Analysis I Analysis delivers essential tools for investigations in Mathematics and applications (Physics, Elasticity ). In Georgia is performed, traditionally, an Intensive research in Analysis. A very short list of Main achievements: Theory of integral operators in nonstandard Banach function spaces: variable exponent weighted spaces, including grand Lebesgue spaces GNSF, INTAS & NATO; Solution of trace problems for Riesz potentials, fractional maximal functions and potentials with product kernel in Grand Lebesgue Spaces GNSF & INTAS;

Ordinary Differential Equations I Differential equations encounter almost in all mathematical models in Mechanics, Physics, Biology etc. It is divided in two: ordinary (ODE) and partial (PDE). A short list of investigations in ordinary differential equations: Construction of the theory of boundary value problems for linear and nonlinear ordinary differential equations and systems with nonintegrable singularities - GNSF;

Partial Differential Equations I A big majority of mathematical models in Elsticity, Physics, Biology etc. lead to Boundary Value Prblems (BVPs) for Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). A big challenge at the turn of 20-th and 21-st century was the development of the theory of BVPs for PDEs in domains slit by open surfaces (crack and screen -type problems). The results apply to the investigation of cracks problems in 3D elastic bodies, scattering (diffraction) of electromagnetic waves by open surfaces, antennas and surfaces of military and civil objects etc.
Partial Differential Equations II The challenge was to establish not only the solvability properties, but develop tools for analysis of singularities and efficient numerical methods.
