Basic Concepts Underlying Singular Perturbation Techniques

Singular perturbation theory

When we apply the steady-state approximation (SSA) in chemical kinetics, we typically argue that some of the intermediates are highly reactive, so that they are removed as fast as they are made. We then set the corresponding rates of change to zero. What we are saying is not that these rates are identically zero, of course, but that they are much smaller than the other rates of reaction. The st...

Fuzzy set theory - basic concepts, techniques and bibliography

Feel lonely? What about reading books? Book is one of the greatest friends to accompany while in your lonely time. When you have no friends and activities somewhere and sometimes, reading book can be a great choice. This is not only for spending the time, it will increase the knowledge. Of course the b=benefits to take will relate to what kind of book that you are reading. And now, we will conc...

Basic Concepts

Motivation Most problems in nature have several (possibly conflicting) objectives to be satisfied. Many of these problems are frequently treated as single-objective optimization problems by transforming all but one objective into constraints. What is a multiobjective optimization problem? The Multiobjective Optimization Problem (MOP) (also called multicriteria optimization, multiperformance or ...
