ARTIFICIAL SMALL PARAMETER METHOD—SOLVING MIXED BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS I. V. ANDRIANOV, J. AWREJCEWICZ, AND A. IVANKOV Received 4 November 2004 The method of multiple scales is so popular that it is being rediscovered just about every 6 months. A. H. Nayfeh [37, page 232] A novel method for solving mixed boundary value problem is presented. A computational efficiency of the proposed method is illustrated using a few mechanical examples. 1. Introduction The phrase quoted from Nayfeh’s book applies also to the case of an artificial small pa- rameter. Note that the introduction of the artificial small parameter is usually motivated either by a lack of a real physical small parameter or by a rather narrow application zone for the natural small parameter [ 1, 2, 11, 14, 24]. In general, the expression “small param- eter” can be used in a different manner. Namely, the following key question occurs: is it possible to obtain a useful information directly through either a natural small parameter or an introduction of an artificial one (or through the application of a useful summation procedure)? This problem has been addressed in references [ 1, 12, 13, 26, 35]. In this respect it is worthwhile to speak rather directly on the “methods devoted to the development using a parameter” than to speak only on a “small parameter” [26]. From this point of view there is no difference between a real and an artificial small parameter. However, following tradition, the phrase “artificial small parameter” will be used. It is worth noticing that the idea of introducing a small parameter has been used in different branches of mathematics. For example, Dorodnitzyn [18] proposed the method of introduction of the parameter ε into the input equations and the boundary conditions in the way that for ε = 0 a simplifie
