Main research directions:

Ordinary differential equations (8 Dr's.)

In the field of ordinary differential equations the investigations are concentrated around main problems in the theory of nonlinear boundary value problems, such as the existence of solutions, uniqueness and multiplicity of solutions, properties of solutions. A specific feature of the investigations is that a number of the results are sharp, for instance, the definition of upper and lower functions for the second order equations, estimates of nonlinearities in superlinear boundary problems, estimates of the number of solutions in the second order problems having solutions of oscillatory type (Yu.Klokov, A.Lepin, F.Sadyrbaev).
A special class of exact solutions for the nonlinear wave equations has been constructed, and geometrical properties of these solutions are described (V.Gudkov).

Mathematical modeling of physical processes (3 Dr., 1 eng.)

In the field of mathematical modeling main efforts are devoted to elaboration of mathematical models, difference schemes and programs for describing electro-kinetic processes, flows of gas and liquid matter in non-homogeneous media with rapidly varying coefficients, and phase transitions.Transport kinetic models are based on nonlinear Fokker-Planck,diffusion-absortion, advection-diffusion, Schrodinger and master equations. Within the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau model the asymptotic long-distance behaviour of the two-point Green's function below the critical point, as well as approaching the critical point from low temperatures are investigated (J.Kaupuzs, J.Rimshans). Mathematical simulation of electrodiffusion in electrolytes has been done (B.Martuzans, Yu.Skryl).

Theory of optimal control for partial differential equations (2 Dr., 2 eng.)

In the field of theory of optimal control problems for partial differential equations investigations mainly concern various extensions (relaxation, convexication, G-closure) of original problems. Effective descriptions for successful extensions for optimal material layout problems in the case of a single equation are obtained (U.Raitums).
