Computational singular perturbation analysis of stochastic chemical systems with stiffness
Computational singular perturbation (CSP) is a useful method for analysis, reduction, and time integration of stiff ordinary differential equation systems. It has found dominant utility, in particular, in chemical reaction systems with a large range of time scales at continuum and deterministic level. On the other hand, CSP is not directly applicable to chemical reaction systems at micro or meso-scale, where stochasticity plays an non-negligible role and thus has to be taken into account. In this work we develop a novel stochastic computational singular perturbation (SCSP) analysis and time integration framework, and associated algorithm, that can be used to not only construct accurately and efficiently the numerical solutions to stiff stochastic chemical reaction systems, but also analyze the dynamics of the reduced stochastic reaction systems. Furthermore, the algorithm is illustrated by an application to a benchmark stochastic differential equation model, and numerical experiments are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the construction.

Singularly Perturbed System of Parabolic Equations in the Critical Case
We examine a system of singularly perturbed parabolic equations in the case where the small parameter is involved as a coefficient of both time and spatial derivatives and the spectrum of the limit operator has a multiple zero point. In such problems, corner boundary layers appear, which can be described by products of exponential and parabolic boundary-layer functions. Under the assumption that the limit operator is a simple-structure operator, we construct a regularized asymptotics of a solution, which, in addition to corner boundary-layer functions, contains exponential and parabolic boudary-layer functions. The construction of the asymptotics is based on the regularization method for singularly perturbed problems developed by S. A. Lomov and adapted to singularly perturbed parabolic equations with two viscous boundaries by A. S. Omuraliev.

Singularly Perturbed Lie Bracket Approximation
Here, we consider the interconnection of two dynamical systems where one has an input-affine vector field. We show that by employing a singular perturbation analysis and the Lie bracket approximation technique, the stability of the overall system can be analyzed by regarding the stability properties of two reduced, uncoupled systems.

On differential singular perturbation problems: a simple variational approach
An alternative approach for the analysis and the numerical approximation of singular perturbation problems, using a variational framework, is presented. It is based on the natural idea of minimizing the residual of the differential equation measured in the L{sup 2} norm. By this strategy, the approximation is based in the solution of a set of linear problems giving the descent step directions of the problem. This is the main advantage of our approach, since we can use stable and convergent methods for linear problems (without assuming the knowledge of good initial guesses used in the approximation of the associated non-linear systems necessary in Newton-type methods). Remember that for this type of problems, we should use implicit methods. We prove that our procedure can never get stuck in local minima, and the error decreases until getting to the original solution independent of the perturbation parameter. Finally, we include some numerical examples.

A continuous interior penalty finite element method for a third-order singularly perturbed boundary value problem
We propose a continuous interior penalty finite element method designed for a third-order singularly perturbed problem. Using higher order polynomials on Shishkin-type layer-adapted meshes, a robust convergence has been proved in the corresponding energy norm. Moreover, we show numerical experiments which support our theoretical findings.

Control Design of Series-connected PV-powered Grid-forming Converters via Singular Perturbation
We report modular architectures that consist of several series-connected dc-ac converters have been a focal point of recent innovations in transformerless medium-voltage applications. In this paper, we consider an architecture consisting of dc-ac modules containing a quadruple active bridge dc-dc converter, which generates three floating dc links that feed grid-side dc-ac inverters. Practical implementation of such a converter module in PV systems requires a variety of controllers that collectively achieve maximum power point tracking, dc-link regulation, and ac-side power control. Design of such multi-loop systems is generally quite challenging due to the potential for destabilizing interactions among loops. Here we propose a design approach where singular perturbation theory is used to decompose the timescales at which each control loop operates and provides a systematic framework for parametric selection. Our approach also ensures system stability of multiple modules with identical controls connected in series across a grid. The paper concludes with experimental results of three 1000 W series-connected converter modules across a stiff grid.

Using computational singular perturbation as a diagnostic tool in ODE and DAE systems: a case study in heterogeneous catalysis
We have extended the computational singular perturbation (CSP) method to differential algebraic equation (DAE) systems and demonstrated its application in a heterogeneous-catalysis problem. The extended method obtains the CSP basis vectors for DAEs from a reduced Jacobian matrix that takes the algebraic constraints into account. Here we use a canonical problem in heterogeneous catalysis, the transient continuous stirred tank reactor (T-CSTR), for illustration. The T-CSTR problem is modelled fundamentally as an ordinary differential equation (ODE) system, but it can be transformed to a DAE system if one approximates typically fast surface processes using algebraic constraints for the surface species. We demonstrate the application of CSP analysis for both ODE and DAE constructions of a T-CSTR problem, illustrating the dynamical response of the system in each case. We also highlight the utility of the analysis in commenting on the quality of any particular DAE approximation built using the quasi-steady state approximation (QSSA), relative to the ODE reference case.

