Preface

Given collected articles have been organized as a result of open joint academic panels of research workers from Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Lomonosov Moscow State University and Institute for Applied Systems Analysis of the National Technical University of Ukraine “Kyiv Polytechnic Institute,” devoted to applied problems of mathematics, mechanics, and engineering, which attracted attention of researchers from leading scientific schools of Brazil, France, Germany, Poland, Russian Federation, Spain, Mexico, Ukraine, USA, and other countries. Modern technological applications require development and synthesis of fundamental and applied scientific areas, with a view to reducing the gap that may still exist between theoretical basis used for solving complicated technical problems and implementation of obtained innovations. To solve these problems, mathematicians, mechanics, and engineers from wide research and scientific centers have been worked together. Results of their joint efforts, including applied methods of modern algebra and analysis, fundamental and computational mechanics, nonautonomous and stochastic dynamical systems, optimization, control and decision sciences for continuum mechanics problems, are partially presented here. In fact, serial publication of such collected papers to similar seminars is planned. This is the sequel of earlier two volumes “Continuous and Distributed Systems: Theory and Applications.” In this volume, we are focusing on recent advances in dynamical systems and control (theoretical bases as well as various applications):
