On the solutions of the renormalized equations at all orders. (English) Zbl 1038.34057
Summary: The renormalization (or averaging) procedure is often used to construct approximate solutions in evolutionary problems with multiple timescales arising from a small parameter $$\varepsilon$$. We show here that the leading-order approximation shares two important properties of the original system, namely energy conservation in the inviscid case and dissipation rate (coercivity) in the forced-dissipative case. This implies the boundedness of the solutions to the renormalized (approximate) equation. In the dissipative case, we also investigate the higher-order renormalized equations, pursuing [the authors, Appl. Math. Optimization 46, 313–330 (2002; Zbl 1031.34052)]; in particular, we show, for sufficiently small $$\varepsilon$$, that the solutions to these equations are bounded and that the dissipativity property of the original system carries over in a modified form. This is shown by a simple estimate based on the above leading-order result, and, alternatively, by a “shadowing” argument.
