101078950 | Georgian Artificial Intelligence Networking and Twinning Initiative (GAIN) | HORIZON EUROPE - WIDERA-2021-ACCESS-03 (Twinning ) | European Union | 1319250 EUR | 2022 - 2025 | G. Giorgobiani | V. Kvaratskhelia, Z. Sanikidze, K. Kachiashvili, Z. Tabagari, M. Menteshashvili, G. Ghlonti, T. Saginadze, T. Javakhishvili, B. Oikashvili, I. Kachiashvili, V. Berikashvili (and others) | The project started on October 1, 2022. Our partners are distinguished European institutions in the field: German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI); National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (INRIA); EXOLAUNCH GmbH (EXO). Within the GAIN project the Artificial Intelligence (AI) related scientific and innovation excellence of the major Georgian research institute working in the area of Computer Sciences, Muskhelishvili Institute of Computational Mathematics at Georgian Technical University (MICM), will be radically strengthen and networked with the leading European research communities. Therefore, the entire ICT research community of Georgia will improve its integration with the concerted European efforts aimed at preserving the European leadership and research capacities in a such strategically important area as AI. The importance of the project’s specific focus on this area can be justified by the common understanding that AI represents one of the greatest opportunities for the global societal and economic progress. | - | As the project has just started, only two tasks are processed at the moment: -The project Kick Off Meeting was held at Muskhelishvili Institute of Computational Mathematics (MICM). It was attended by the representatives of partner organizations from Europe, heads of departments and employees of GTU and the Institute, guests from other organizations (up to 70 participants in total); -Deliverable 1.1 (related to the ethical issues) was submitted to EC. In the frames of the project "MICM AI Lab" is functioning, which includes about 20 researchers, mostly young. The lab will be supported financially as well as scientifically by the project for 3 years. After that we plan to maintain created research capacities by the help of the government of Georgia. |
DI-18-1429 | Application of probabilistic methods in discrete optimization and scheduling problems | Research with participation of compatriots residing abroad | Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia | 200900 GEL | 13/12/2018-12/12/2021 | Nodar Vakhania | V. Tarieladze (co-investigator), B. Mamporia (manager), Z. Sanikidze, V. Berikashvili, A. Chakhvadze | The project deals with the theoretical and practical aspects of determining the relationship between probability theory and combinatorial optimization. | The project deals with the theoretical and practical aspects of determining the relationship between probability theory and combinatorial optimization. The analysis in this area revealed perspectives on the application of various probabilistic processes and their associated random elements and stochastic integrals, as well as the application of a number of known results in scheduling problems. Unification of the two named fields of mathematics in the development of methodologies for solving practically important tasks of production management and optimization, as well as the economic-social and non-local nature of these tasks, implies the need for interdisciplinary research in the context of international scientific cooperation which, to some extent, was implemented by the participants while working on the project. The project introduces new approaches that involve the use of probabilistic estimates and random processes in the algorithmic implementation of scheduling problems. | The following results were obtained by the project participants: - the number of optimal solutions is determined, the corresponding optimal schedules are presented and the magnitude of the complete optimal completion time for specific cases in single-processor scheduling problems is determined. The probability of the occurrence that the randomly taken schedule from the possible allowable schedule is optimized is calculated. - has been explored the possibility of using certain types of probabilistic distributions in scheduling problems where the processing times by the processor are random values which may lead to incorrect results. The concept of symmetrically sliced normally distributed random quantities has been introduced, the application of which, by selecting the slicing level, avoids the development of irregular processes in solving these problems. - theorems have been formulated and validated for the application of the probabilistic analogy of a set of optimal solutions for some scheduling problems. - For multiprocessor scheduling problems, the issues related to the mathematical processing of the process of efficient distribution of tasks on identical processors have been studied, in case of different job execution times. -a practical case from the theory of scheduling is considered when, under certain conditions, a new structural- algorithmic scheme of the process is proposed to minimize the total importance of deliveries in continuous batches and the corresponding delays, including the online scenario. The presented main results are realized in the form of 7 articles published in international refereed scientific journals, and reports (or conference theses, publications) presented at 13 international and 1 local scientific forums. |
FR/539/5-100/13 | 150000 GEL | 2014-2016 | S. Chobanyan | N. Vakhania, V. Kvaratskelia, G. Chelidze, V. Tarieladze, G. Giorgobiani | The project deals with the problems of analysis related to the rearrangements of summands. The famous Riemann theorem and the concepts of conditionally and unconditionally convergent series are closely related to the topic of the project. | The project deals with fundamental and applied problems related to mathematical methods of research of rearrangements of vector summands. The following tasks were planned in the project: (i) find new maximal inequalities of Leventhal type, as well as maximal inequalities for fixed (invariant) multipliers (scalars or operators). Also, rewrite the inequalities in terms of rearrangements of random variables. (ii) prove the Steinitz-type theorem for non-locally convex spaces (maximally expand the class of spaces where the "sigma-theta" condition is sufficient). (iii) a complete generalization of the Nikishin-type theorem, where the convergence of series holds for almost all simple permutations. Prove similar theorems from probability theory: the strong law of large numbers and the law of repeated logarithm. (iv) Investigate the methods around the Kolmogorov hypothesis and implementing the following approach: using the transference lemma, prove Garcia's hypothesis first for equal-module