Abstract

An asymptotic approach is rather efficient when dealing with the theory of oscillations, since one often can figure out a number of relatively simple limit cases which can be efficiently treated and completely understood. Such an approach allows the deepest possible simplification but preserves the most significant features of dynamical behavior. At the same time, one can use the expansions by small parameters characterizing the deviation of the system from the tractable limit case.
