  2. Airborne imaging spectroscopy in assesment of urban ecosystem‘s thermal properties

    Recently, significant fluctuations of climatological factors, mainly long-lasting hot seasons without precipitation, results in worsening living conditions from city themal regime point of view.

  4. Algebraic-geometric methods in continuum mechanics and in materials with microstructure

    The theme is focused on the application of the theory of jets and Weil algebras for materials corresponding with Cosserat continuum and generalizations. It is a new use of methods of commutative algebra and modern differential geometry in applications.

    Tutor: Kureš Miroslav, doc. RNDr., Ph.D.

  6. Analysis of dynamical systems exhibiting a chaotic behavior

    Some dynamical systems exhibit a complex behavior known as deterministic chaos. The topic is focused on analysis of suitable chaotic models (with respect to a widest set of system's parameters). This analysis can be extended on models of non-integer (fractional) order as well.

    Tutor: Nechvátal Luděk, doc. Ing., Ph.D.

  7. Application of cluster analysis and other methods of data mining to real data.

    In an automated data collection environment, this large amount of data should be organized and sorted for further analysis. For this, various mining methods, including cloud analysis, are used. The use of these methods, including finding a possible new approach for a special type of data, will address a listed topic.

    Tutor: Žák Libor, doc. RNDr., Ph.D.

  8. Asymptotics and oscillation of dynamic equations

    We shall study qualitative properties of various second order and higher order nonlinear differential equations, which arise from applications (including, e.g., the equations with a (generalized) Laplacian). The research will be focused, for example, on obtaining asymptotic formulae for solutions or establishing new oscillation criteria. We shall deal not only with differential equations but also with their discrete (or time scale) analogues. This will enable us, among others, to compare (and explain) similarities and/or discrepancies between a continuous case and some of its discretization. We plan to utilize various (modifications of and combinations of) standard tools, but also to develop new techniques.

    Tutor: Řehák Pavel, prof. Mgr., Ph.D.

  9. Functional differential equations

    Functional differential equations generalize ordinary differential equations. The research of theirs properties is much more difficult than it is for the ordinary differnetial equations. We shall analyze qualitative properties of the particular functional differential equations, which may appear in real models.

  11. Hyperspectral airborne data quality assessment

    Assessment of data quality is a crucial and meaningful stage in the processing of hyperspectral airborne data. In practice, existing methodologies used for quality assessment are moreover only providing rough quality tags or recommendations without proposing practial methodologies. The objective of the work is to develop a methodology (in an automatic and generic fashion) on hyperspectral airborne data quality assessment, which covers the complete data processing chain. The quality of each step has to be investigated: ranging from sensor calibration up to mapping results. All data, software will be available at the Global Change Research Institute, CAS (CzehGlobe) where Ph.D. candidate will be trained and will get a part time job.

  12. Mathematical methods in solar corona research

    The aim of this work is to improve mathematical methods of solar corona image analysis which enable to measure electron temperature in the solar corona. These methods are based on coronal brightness measurement in several wavelength intervals by means of narrow-band interference filters. The results must be compared with mathematical model of free electrons light scattering in the solar corona. This model already exists however it contains a lot of questionable asumptions and simplifications. Improving of this mathematical model is the main task of the work. This PhD topic is a part of our participation on NASA ONSET spacecraft project in which the PhD work supervisor is on the position of co-investigator for image processing methods and data analysis. The launch of this spacecraft for research of solar corona is planned during 2024 year.

  13. Mathematical modelling of dynamical systems

    Dynamical systems theory provides a useful tool for description and qualitative investigation of many engineering problems. There is a need of profound problem analysis for a construction of adequate mathematical model. Considering too many details is generally leading to complications in the model investigation whereas a negligence of fundamental factors can depreciate obtained analysis. Therefore it is necessary to compare the model analysis with real data (if it is possible). The work consists in applying mathematical and numerical analysis in engineering problems modelling and proper interpretation of obtained results.

    Tutor: Tomášek Petr, doc. Ing., Ph.D.

  14. Mathematical models in logistics

    Many recent logistic problems are related to large-scale mathematical programs. They are often specific by their specialized distributed structure. Such a structure influences theoretical properties of models and also efficiency of classical techniques to modelling and solving. Hence, the key role is often played by approximation-based and decomposition approaches in model building, modifications of existing algorithms, and development of new solution techniques. Therefore, the proposed research goal is to develop new and modify existing methods in both modeling and solution areas of studied problems together with their implementation and application.

    Tutor: Popela Pavel, RNDr., Ph.D.

  15. Modern methods for solving nonlinear variationall differential equations

    Since intial boundary value problems for evolutionary mainly partial differential equations in technology often do not admit classical solution, various generalized formulations of these problems were proposed.

Then the theory will be applied to particular problems occuring in technology and alternatively to carry out numerical experiments.