coefficients, then for the general case, using the Maurey -Pisier idea. (v) Study of optimal algorithms in the compact vector summation problem. Clarify the relationship between "greedy" and optimal algorithms. Applications in scheduling theory: volume calendar planning problem, Sevastianov's approach. | Our contribution to the topic of the project can be formulated as follows: (i) We derived a number of maximal inequalities: the basic transfer lemma, the two-sided maximal inequality for rearrangements in terms of means and distributions. These inequalities include, in particular, the well-known Garcia inequalities for arbitrary sequence of numbers and orthonormal systems. (ii) We solved M. Kadetz's long-standing problem about the structure of the set of sums: what conditions must be satisfied by a conditionally convergent series in order to satisfy Steinitz's theorem (namely, its set of sums be affine and closed). We have shown that the so-called ""sigma-theta"" condition ensures the validity of Steinitz's theorem in metrizable locally convex and locally bounded spaces. (iii) We have found a methodology for proving Nikishin-type theorems for rearrangement convergent series. Using it, we generalized and improved Nikishin's theorems, which today represent the strongest theorems in this direction. (iv) We have found an ""almost"" solution to Kolmogorov's famous conjecture about the existence of a rearrangement of an orthonormal system that transforms the system into a convergence system. We have also shown that the fulfillment of the ""sigma-theta"" condition ensures that the rearranged Fourier series of a continuous periodic function is uniformly convergent; The result is related to Ulyanov's open problem. (v ) Our permutation lemma suggests an algorithm for finding the optimal permutation in the compact vector summation problem (this fact was first noted by Mackay). The algorithm reduces the permutations algorithm to a simpler sign algorithm; This idea is used in scheduling theory. Shortly: - In the fundamental problems: we proved a number of new maximal inequalities, which are used in the problems of the convergence of Fourier series (the long unsolved hypothesis of Kolmogorov-Garcia and Ulyanov's problem), as well as in the traditional problem of characterizing the set of sums of conditional series in a normed space. - In Applications: We improved the algorithm for finding the near-best rearrangement in the compact vector summation problem. Our method, which is based on the transference inequality [S.Chobanyan and G.Giorgobiani, Lecture Notes in Math., 1391, 1989, 33-46], has already found many applications in scheduling theory, machine learning, pattern recognition and discrepancy theory. The results are reflected in 7 scientific articles and 1 monograph published in international scientific refereed journals: 1. S. Chobanyan, G. Giorgobiani, V. Kvaratskhelia, S. Levental, V.

#609531 | Knowledge Transfer Community to bridge the gap between research, innovation and business creation (NoGAP) | FP7. FP7-INCO-2013-9 | European Union | - | 2013-2016 | D. Chiran | G. Giorgobiani (and others) | NoGAP bridges the gap between research and innovation and contributes to taking advantage of the innovation potential of SMEs based on a better cooperation with researchers, transferring and using knowledge resulting from research. The overall objective of the project is to reinforce cooperation with Eastern Partnership countries to develop a “Common Knowledge and Innovation Space” on societal challenge ”secure, clean and efficient energy”. The NoGAP consortium is composed of 13 organizations from 6 countries of which 3 are EU members (Germany, Romania, Slovakia) and 3 are members of the Eastern Partnership (Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia). In order to improve mobility between research, business and innovation, interrelated tandem relations between research organizations and innovation support services are established. | In order to stay competitive and to keep a leading role at world level, the European Union (EU) has developed a strong and coherent international science and technology policy. The integration of the neighbouring countries of the EU into the European Research Area and their possible association to Horizon 2020 is a prominent objective in this respect. NoGAP addresses this global vision by targeting selected Eastern Partnership Countries (EPC). The overall objective of the project is therefore to reinforce cooperation with Eastern Partnership countries to develop a “Common Knowledge and Innovation Space” on societal challenge ”secure, clean and efficient energy”. The NoGAP consortium is composed of 13 organizations from six countries of which three are EU members (Germany, Romania, Slovakia) and three are members of the Eastern Partnership (Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia). In order to improve mobility between research, business and innovation, interrelated tandem relations between research organizations and innovation support services are established. Within the NoGAP project we aspired to: • identify the main drivers and obstacles of closer links between academia and the market in the field of secure, clean and efficient energy in the Eastern Partnership Region, • develop a best practice methodology to enhance successful commercialization of research results and to improve the management of these results; • develop innovation support services to foster existing and establish new strategic partnerships; • assess the opportunities for the establishment of sustainable Technology Transfer Centres (TTC) in the participating partner countries on the basis of existing structures and good practice, • improve the competencies of researchers, entrepreneurs and multiplicators by organizing trainings; • develop a list of pilot activities to foster mutually beneficial public-private-partnerships between EU and Eastern Partnership countries in the energy sector; • create and organize twinning sessions between the regions, • promote networking between EU and Eastern Partnership countries. Indeed, NoGAP was an efficient instrument to bridge the gap between research and innovation. The current EU research and innovation programme Horizon 2020 in combination with the EPC sets the frame for closer collaboration with the neighbours in research and innovation, especially in the field of societal challenges. It opens the door for their stronger participation and will be the main instrument for implementing the EU international research and innovation cooperation actions. The focus in the countries covered by the EPC will be on fostering integration into the European Research Area, including through their possible association to Horizon 2020. For these countries, our project contributed significantly to developing a “Common Knowledge and Innovation