On expansions for nonlinear systems Error estimates and convergence issues by Beauchard, Karine, Le Borgne, Jérémy, Marbach, Frédéric

“…Inspired by quantum mechanics, we introduce a new mixed expansion, designed to isolate the role of a time-invariant drift from the role of a time-varying perturbation.Second, in the context of nonlinear ordinary differential equations driven by regular vector fields, we give rigorous proofs of error estimates between the exact solution and finite approximations of the formal expansions. …”
