  This article includes a short survey of selected averaging and dimension
reduction techniques for deterministic fast-slow systems. This survey includes,
among others, classical techniques, such as the WKB approximation or the
averaging method, as well as modern techniques, such as the GENERIC formalism.
The main part of this article combines ideas of some of these techniques and
addresses the problem of deriving a reduced system for the slow degrees of
freedom (DOF) of a fast-slow Hamiltonian system. In the first part, we derive
an asymptotic expansion of the averaged evolution of the fast-slow system up to
second-order, using weak convergence techniques and two-scale convergence. In
the second part, we determine quantities which can be interpreted as
temperature and entropy of the system and expand these quantities up to
second-order, using results from the first part. The results give new insights
into the thermodynamic interpretation of the fast-slow system at different
scales.