Averaging and Linear Programming in Some Singularly Perturbed Problems of Optimal Control
The paper aims at the development of an apparatus for analysis and construction of near optimal solutions of singularly perturbed (SP) optimal controls problems (that is, problems of optimal control of SP systems) considered on the infinite time horizon. We mostly focus on problems with time discounting criteria but a possibility of the extension of results to periodic optimization problems is discussed as well. Our consideration is based on earlier results on averaging of SP control systems and on linear programming formulations of optimal control problems. The idea that we exploit is to first asymptotically approximate a given problem of optimal control of the SP system by a certain averaged optimal control problem, then reformulate this averaged problem as an infinite-dimensional linear programming (LP) problem, and then approximate the latter by semi-infinite LP problems. We show that the optimal solution of these semi-infinite LP problems and their duals (that can be found with the help of a modification of an available LP software) allow one to construct near optimal controls of the SP system. We demonstrate the construction with two numerical examples.

Explicit time integration of the stiff chemical Langevin equations using computational singular perturbation
A stable explicit time-scale splitting algorithm for stiff chemical Langevin equations (CLEs) is developed, based on the concept of computational singular perturbation. The drift term of the CLE is projected onto basis vectors that span the fast and slow subdomains. The corresponding fast modes exhaust quickly, in the mean sense, and the system state then evolves, with a mean drift controlled by slow modes, on a random manifold. The drift-driven time evolution of the state due to fast exhausted modes is modeled algebraically as an exponential decay process, while that due to slow drift modes and diffusional processes is integrated explicitly. This enables time integration step sizes much larger than those required by typical explicit numerical methods for stiff stochastic differential equations. The algorithm is motivated and reported on, and extensive numerical experiments are conducted to illustrate its accuracy and stability with a number of model systems.

Asymptotics of the General Solution of a Linear Singularly Perturbed System of Higher-Order Differential Equations with Degenerations
By using the theory of polynomial matrix pencils, we construct the asymptotics of linearly independent solutions of homogeneous singularly perturbed system of linear differential equations of any order m with matrices at higher derivatives degenerating as a small parameter approaches zero. The general case is analyzed. In this case, the limit matrix pencil has several finite and infinite elementary divisors of both the same and different multiplicities. The corresponding asymptotic estimates are presented.

The theory of nonclassical relaxation oscillations in singularly perturbed delay systems
Some special classes of relaxation systems are introduced, with one slow and one fast variable, in which the evolution of the slow component x(t) in time is described by an ordinary differential equation, while the evolution of the fast component y(t) is described by a Volterra-type differential equation with delay y(t−h), h=const>0, and with a small parameter ε>0 multiplying the time derivative. Questions relating to the existence and stability of impulse-type periodic solutions, in which the x-component converges pointwise to a discontinuous function as ε→0 and the y-component is shaped like a δ-function, are investigated. The results obtained are illustrated by several examples from ecology and laser theory. Bibliography: 11 titles. (paper)

Singular Perturbation-Based Large-Signal Order Reduction of Microgrids for Stability and Accuracy Synthesis With Control
The increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) highlights the growing importance of microgrids (MGs) in enhancing power system reliability. Employing electromagnetic transient (EMT) analysis in MGs becomes crucial for controlling the rapid transients. However, this requires an accurate but high-order model of power electronics and their underlying control loops, complexifying the stability analysis from the viewpoint of a higher control level. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes a large-signal order reduction (LSOR) method for MGs with considerations of external control inputs and the detailed dynamics of underlying control levels based on singular perturbation theory (SPT). Specially, we innovatively proposed and strictly proved a general stability and accuracy assessment theorem that allows us to analyze the dynamic stability of a full-order nonlinear system by only leveraging our derived reduced-order model (ROM) and boundary layer model (BLM). Furthermore, this theorem furnishes a set of conditions that determine the accuracy of the developed ROM. Lastly, by embedding such a theorem into the SPT, we propose a novel LSOR approach with guaranteed accuracy and stability analysis equivalence. Case studies are conducted on MG systems to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