Space”, including improving the research and innovation competences of the EPC. NoGAP developed between the consortium members and the other stakeholders, involved in or informed about the project, a systematic and much stronger interaction between research and innovation. This comprises better alignment with the international cooperation priorities of actors such as industry, universities and research organizations, but also with the priorities of the Joint Programming initiatives, European Platforms and European Innovation Partnerships. Project Context and Objectives: In order to stay competitive and to keep a leading role at world level, the European Union (EU) has developed a strong and coherent international science and technology policy. The integration of the neighbouring countries of the EU into the European Research Area and their possible association to Horizon 2020 is a prominent objective in this respect. NoGAP addresses this global vision by targeting selected Eastern Partnership Countries (EPC). It aims at creating a common “Knowledge Transfer Community to bridge the gap between research, innovation and business creation”. As such, the project strives to foster a systematic and strong interaction between research and innovation partners from EU and EPC. Its aim is to build sustainable innovation partnerships between actors from all steps of the value chain in both regions in order to develop effective instruments for successful technology transfer and innovation (I&TT). The NoGAP consortium is composed of 13 organizations from 6 countries of which 3 are EU members (Germany, Romania, Slovakia) and 3 are members of the Eastern Partnership (Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia). Within the NoGAP project we wanted to: • identify the main drivers and obstacles of closer links between academia and the market in the field of secure, clean and efficient energy in the Eastern Partnership Region; • develop a best practice methodology to enhance successful commercialization of research results and to improve the management of these results; • develop innovation support services to foster existing and establish new strategic partnerships; • assess the opportunities for the establishment of sustainable Technology Transfer Centres (TTC) in the participating partner countries on the basis of existing structures and good practice, • improve the competencies of researchers, entrepreneurs and multiplicators by organizing trainings; • develop a list of pilot activities to foster mutually beneficial public-private-partnerships between EU and Eastern Partnership countries in the energy sector; • create and organize twinning sessions between the regions, • promote networking between EU and Eastern Partnership countries. | The overall objective of the project is to reinforce cooperation with Eastern Partnership countries to develop a “Common knowledge and innovation space” on societal challenge ”secure, clean and efficient energy”. The main S&T results will help the European Commission and other stakeholders to boost innovation & technology transfer within the Eastern Partnership Countries (EPC) as well as between these countries and the EU. 1. Identification of BOTTLENECKS & OPPORTUNITIES as regards innovation & technology transfer in the EPC between public research and industry in the societal challenge of secure, clean and efficient energy. These insights could be gained through a sophisticated survey in the six target countries. a) Unexperienced, uninformed stakeholders: almost half of the stakeholders in the societal challenge of secure, clean and efficient energy in the six EPC are not experienced in technology transfer; b) Unfavorable environment (lack of legislation, strategy, funding, education): The current ineffectiveness of cooperation and technology transfer in EPC seems to be due to two crucial problems. The lack of financing for projects and lack of legislation for innovation & technology transfer are the most virulent barriers to technology transfer. c) Poor interaction at all levels (national, regional, international): cooperation between public and private is perceived as poor by a great majority of respondents; only few interviewees participate in dual education programs; despite the fact that almost all organisations have staff speaking foreign languages, only 40% act at an international level; direct interaction seems to be missing between research and business as Internet is the dominant source of information for people interested in technology transfer; this backlog becomes particularly visible when it comes to clusters in EPC. 2. BEST PRACTICES METHODOLOGY Based upon the insights above and existent general knowledge, our project developed a best practice handbook in this context. This document looks at the relevance gap in the management of the knowledge transfer (KT) to the market. Its focus is the nature of the knowledge created by research at the interface between business and academia in the context of major changes likely to affect the nature of demand for such knowledge. Our identified best practices: - Knowledge transfer as a strategic mission of Public Research Organisations (PRO): Ensure that all PROs define knowledge transfer as a strategic mission. Plus: Green and White Papers on KT and IP Management: - Policies for managing intellectual property - Supporting PROs’ intellectual property policy and procedure development: Encourage public research organisations to establish and publicise policies and procedures for the management of intellectual property. - Improving knowledge transfer capacities and skills: Support the development of knowledge transfer capacity and skills in public research organisations, as well as measures to raise the awareness and skills of students - in particular in the area of science and technology - regarding intellectual property, knowledge transfer and entrepreneurship. - Promoting broad dissemination of knowledge while protecting intellectual property: Promote the broad dissemination of knowledge created with public funds, by taking steps to encourage open access to research results, while enabling, where appropriate, the related intellectual property to be protected. Moreover, it is necessary to plan, implement intellectual property policy, licensing/start-up policy, to consider the awareness of the importance of monitoring institutional performance and progress. - Facilitating transnational cooperation, research and KT: This also includes the globalisation of research collaboration and knowledge transfer. It is highly recommended to cooperate and take steps to improve the coherence of their respective ownership regimes as regards intellectual property rights in such a way as to facilitate crossborder collaborations and knowledge transfer in the field of research and development. - Introducing or adapting national KT guidelines and legislation: Use the principles outlined in this ecommendation as a basis for introducing or adapting national guidelines andlegislation. The harmonisation of intellectual property ownership may bring several benefits, such as easier collaborative research and the reduction of information and other transaction costs. - Improved monitoring of policy measures and KT performance: The list of best practices includes also that the necessary mechanisms should be put in place to monitor and review the progress made by national public research organisations in knowledge transfer activities, e.g. through annual reports of the individual public research organisations. 