Abstract
An investigation is made of the asymptotic behavior of the solutionu(t;ε) to the Volterra integral equation
, in the limit as ε→0. This investigation involves a singular perturbation analysis. For the linear problem (n=1) an infinite, uniformly valid asymptotic expansion ofu(t;ε) is obtained. For the nonlinear problem (n≥2), the leading two terms of a uniformly valid expansion are found
Zusammenfassung
Das asymptotische Verhalten der Lösung der Volterraschen Integralgleichung
, wird im Grenzfalle ε→0 mittels einer singulären Perturbationsanalyse untersucht. Für das lineare Problem (n=1) wird eine unendliche, gleichmässig gültige, Entwicklung erhalten, während für das nichtlineare Problem (n≥2) die zwei ersten Glieder der Entwicklung berechnet werden.
