Abstract: This article concerns two methods for reducing large systems of chemical kinetics equations, namely, the method of intrinsic low-dimensional manifolds (ILDMs) due to Maas and Pope and an iterative method due to Fraser and further developed by Roussel and Fraser. Both methods exploit the separation of fast and slow reaction time scales to find low-dimensional manifolds in the space of species concentrations where the long-term dynamics are played out. The analysis is carried out in the context of systems of ordinary differential equations with multiple time scales and geometric singular perturbation theory. A small parameter eps measures the separation of time scales. The underlying assumptions are that the system of equations has an asymptotically stable slow manifold mathcalM0 in the limit as epsdownarrow0 and that there exists a slow manifold mathcalMeps for all sufficiently small positive eps, which is asymptotically close to mathcalM0. It is shown that the ILDM method yields a low-dimensional manifold whose asymptotic expansion agrees with the asymptotic expansion of mathcalMeps up to and including terms of mathcalO(eps). The error at mathcalO(eps2) is proportional to the local curvature of mathcalM0. The iterative method generates, term by term, the asymptotic expansion of the slow manifold mathcalMeps. The analytical results are illustrated in two examples.