3. SERVICE DOCUMENTS Based upon the insights from the survey (see 1) and existent general knowledge, our project developed service documents, especially to respond to the backlog of uninformed and unskilled stakeholders. All service documents are available both in Russian and English language on the website of NoGAP. Besides, they were printed and distributed among stakeholders. - Handbook for services in IPR and Innovation Management: It emphasises the protection of inventions, trade marks and patents, the conflict between intellectual property rights and the principle of free movement and between the protection and enforcement of intellectual property and the need of technology transfer. - Handbook / Business Plan in Innovation Environment: It will help stakeholders to understand not only the importance of a properly prepared business plan but also the issues generated by mistakes and omissions, when starting a project, no matter of the nature (research or industry). - A brochure related to financing issues in Technology transfer and Innovation was prepared in order to help stakeholders to understand financing issues and to forecast the cash flow needed. - Another brochure related to technical assistance services related to market access (i.e. how to draw a technology offer and a technology request, an express of interest letter and a company profile) was prepared. - Handbook on on innovation and technology transfer adapted to the needs of three different target groups: -- researchers: the material that you are reading is aimed at covering the most important topics of interest for researchers, in order to stimulate the approach of the academic and economic environments for producing concrete results pertaining to the generation and use of renewable energy. Without the intention of being exhaustive, the training material tries to pinpoint the main topics and discuss upon their contribution towards successful endeavors. As a consequence, subjects such as the use and exploitation of knowledge, legal framework for technology transfer or licensing are discussed in a regional context, which is relevant for the participants. |

#266155 | Re-creation and building of capacities in Georgian ICT Research Institutes (GEO-RECAP) | FP7 - INCO. 2010-6.1: Eastern Europe and South Caucasus | European Union | 397719 EUR | 2010-2012 | G. Giorgobiani | G. Giorgobiani, V. Kvaratkhelia, Z. Sanikidze (and others) | The GEO-RECAP project is an EU FP7 funded INCO project which aims to re-create and build capacities in Georgian ICT Research Institutes. Modernization of research system is one of the most important issues in the country. Though the research institutes have its own profile and are highly specialized in particular research areas, diversification of the scientific fields imply the problems of management, difficulties to create synergies, etc. Mainstream of GEO-RECAP to improve the profile of ICT scientific institutes and to elaborate new funding models, in particular with regard to international programmes and projects is in line with the appropriate reforms in Georgia, where ICT is regarded as a national priority area. GEO-RECAP consortium includes two leading Georgian ICT research centers GTU-MICM and GTU-IC. They are supported by the European partners DFKI GmbH, GIRAF PM Services GmbH, GEIE ERCIM and the local partner ICARTI, which are distinguished and experienced organizations in their own fields of expertise. By bringing together research teams from ERA and Georgia, GEO-RECAP allows both sides to extend their knowledge and expertise in ICT. | Up to recently Georgia’s research system comprised 7 public universities and more than 60 research institutes. Research was carried out at the research institutes and at the universities. Universities additionally fulfilled the education and training function. The research institutes were established as legal entities of public law, each with its own profile and highly specialized in a particular research area. Diversification of the scientific fields at the institutes implied the problems of management. Moreover, it was very difficult for each individual institute to generate a significant impact on national, regional, or European and International level. Due to the conducted reforms, in the beginning of 2011 most of the research institutes joined the State Universities. According to this process MICM and IC merged to the Georgian Technical University (GTU), as independent structural units (ICT cluster). As part of the continuing reform of the research system, Georgia tries not only to improve the number and profile of its scientific research institutions but also to elaborate new funding models in particular with regard to International Programmes and projects. Hereby, the area of information and communication technologies (ICT) is considered the national priority area. Thus, supporting research in ICT will imply significant positive socio-economic effects and positive impacts. Due to the trend of consolidation and reorganization and an important role of ICT, GEO-RECAP consortium includes two leading Georgian research centers in this area - GTU-MICM and GTU-IC. Georgian researchers are supported by the European partners DFKI GmbH, GIRAF PM Services GmbH, GEIE ERCIM and the local partner ICARTI, which are distinguished and experienced organizations in their own fields of expertise such as: innovative software technologies, Informatics and Mathematics, training and consultancy etc. According to its central goal to initiate and increase scientific cooperation between the ERA and both GTU-MICM and GTU-IC, GEO-RECAP will systematically support Georgian institutes in the venture to enhance the cooperation capacities. The impact of the project on the Georgian ICT research community will be maximized as both centers will act as trend-setters with regard to international research cooperation. The strategy developed within GEO-RECAP directly contributes to the ongoing and wanted general reorganization. Considering that ICT is of central importance both to ERA and Georgia and that through GTU-MICM and GTU-IC Georgia offers leading ICT centers, GEO-RECAP will not only