Nonstandard singular perturbation systems and higher index differential-algebraic systems

摘要

In order to obtain trajectory approximation results for a given singular perturbation system (SPS), two systems are derived from it: the slow and the fast one. Tikhonov's theorem gives sufficient conditions on them to ensure a good approximation for a standard SPS, i.e., its corresponding slow system is a differential-algebraic system (DAS) of index 1. In this paper it is shown that a nonstandard SPS with the parameter set to zero can be seen as a DAS of higher index. This connection allows us to obtain a Tikhonov's theorem when this DAS is of index 2.
