  6. Asymptotics and oscillation of dynamic equations

    We shall study qualitative properties of various second order and higher order nonlinear differential equations, which arise from aplications (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 to compare and explain similaritities between the continuous case and some of its discretization, to get an extension to new time scales, or to obtain new results e.g. in the classical discrete case through a suitable transformation to other time scale.

The assembled linear model is then the input of a suitable neural network.

    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.

  23. Stochastic Programming Related Statistical Techniques

    Many recent engineering optimization problems are related to large-scale stochastic programs. They involve random elements and they are often specific by a specialized structure and a huge set of input data. Thus, their solution algorithms need the use of approximating scenario-based programs designed by suitable statistical techniques during a preprocessing phase. Therefore, the proposed research goal is to develop new and modify existing methods in the creation of approximating stochastic programs and their solution techniques together with their implementation and application.