be beneficial to Georgia, but also to ERA: By bringing together research teams from ERA and Georgia, GEO-RECAP allows both sides to extend their knowledge and expertise in ICT, to minimize costs (through cooperation and collaboration) and to maximize outputs of the research activities. Overall, GEO-RECAP will implement a set of focused activities – networking, training and coaching, strategy development – in order to build and maximize the cooperation capacities of the Georgian research centers. Exceptionally, GEO-RECAP will be designed as a practical “training-on-the job” and supported “learning-by-doing” action that will empower the Georgian research centers and allow them not only to learn but also put into practice everything that is relevant to sustaining and actively integrating themselves into the international research community. In all their tasks, they will be guided, advised and directly supported by the respective European expert(s) and the local player ICARTI. Project pursues the following specific objectives: Objective O. 1: To conduct two networking events – one in Georgia and one in ERA. The events enable exchange and partnering between Georgian researchers and their matching European counterparts. DFKI’s and ERCIM' contacts and dissemination channels ensure the recruitment of best and most relevant top-level European experts. The main selection criteria are (i) research expertise that matches the research capacities and interests of GTU-MICM and GTU-IC, and (ii) capacity and experience to initiate a joint project. Networking events include: networking session, poster session, technical session. Objective O.2: To conduct two training workshops and to design the coaching scheme for Georgian researchers. The training workshops comprise science-related training to raise awareness among the participating Georgian researchers on EU ICT priority research areas and cooperative opportunities in FP7. They also include actual EU project training. The coaching scheme will allow a number of Georgian researchers to meet and directly work with suitable European partners for actual practice and implementation of joint projects. Basis for the mobility of researchers is a mobility scheme. Each mobility grant is intended to contribute to travel and subsistence costs for one participant of the networking event or the coaching scheme. The scheme includes an online submission tool on the project website. Evaluation and allocation of grants is done by the project steering committee. Objective O.3: Development of a sustainable strategy to increase the research centre’s regional coverage and to improve its response to the existing socio-economic conditions. Objective is based on the conduct of a SWOT analysis. The strategy will give clear recommendations as to how the institutes can change their structures with regard to links with other institutes/universities, innovation and links with industry. The required information will be obtained through interviews with GTU-MICM and GTU-IC directors, heads of departments and leaders of research groups. Based on the outcomes of this analysis, a corresponding strategy will be suggested to the Georgian research centers. The details of the SWOT analysis as well as the development strategy will be formally laid down in the Strategy papers. | WP1 – Networking: 1st Networking Event was held in Budapest, Hungary, in parallel with European Future Technologies Conference and Exhibition 2011 (fet11), 4-6 May.

The main goal of the implemented project was the development of effectively realizable computational schemes, their foundation and use for the numerical solution of a certain class of boundary value problems of the theory of complex variable functions. | The main goal of the project was the development of effectively realizable computational schemes, their foundation and use for the numerical solution of a certain class of boundary value problems of the theory of complex variable functions. Research in this direction was mainly based on the use of approximation of singular integrals of the Cauchy type and methods of so-called fundamental solutions. In the process of research, a fairly wide class of different types of boundary value problems from the theory of analytic, harmonic and biharmonic functions was considered. In the project, significant attention was also paid to the study of current problems of mathematical physics, quantum mechanics, the theory of elasticity and their approximate solution. | The following results were obtained by the project participants: - Constructive schemes of approximate calculation of Cauchy-type singular integrals with corresponding error estimation are built; - established criteria of resolution and convergence of obtained schemes; - obtained quadratic formulas of high accuracy for integrals of a special type; - for effectively solving problems in the theory of cracks, exact solutions in Cauchy-type integrals are obtained; - solved some plane and three-dimensional direct dynamic problems of the theory of elasticity; - an approximate process for the singular integral equation of Lippmann-Schwinger, known in quantum field theory, is built ; - with the help of conformal mapping, some boundary problems of the theory of harmonic functions, in the case of domains of different configurations, are solved; - the possibility of using the method of conformal mapping for the solution of some dynamic problems is explored; - for built approximation schemes, corresponding computational algorithms, with corresponding software, are compiled. The presented main results are realized in the form of 11 articles published in international refereed scientific journals and reports presented at 7 international scientific forums. |
GNSF/FT09_99_3-104 | Characterization Problems of Probability Distributions and their Applications | Fundamental Research Grants | Georgian National Science Foundation (GNSF) | 149250 GEL | 2009-2011 | V. Tarieladze | V. Kvaratskhelia (manager), N. Vakhania, B. Mamporia, G. Chelidze | The characterization problems posed in the project have the fundamental role for the Probability theory and Mathematical statistics. These problems are mainly solved for real random variables. The technique of the proofs of these results uses the highly developed methods of the theory of analytic functions which are not typical for probabilistic-statistical problems. The approach developed in our project to these problems is interesting from the following two points of view: a) it can give the possibility to prove the known results using the traditional methods of Probability theory and Mathematical statistics and b) by the same methods the new results can be obtained for complex and quaternion random variables. As the recent investigations show (see References of the Project), the characterization problems have wide applications