Applications of Perturbation Series
Abstract: Applications of perturbation series are presented, with historical perspective. Perturbation methods for
roots of polynomials are compared with similar methods for water wave problems. The role of resonances
in perturbation series is explored. Modern
boundary perturbation methods for solving the water wave problem are motivated.
This talk will be accessible to mathematicians of general background.
