Perturbation Techniques in Mathematics, Engineering and Physics (Dover Books on Physics) by Richard Bellman (PDF)

Description

An introduction to a variety of perturbation techniques for ordinary differential equations, this work outlines applications through specific examples. Mathematicians, engineers, and applied scientists will find its exposition entirely accessible.The first part covers the classical perturbation techniques. Dr. Bellman begins with a readily solved linear algebraic equation that exhibits some of the versatility of the Lagrange expansion theorem. This leads by easy stages to a discussion of the matrix exponential and to a brief excursion into the domain of Poincaré and Lyapunov, where invariant imbedding is illustrated. Subsequent discussions of alternative perturbation techniques employ dynamic programming. The second chapter concentrates on nonlinear differential equations, presenting renormalization techniques of Lindstedt and Shohat and averaging techniques by Bellman and Richardson. The concluding chapter considers a variety of questions centering on a second-order linear differential equation, explaining the applications of the WKB-Liouville method and asymptotic series.Exercises, comments, and an annotated bibliography follow each demonstration of technique. The text presupposes a course in intermediate calculus and rudiments of the theory of ordinary differential equations. For the engineer, physicist, or mathematician working in fields requiring the solution of differential equations, this text provides a stimulating introduction to analytical approximation techniques.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Bellman was one of the pioneers of modern control theory. I bought the book because I am an engineer who is interested in control theory. This book is very mathematical and has very little engineering focus. This book was near the edge of my mathematical comprehension. I could follow the first couple of chapters but either lacked the background or attention to go beyond chapter 3. However it does look impressive on my bookshelf 8-).

⭐as expected