for the research in ICA (Independent Component Analysis) models. It is to be mentioned that this direction is actual not only for real but also for complex and quaternion scalars. After obtaining Skitovich-Darmois’ and Polya’s theorems for quaternions it would be possible to consider quaternion linear models analogously to ICA complex models. Recent publications show that, subgaussian measures have a significant role not only in probabilistic-statistical problems but also, generally, in infinite dimensional linear analysis. The study of subgaussian measures in infinite dimensional linear spaces gives a new motivation for their applications in the theory of random processes and Functional analysis. The stochastic calculus created by K. Ito has a wide spectrum of applications. The infinite dimensional version of this calculus for general Banach spaces is not created yet. The approach to this problem proposed by the project can give a basis for the construction of unified theory of stochastic calculus in Banach spaces. | One of the goals of this project was the characterization of the Gaussian distribution, which has a long history. Purely probabilistic investigations in this direction were first conducted by well-known mathematicians D. Poya, M. Kats and S. Bernshtein. The culmination was V. Skitovich's result. At about the same time, the same result was obtained by G. Darmois, and this theorem is now called the Skitovich-Darmois theorem. The mentioned theorem was obtained using non-elementary and non-probabilistic methods of the theory of analytic functions. The project planned to investigate the quaternion versions of the Poya and Skitovich-Darmois theorems and obtain new results in this direction. The project also planned a study of the characterization problem for sub-Gaussian distributions given in the Banach space. The concept of sub-Gaussian distribution in infinite-dimensional vector spaces allows for several non-trivial generalizations. In particular, the natural generalization of this concept to the general Banach space leads to definitions of weak sub-Gaussianity, in Talagran's (T-subgaussian) and Fukuda's opinion (F-subgaussian) sense. One of the goals of the project was to study T-subgaussian and F-subgaussian random elements; description of the class of Banach spaces where the norm of a F-subgaussian random element is exponentially integrable. In addition, one of the tasks of the project was to find the necessary and sufficient conditions for T- gaussianity in the Hilbert space in terms of the Gaussian standard, and also to study the almost everywhere unconditional convergence of a series consisting of T-subgauss or F-subgauss random elements. Finally, the project envisaged the characterization and study of a special Gaussian process - a Wiener process with values in the Banach space on the basis of weak independence. The study of weak independence itself has practical value. It was planned to present Wiener processes in the weak sense as the sum of series consisting of weakly independent Gaussian random elements and to study the properties of its realization. In addition, one of the goals of the project was to study the existence of a stochastic integral when the integrand is a Gaussian or, more generally, a sub-Gaussian process. Along with this, further research of the existence of solutions of stochastic differential equations, study of linear stochastic equations and filtering problems were planned. In connection with the above-mentioned goals of the project, the following works were performed: 1. Taking into account theoretical and applied aspects, Poya's and Skitovich-Darmois theorems occupy a noteworthy place among the characterizations of Gaussian distribution. These theorems and the tasks related to them do not lose their relevance even today and many papers are written both in the direction of simplifying their proofs and their possible generalizations. Our group has made a certain contribution to this work and published the results in the high impact scientific journals. In the quaternion variant of Poya's theorem, interesting principal difficulties appear, some of which we were able to overcome in terms of covariance operators. We characterized joint quaternion systems. We gave a negative answer to the following natural question - does the analogue of Poya's theorem hold for quaternion Gaussian random variables in the case when the coefficient stands on the left with some random variables, and with others - on the right. In addition, we collected materials related to the Skitovich-Darmois theorem and quaternion random variables and began to study and analyze them. This provided us with significant help in proving an analogue of the Skitovich-Darmois theorem for quaternion random variables, which we proved for complex and quaternion random variables. The method of proof is original and is based on the analog of Poya's theorem we proved earlier for complex and quaternion random variables. 2. Subgaussian random variables occupy an important place from both theoretical and applied points of view. Random variables of this type were introduced by the famous French mathematician J.P. Kakhane in 1960 and a lot of works are devoted to their study. We considered in detail and studied the properties of sub-Gaussian random variables, analyzed the question of the existence of their moments and their alternative characterizations, obtained inequalities of the Khinchin type. We proved a number of results about the convergence of sub-Gaussian sequences and series. We proved the exponential integrability of T - and F-subgaussian random elements. 3. The conditions ensuring the representability of the generalized solution of the stochastic differential equation are obtained. Also, the solution of the linear stochastic differential equation using the corresponding Ito-type stochastic integral is obtained and given explicitly. Continuity of trajectories of stochastic processes with sub-Gaussian increments and existence of stochastic integral were proved. Representation similar to Karunen-Loev was obtained for the weak Wiener process. For weakly independent random elements in the Hilbert space, we proved the strong law of large numbers, which generalizes one of the results obtained by the famous Russian mathematician Khinchin in the twenties of the last century. | • The quaternion variant of Poya's theorem is proved; • We characterized jointly quaternion systems; • We gave a negative answer to the following question - is the analogue of Poya's theorem true for the quaternion Gaussian random variables in the case when the coefficient is on the left with some random variables, and with others - on the right; • We studied the properties of sub-Gaussian random variables, analyzed the existence of their moments and their alternative characterizations, obtained inequalities of the Khinchin type; • Some results on the convergence of sub-Gaussian sequences and series is proved; • The exponential integrability of T- and F-subgaussian random elements is proved; • The conditions ensuring the representability of the generalized solution of the stochastic differential equation are obtained; • The solution of the linear stochastic differential equation using the corresponding Ito-type stochastic integral is obtained and explicitly given; • Continuity of trajectories of stochastic processes with sub-Gaussian increments and the existence of stochastic integral were proved; • Representation, similar to Karunen-Loev was obtained for the weak Wiener process; • For weakly independent random elements in the Hilbert space, we proved the strong law of large numbers, which generalizes one of the results obtained by the famous Russian mathematician Khinchin. |
