It is well known that many phenomena in biology, chemistry, engineering, physics can be described by boundary value problem sassociated with varioustypes ofp- tial di?erential equations or systems. When we associate a mathematical model with a phenomenon, we generally try to capture what is essential, retaining the important quantities and omitting the negligible ones which involve small par- eters. The model that would be obtained by maintaining the small parameters is called the perturbed model, whereas the simplifed model (the one that does not includethesmallparameters)iscalledunperturbed(orreducedmodel). Ofcourse, the unperturbed model is to be preferred, because it is simpler.
