Nonlinear Mechanics, Groups and SymmetryPaperback, 6 December 2010

Asymptotic methods of nonlinear mechanics developed by N. M. Krylov and N. N. Bogoliubov originated new trend in perturbation theory. They pene- trated deep into various applied branches (theoretical physics, mechanics, ap- plied astronomy, dynamics of space flights, and others) and laid the founda- tion for lrumerous generalizations and for the creation of various modifications of thesem. E!f, hods. A great number of approaches and techniques exist and many differen. t classes of mathematical objects have been considered (ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, delay diffe, 'ential equations and others). The stat. e of studying related problems was described in mono- graphs and original papers of Krylov N. M., Bogoliubov N. N. [1], [2], Bogoli- ubov N. N [1J, Bogoliubov N. N., Mitropolsky Yu. A.