GNSF/ST08/3-384 | Maximum Inequalities for Rearrangements with Applications to Functional Analysis and Scheduling Theory | Fundamental Research Grants | Georgian National Science Foundation (GNSF) | - | 2009-2011 | S. Chobanyan | A. Shangua (manager), N. Vakhania, V. Kvaratskelia, G. Chelidze, V. Tarieladze, G. Giorgobiani | The project consists of five main problems: a) compact vector summation; b) Kolmogorov's hypothesis; c) description of the set of sums of a conditionally convergent series; d) problems about rearrangements and Cesaro summation; e) Application of the obtained results in scheduling theory. The basis of the project is the GNSF project GNSF/ST06/3-009, which ended in 2008. | The first maximal inequalities for vector summands and related compact vector summations were obtained in the works of Levy, 1905 and Steinitz, 1913. The problem can be formulated as follows: for a finite set of vectors in the normed space, find such a rearrangement π that will give a minimum to the radius R_π of the sphere containing all partial sums, that is, estimate the minimum of R_π with respect to the rearrangements. A comprehensive bibliography on these and related issues can be found in the monograph of M.I. Kadets and V.M. Kadets, 1997, and I. Halperin and Ts. Ando's Bibliographical Booklet, 1989. The technique for finding the minimizer π or evaluating R_π for the minimizer π is sometimes called compact vector summation. Among the well-known tasks of functional analysis, we can name at least two such, for the solution of which the method of compact vector summation is used. One of them is the description of the set of sums of conditionally convergent series in a topological vector space, which is the subject of Levi and Steinitz's pioneering works. The second problem, which is also closely related to compact vector summation, is the famous Kolmogorov conjecture (so far unsolved) about systems of convergence for the rearrangements of orthonormal systems. In the late 80s we found a new approach to the problem of compact vector summation, which allows us to obtain both old, well-known and new maximal inequalities in a simple way. This method is effective for both finite and infinite dimensions. This method gave us the opportunity to find general conditions for the set of sums of conditionally convergent series in locally bounded and locally convex vector spaces to be linear and closed (Chobanyan and Giorgobiani, 1991, Chobanyan, 1994, Chasko and Chobanyan, 1997). These results combine all known results on the linearity of sum sets. Furthermore, the functional variant of our maximal inequality allowed us to prove in an elementary way two well-known results of Garcia (Garcia, 1970) about the almost everywhere convergence of rearranged orthogonal series. In the grant project GNSF/ST06/3-009 we have obtained a general functional maximum inequality that can lead to the validity of the Kolmogorov hypothesis under some restrictions on an orthonormal system or/and for a (quite rich) set of coefficients. The next interesting direction in the use of rearrangements of vector summands is the study of the of rearrangement Banach-Sachs property of the Banach space. This is dictated by such related ideas as of rearrangement Cesaro summability or, in the language of probability, of rearrangement law of large numbers (Shangua, Tarieladze, 2006). Our maximal inequality not only proves the existence of the desired π, but also gives us an algorithmic way to find it. An appropriate algorithm is important in problems of scheduling theory (Makai, 2004, Chobanian et al. 2006). Many other applied problems that reduce to the minimization of π are discussed in the seminal work of Sevastianov, 1994. In this project, we plan to conduct the following studies: in maximal inequalities: finding new forms of of rearrangement maximal inequalities in function spaces; For the Kolmogorov hypothesis: finding the maximal inequality corresponding to a finite orthonormal system and proving the Kolmogorov hypothesis for particular orthonormal systems and sets of coefficients; use our maximum inequality to implement the Garcia program, 1970: For orthogonal systems, transfer Zigmund’s sign maximal inequalities to rearrangements; to develop the idea of Cesaro rearrangement summability in Banach space and the Banach-Sachs property; to find new possibilities of using the rearrangement maximal inequality in scheduling theory; create software for the algorithm of Chobanyan, 2006; Volume calendar scheduling and Johnson problems of scheduling theory: reduce these problems to the minimization problem of π; Optimal and "Greedy" Algorithms for the permutations: how often is a "Greedy" algorithm close to optimal? Is a "greedy" algorithm always optimal in scheduling theory? If not, then build counterexamples. Use computer modeling if the theory turns out to be difficult. | 18 papers were published: 1. A.

The inequality enables to extend the general result to p-th order random variables, as well as to the case of Banach-space-valued random variables [2]. - For any sequence of random variables, maximal inequalities from which we can derive conditions for the a.s. convergence to zero of the normalized differences is obtained. In the special case of quasistationary sequences, we obtain a sufficient condition for the SLLN; this condition is an improvement on the well-known Móricz conditions [3]; Characterizations of the class of Banach spaces isomorphing to the space $c_0$, as well as to the class of Banach spaces not containing $l_\infty^n$'s uniformly, are obtained in terms of almost surely unconditional convergence of weakly sub-Gaussian random series. Under almost surely unconditional convergence of random series, convergence of all permutations on the same set of full probability is understood. The questions of almost surely unconditional and weak absolute convergence in the spaces isomorphing to $c_0$ are investigated as well. 1. S. Chobanyan, S. Levental, H. Salehi .

