TLDR
In this article, the utility of the Renormalization group approach as a unification of other asymptotic and perturbation methods is illustrated with nine examples, and the utility is discussed.

The Renormalization Group: A Perturbation Method for the Graduate Curriculum

E. Kirkinis
- 01 May 2012 - 
TL;DR: The renormalization group (RG) method of Chen, Goldenfeld, and Oono is presented in a pedagogical way to increase its visibility in applied mathematics and to argue favorably for its incorporation into the corresponding graduate curriculum.

A Combined Renormalization Group‐Multiple Scale Method for Singularly Perturbed Problems

TL;DR: In this article, a straightforward method to asymptotically solve a variety of initial and boundary value problems for singularly perturbed ordinary differential equations whose solution structure can be anticipated is introduced.

Variation of parameters and the renormalization group method

TL;DR: In this article, a straightforward procedure for using Renormalization Group methods to solve a significant variety of perturbation problems, including some that result from applying a nonlinear version of variation of parameters, is presented.

Analytical approximation of weakly nonlinear continuous systems using renormalization group method

TL;DR: In this paper, a renormalization group method (RGM) is proposed for determining the analytical approximation of weakly nonlinear continuous systems, and the results are in full agreement with those previously obtained with multiple scales method.

Renormalization group and singular perturbations: Multiple scales, boundary layers, and reductive perturbation theory

TL;DR: It is shown that the renormalization group equation may be interpreted as an amplitude equation, and from this point of view develop reductive perturbation theory for partial differential equations describing spatially extended systems near bifurcation points, deriving both amplitude equations and the center manifold.

Simple viscous flows: From boundary layers to the renormalization group

TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of the literature on the problem of determining the drag on a body moving through a very viscous fluid has been presented, with special emphasis on the logical relationship between different approaches.

Analysis of a renormalization group method and normal form theory for perturbed ordinary differential equations

TL;DR: In this article, Chen, Goldenfeld, and Oono used the renormalization group (RG) method for singular perturbation problems and showed that the reduced or amplitude equations generated by the RG method are equivalent to the classical Poincare-Birkhoff normal forms for these systems up to and including terms of O ( ϵ 2 ), where ϵ is the perturbations parameter.

Renormalization-group theoretical reduction

TL;DR: The approach proposed in this paper has considerably eliminated the need for explicit perturbation results, making the RG approach simpler than many conventional singular perturbed approaches, and it may be asserted that reductive extraction of global features of the problem is the essence of singular perturbations methods.
