Singular perturbation method for evolution equations in Banach spaces

The singular perturbation method is applied to linear evolution equations in Banach spaces containing a small parameter multiplying the time derivative. Outer and inner asymptotic solutions are formulated and the sense in which they converge to the exact solution is rigorously defined. It is then shown that the sum of the two asymptotic solutions converges uniformly to the exact solution. Possible applications to various physical situations are indicated. (Auth.)
