Summary: Members of the research team identify certain technical
problems and make suitable mathematical models. Mathematical modelling and
solving such problems give mathematicians in their field possibility for
new contributions to existing theory and improvement of the known methods
by new elements. In addition, collaborators from electrical engineering and
computer sciences have new opportunities to solve and anallyse the
technical problems.
Keywords: nonlinear least squares problem, parameter identification problem, parameter estimation, moving least squares, growth models, system of nonlinear equations, nets, seminets, partitions of a finite set
Research goals: Interdisciplinary co-operative team consisted of
mathematicians and electrical engineers can define the mathematical models
of problems in the field of electrical engineering. The results of
research contribute to creation new understandings both in mathematics and
electrical engineering. Mathematical methods for solving such problems are
generally known, but they can be specially investigated in some cases
important for the application. In these particular cases it is
possible to obtain such results which general theory does not ensure. For
the problems of the nonlinear extreme and specially for nonlinear least
squares problems, one can examine conditions, prove existence theorems and
modify well known methods or define new methods for solving these problems
in more efficient way. Sparse, large scale nonlinear systems of
equations with special matrix structure often appear in the applications
of electrical engineering. Greater successfulness and efficiency of the
applications can be achieved by means of using modified methods of
quasi-Newton types in that kind of problems.
