Abstract:
An initial-value problem for a singularly perturbed differential equation is considered. It is shown that not all calculations which are necessary to obtain an asymptotic expansion in an A.B. Vasilyeva series of a given order can be performed in finite form. However, the portion of the calculations that can be performed symbolically is implemented in the Sage computer algebra system. A program for calculating this part in Sage is presented, computational examples are given.
Key words and phrases:singularly perturbed differential equations, asymptotic series, computer algebra.
