Making different time scales and limit situation rigorous












0












$begingroup$


There is a splitting of time scales which I don't understand; it is described below:





We have the following system:
$$
{dot {textbf x}=A({textbf x})textbf catopdot {textbf c}=B({textbf x})textbf c}$$
for $$ {textbf x}={schoose p}$$ and $$textbf c=left( begin{array}{c}
c_0 \ c_1 \ c_2
end{array} right),
$$

with $A({textbf x})$ and $B({textbf x})$ matrices depending on ${textbf x}$.
Let $epsilon = c_0 + c_1 + c_2$ and set
$$
textbf c=epsilon gamma .
$$

This shows that a splitting of time-scales appears when $epsilon$ is small because
$$
dot {textbf x}=epsilon A({textbf x}) gamma;quaddot{gamma}=B({textbf x})gamma.
$$

Introducing a new time variable $tau=epsilon t$, we write
$$
dot {textbf x}=frac{d{textbf x}}{dt}=epsilonfrac{d{textbf x}}{dtau}=epsilon {textbf x}',quad dot{ gamma}=frac{d gamma}{dt}=epsilonfrac{d gamma}{dtau}=epsilon gamma'
$$

and conclude that
$$
{textbf x}'=A({textbf x})gamma,,epsilongamma'=B({textbf x})gamma.
$$

For $epsilon=0$ this reduces to
$$
{textbf x}'=A({textbf x})gamma$$
with $$B({textbf x}) gamma=0 $$ and $$gamma_0+gamma_1+gamma_2=1.
$$





Now my question is: what is exactly happening when we set $epsilon = 0$? I'm looking for a rigorous explanation.



We derive the equation:
$$B({textbf x}) gamma=0 $$
But it seems a bit fishy to me.



Also I don't know how to intepret $gamma$ in that equation, i.e. what is the variable it depends on?

          If $epsilon = 0$, $x' = 0$, or $x$ stays constant.
          Usually you want to take $epsilon$ very small, but not $0$.



          The point of multiple time scale analysis is to simplify complex dynamical system that has multiple components acting on multiple time scale. By isolating the slow/fast time scale component, you either assume that the component changing on a slower time scale to be approximately constant, or the component changing on a fast time scale to reach a (quasi) steady state first. Setting $epsilon = 0$ simply means one component is not changing at all, which is not the point of multiple time scale analysis.
