摘要
This paper is concerned with the study of structurally stable properties associated with systems described by one, or several, real analytic vector fields via approximating systems which retain information pertinent to these properties. For example, let X0, ..., X(m) be real analytic vector fields on an n-manifold M. An affine control system has the form (i) x = X0(x) + SIGMA-i-1m u(i)X(i)(x); a second-order partial differential equation can be written as (ii) SIGMA-i = 1m X(i)2v - X0v = f, while if X0(p) = 0 the asymptotic stability of the rest solution requires analysis of (iii) x = X0(x). If, in (ii), m < n yet the vector fields in the Lie algebra generated by X1, ..., X(m), when evaluated at p, span the tangent space to M at p, the operator is hypoelliptic but an approximation of the vector fields needed to describe the singularity in a parametrix must retain more information than a linearization of the vector fields does. Similarly, the question of small time local controllability of (i) has been dealt with by constructing higher-order approximating vector fields which generate a nilpotent Lie algebra. The theory of these high-order approximations and their applications is concisely developed.
