Non-adiabatic effects in the multiple scales analysis of Hamiltonian systems

Multiple scale perturbation theory is an important tool in the analysis of thenonlinear equations appearing in many areas of physics. However this perturbationtheory misses exponentially small terms which give rise to non-adiabatic effects.In this thesis the effect of these non-adiabatic terms is di...
