On the Validity of the Two-Timing Method for Large Times

Abstract
In this paper we investigate the validity of the two-timing method when used to approximate the solution of an initial value problem tending to a limit cycle. It is shown that the two-timing method leads to an orbitally valid asymptotic approximation of the stable limit cycles, but that in certain situations, the two-timing method predicts an incorrect domain of attraction. As such, for certain initial values, two-timing predicts entirely incorrect long time behavior.
