About definition: while the definition you give may be technically precise, it is not very readable for a layperson who has not been exposed to singular perturbations; in practice the motion of singular perturbation can only be understood by working through some examples. In addition, your definition
231:
To solve, you form two solutions and recombine them later appropriately. The first solution you find by letting ε go to zero and solving the corresponding first order ODE. For the second solution, change variables to η, recompute y' and y' ', then ignore the ε term (this is equivalent to assuming x
272:
Also I dont think it hurts to include an ODE example here; only after going through such an example can one appreciate what is meant by singular perturbations. After all, most books on singular perturbations start with an example to explain what is meant by singular perturbation. I've partially
287:
How would you solve it? All the stuff I can find on the internet shows how to solve the case where the small parameter (epsilon) is a coefficient of the highest derivative (not the case here). I don't have a lot of money or access to a large library. Also, it appears to be resistant to regular
251:. I would recommend putting any further examples in that article. In general, this article refers to a wide class of problems and methods. As such, it should be descriptive and unifying, with links to the various methods' articles, wherein are found specific examples.

238:
The above technique does not always work. Also, there are many ODE singular perturbation problems that look very different (need not have ε as coefficient of highest derivative). The common characteristic is that normal perturbation techniques do not work.

187:
can we agree on what that is? how about a problem involving a parameter ɛ so that as ɛ→0 the solution does not converge to the solution of the unperturbed problem (i.e. the problem where we set ɛ=0).
378:
254:
Also, the definition that recently and quite rudely replaced the one I had written, based on the literature in singular perturbation theory, was imprecise and technically inferior to mine. --
195:
Method of solution: find the possible scaling of x; for each scaling take the limit ɛ=0 and solve remaining problem. Convert back solution to original variables to reconstruct solution.
191:
we can give a simple example ɛx^8 + x^2 -1 =0. There are 2 solutions that converge to the unperturbed problem, and 6 solutions that do not. This is a singularly perturbed problem.

222:εy' ' + y' + y = 0, where y = y(x,ε) (y' means dy/dx), and x is on the closed unit interval. Boundary conditions: y(0,ε) = 0, y(1,ε) = 1.
235:
In general, singular perturbation occurs when the small variable (e.g. ε) is a coefficient to the highest order derivative in the ODE.

The ODE example that was given (which I thought was quite good, by the way) was unnecessary in light of the article
21:
600:{\displaystyle p(r)=A{\frac {\exp({\sqrt {\varepsilon }}r)}{r}}+B{\frac {\exp(-{\sqrt {\varepsilon }}r)}{r}}}
202:
I think that the main point we should try to give is the importance of scaling for this method of solution.

Ofcourse, this can be done also in ODE's and PDE's and possibly other fields...any nice examples anyone?
