Fishman, Shmuel; Soffer, Avy Multiscale time averaging, reloaded. (English) Zbl 1310.34051 SIAM J. Math. Anal. 46, No. 2, 1385-1405 (2014). The paper deals with a general dynamical system of the form \[ i\,\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\, \vec c = \beta A(t)\vec c, \] where \(\beta\) is a small parameter and \(\vec c\) has finite dimension. The authors introduce the mean \[ \bar A_0^{(n)} = \frac{1}{T_0} \int\limits_{nT_0}^{(n+1)T_0} A(s)ds \] and develop a rigorously controlled multi-time scale averaging technique. The averaging is done on a finite time interval, properly chosen, and then, via iterations and normal form transformations, the time intervals are scaled to arbitrary order. The authors consider as an example the problem of a finite dimensional conservative dynamical system, which is quasi periodic and dominated by slow frequencies, leading to small divisor problems in perturbative schemes. The obtained estimates hold for arbitrary long time intervals similar to the Nekhoroshev-type results.
