliptic cycles thus created, new types of tori, which are... 

Many other complex interactions are involved in climatic effects, among them lateral and vertical perturbations of ocean currents, changes in prevailing winds, periodicity in the earth s tilt (1 1/4°, 21,000-year cycle), position of elliptical orbit (97,000-year cycle), and changes in the solar flux (correlated with sunspots, ca. 13-year-cycle) [75]. As the periods of these factors differ, the warming effect of some will be augmented by in-phase peaks at times, and will be decreased or eliminated by out-of-phase peaks at others. So, the net effect is at best difficult to predict. Again, like atmospheric moisture, these variables are beyond our control. 

Both works [2] and [3] show the separations of the eigenvalue equations for H and H, and H and H, in their respective spheroconal coordinates, into Lame differential equations in the individual elliptical cone angular coordinates. The corresponding solutions are Lam6 spheroconal polynomials included in the classic book of Whittaker and Watson [12]. In practice, the numerical evaluation of such Lame functions was not developed in an efficient manner so that the exact formulation of Ref. [2] did not prosper. Consequently, the analysis of rotations of asymmetric molecules took the route of perturbation theory using the familiar basis of spherical harmonics. 

The method of domain perturbations was used for many years before its formal rationalization by D. D. Joseph D. D. Joseph, Parameter and domain dependence of eigenvalues of elliptic partial differential equations, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 24, 325-351 (1967). See also Ref. 3f. The method has been used for analysis of a number of different problems in fluid mechanics A. Beris, R. C. Armstrong and R. A. Brown, Perturbation theory for viscoelastic fluids between eccentric rotating cylinders, J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech. 13, 109-48 (1983) R. G.

A rigorous mathematical existence proof for a periodic surface of small, nonzero constant mean curvature can be obtained with the methods of the theory of nonlinear elliptic differential equations. The resulting surface would be a perturbation of a known periodic minimal surface, but the intent of chapter is rather to exhibit numerical solutions that extend over wide ranges in mean curvature. 

The significance of the two other quantum numbers only becomes evident if the degeneracy is removed by some perturbation (due to deviations from the Coulomb field, introduction of the relativistic variation of mass, presence of an external field, or some other cause). We can, however, gain an idea of the meaning of the quantum numbers from the purely geometrical point of view by considering the elliptic orbit. If, as in 1 (p. 99), we denote the radius of the first circular Bohr orbit for Z = 1 by... 

Superexponential stability is in a sense the outcome of the combination of perturbation methods. The simplest case to be considered is, again, that of an elliptic equilibrium or of the neighborhood of an invariant KAM torus. For definiteness, let us consider the latter case. 

We shall apply the above described theory to the motion of a small body (asteroid, Kuiper belt object, satellite) moving around the Sun in a nearly Keplerian, elliptic, orbit, and perturbed by a major planet. 

According to the KAM theorem (Guckenheimer and Holmes, 1983), for sufficiently small e, the non resonant invariant circles survive the perturbation as nearly circular invariant curves. These invariant curves represent nearly elliptic orbits of the small body that are not periodic both in the rotating frame and the inertial frame. 

For this value of the perturbing parameter a lot of orbits are still invariant tori. Some resonant curves are displayed surrounding some elliptic points and a chaotic, though well confined, zone is generated by the existence of the hyperbolic point at the origin. 

According to the Poincare-Birkhoff fixed point theorem all resonant tori break up for arbitrarily small perturbations. If the rotation number is p/q the perturbation leaves q pairs of hyperbolic and elliptic periodic orbits. The unstable hyperbolic orbits are embedded in a layer filled by aperiodic, chaotic orbits that do not stay on an invariant surface, but cover a finite non-zero volume of the phase space in a chaotic layer around the original resonant torus. The elliptic points, however, are wrapped around by new concentric tori that form islands of regular orbits within the chaotic band (Fig. 2.5).
