This article presents a new method of integrating evolution differential equations—the non-
linear Galerkin method—that is well adapted to the long-term integration of such equations.
While the usual Galerkin method can be interpreted as a projection of the considered
equation on a linear space, the methods considered here are related to the projection of the
equation on a nonlinear manifold. From the practical point of view some terms have been
identified as small, and sometimes.(but not always) disregarded.
