There is no applied mathematics in form of a ready doctrine.
It originates in the contact of mathematical thought with
the surrounding world, but only when mathematical
spirit and the matter are in a flexible state.

Aims and scope

The main goal of this research project is the analysis of anomalous diffusion processes. We plan to build a rigorous mathematical theory of fractional dynamics observed in molecular biology of complex systems and to propose effective statistical algorithms for the analysis of experimental data in nanoscale. The project consists of three parts. The first two parts have theoretical character, the third one is devoted to the statistical analysis of experimental data. The obtained results shall be published in respected scientific journals from ISI Master Journal List and will be presented on the international scientific conferences.

Tasks
  • Analysis of Levy walks and correlated continuous-time random walks
  • FARIMA (ARFIMA) time series in the modeling of anomalous diffusion processes
  • Single particle tracking experiments - statistical identification of anomalous diffusion complex systems and their properties.
