Scaling in Singular Perturbation Problems: Blowing Up a Relaxation Oscillator

Scaling in Singular Perturbation Problems: Blowing Up a Relaxation Oscillator

An introduction to some recently developed methods for the analysis of systems of singularly perturbed ordinary differential equations is given in the context of a specific problem describing glycolytic oscillations. In suitably scaled variables the governing equations are a planar system of ordinary differential equations depending singularly on two small parameters ε and δ. In [20] it was arg...

Blowing Up the Power of a Singular Cardinal

Blowing up Power of a Singular Cardinal –wider Gaps

The paper is concerned with methods for blowing power of singular cardinals using short extenders. Thus, for example, starting with κ of cofinality ω with {α < κ | o(α) ≥ α+n} cofinal in κ for every n < ω we construct a cardinal preserving extension having the same bounded subsets of κ and satisfying 2κ = κ+δ+1 for any δ < א1.

On some anisotropic singular perturbation problems

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of some anisotropic diffusion problems and give some estimates on the rate of convergence of the solution toward its limit. We also relate this type of elliptic problems to problems set in cylinder becoming unbounded in some directions and show how some information on one type leads to information for the other type and conversely. 1. A model problem The g...
