Department of Applied Mathematics

History

The Department of Applied Mathematics was established on September 1, 2015, based on the merger of three long-standing departments:

Scientific research at the department is conducted in the following main areas:

controllability and stabilization of dynamical systems; synthesis of bounded controls for nonlinear systems; algebraic methods in the theory of nonlinear controlled systems;
controllability and stabilizability in infinite-dimensional spaces;
reduction of nonlinear controlled systems to linear ones;
control of oscillations in Timoshenko beams;
the Markov moment problem on the shortest possible interval and its applications in optimal control theory;
numerical methods for singular and hypersingular integral equations in electrodynamics and diffraction theory;
mathematical modeling of the evolution of physical and financial–economic systems;
applications of spectral–analytic and probabilistic–statistical methods;
theory of functional – differential, impulsive, and difference equations of Sobolev type; spectral theory of operator pencils;
modeling of the human arterial, musculoskeletal, and dental systems; thermodynamics of biological growth; long-distance fluid transport in plants and animals; biothermohydromechanics; optimal biomechanical systems;
modeling of media with complex properties in electromagnetic fields; magnetohydrodynamic phenomena;
equilibrium and stability of free surfaces of magnetizable and polarizable liquids and solid bodies levitating in electromagnetic fields;
problems in continuum mechanics and electrodynamics.

The department is headed by Professor V. I. Korobov.

The academic and research staff includes: 8 Professors, 8 Associate Professors, 3 Senior Lecturers, 1 Senior Research Fellow.
