Proceedings from the BIRS Workshop on Multiple Time Scale Dynamics showcase advances in addressing complex challenges in ODEs, SDEs, and PDEs. The volume highlights innovative blow-up techniques, singular perturbation theory, homogenization, and network analyses with applications ranging from neuroscience to climate science.
This volume contains the proceedings of the BIRS Workshop ""Topics in Multiple Time Scale Dynamics"", held from November 27- December 2, 2022, at the Banff International Research Station, Banff, Alberta, Canada. The area of multiple-scale dynamics is rapidly evolving, marked by significant theoretical breakthroughs and practical applications. The workshop facilitated a convergence of experts from various sub-disciplines, encompassing topics like blow-up techniques for ordinary differential equations (ODEs), singular perturbation theory for stochastic differential equations (SDE), homogenization and averaging, slow-fast maps, numerical approaches, and network dynamics, including their applications in neuroscience and climate science. This volume provides a wide-ranging perspective on the current challenging subjects being explored in the field, including themes such as novel approaches to blowing-up and canard theory in unique contexts, complex multi-scale challenges in PDEs, and the role of stochasticity in multiple-scale systems.