Ninidze | For some boundary value problems and some types of equations of the theory of functions, the issues of constructing numerical schemes are studied. | In the project's boundaries: - Numerical schemes of the type of discrete singularities have been developed and investigated for one class of singular integral equations, to which some important problems of the theory of analytic functions are reduced. The corresponding application with numerical realizatation is given; - Theoretical issues of using non-linear equations (for ordinary and in partial derivatives) in field theory have been developed. In this direction, both these equations and their algebraically adjoint equations are described. The results obtained, in particular, give some theoretical characterization of the existence of a charge; - Numerical schemes for the Dirichlet problem based on the method of fundamental solutions are contructed and realized; - In the case of binary mixtures, expressions for the components of stresses and displacements are constructed in an explicit form; - For non-canonical domains of a certain class (with rectilinear and arcuate cuts), some boundary value problems of the theory of analytic functions are studied. Solutions are constructed explicitly in Cauchy-type integrals; - The problems of deformation of elastic shells, for the case when the equilibrium equations are represented by parameters describing the deformed state of the shells, are considered and investigated; - The contact problem of the interaction of two rigid stamps (as well as a system of stamps) of an elastic half-plane are studied. The solution in cases of different stamp bases is given with the help of integrals of Cauchy type and singular integrals of the same type. Numerical results (software and computer realizatation) are obtained on the basis of the corresponding quadratic formulas. | The results are published in the following papers: - Sanikidze J.G., Mirianashvili M.G.

1.21.02 | Generalized spline algorithms and their construction for ill-posed problems | Grant of The Georgian National Academy of Sciences | Georgian National Academy of Sciences | - | 01. 2002 – 12. 2003 | D. Zarnadze | - | Approximate solutions of problems such that approximate solutions are sought in the form of the best approximation element (Best approximate solution) in a finite-dimensional subspace or in a finite-codimensional subspace by means of the best approximation element are studed. In classical cases, such are the methods of least squares and Ritz, where we look for approximate solutions in finite-dimensional subspaces, and in the case of spline algorithms in a finite-dimensional subspace by means of the best approximation element. | The concept of generalized spline algorithm and generalized central algorithm are introduced and such algorithms for various tasks are studied. Namely, in order to construct a generalized spline algorithm, it is necessary to prove the existence of a strong best approximation element in a finite-dimensional subspace of the Frechet space, that is, strong proximity of such subspaces. Also, in order to build a generalized central algorithm, it is necessary that this subspace has an orthogonal complement. Such problems are studied in the space of differentiable locally square integrable functions. In particular, the existence of a generalized spline algorithm for various equations in the Frechet space is proved. For example, for the equation Au=f, where A: H -> H is a self-adjoint and positive definite operator equation in the Hilbert space H with a pure point spectrum, it is shown that for reduction of this equation in the Frechet space D(A^{\infty}) the extended Ritz method and a generalized spline algorithm gives the same result, and such an algorithm is generalized central. A generalized central algorithm is also constructed for non-correct self-adjoint and positive definite compact operator equations in Hilbert space H with a pure point spectrum and for such equations that admit singular decomposition. | Submitted for publication the article: D.

1.22.02 | Matrix representation of Clifford algebras and its applications | Grant of The Georgian National Academy of Sciences | Georgian National Academy of Sciences | - | 01. 2003 – 12. 2003 | N. Kandelaki | D. Ugulava, T. Chantladze | As it is known, Clifford algebras represent a functor from the category of quadratic forms in the category of associative algebras, thus, they are successfully used in algebraic topology, in particular in the construction of the K-functor. In the 80-90s of the last century, academician N. Under Vakhania's initiative and leadership, the foundation was laid for the direct and direct study and application of Clifford algebras in the classification and description of symmetric distributions in functional spaces, in particular in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, and important results were obtained in this direction - Gaussian distributions with respect to complex and quaternion symmetries were fully analyzed. The topic is dedicated to exploring these issues even more deeply. | The matrix representations of Clifford algebras in the algebras of Hilbert space operators turned out to be determinant. The study of Gaussian invariant measures of even higher order requires the justification that the operators with respect to which the mentioned distributions are invariant are the generators of Clifford algebras. This issue has been successfully resolved in the presented project. The advantage of the obtained matrix representations is that their structure and construction is clearly visible by means of orthogonal operators in the infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. This was done in 2002. In particular, matrix representations of Clifford algebras corresponding to quadratic forms for finite and infinite-dimensional modules, for those rings whose characteristic is not equal to 2, were given constructively. The use of constructed representations in relation to the study of symmetries was considered. Gaussian random vectors with values in the separable Hilbert space that satisfy various symmetry conditions are systematically studied. In the study of the problem, the matrix presentations obtained in the previous year played a very important role. For example, it turns out that complex Gaussian random vectors are naturally related to the well-known Dirichlet L-series. It is also very interesting to discuss high-order symmetries in this relation, which is an independent research object in itself. | 1. D.Ugulava, N. Kandelaki, T. Chantladze.

1.24.02 | Descriptive theory of Denjoy's n-fold integral | Grant of The Georgian National Academy of Sciences | Georgian National Academy of Sciences | - | 01. 2002 – 12. 2003 | - | It is well known that the Denjoy -Khinchin theorem is of fundamental importance for Denjoy's simple area integral, which asserts that a measure function, which is a VBG-function on some set, is approximatively differentiable almost everywhere on this set (see S. Saks, Theory of Integral. IIL, Moscow , 1949, p. 321). Then it is proved that any function which is an ACG-function on a set E is also a VBG-function on this set. Therefore, according to the Denjoy-Khinchin theorem, any function that is an ACG-function on a measurable set is approximatively differentiable almost everywhere on this set. This theorem is the key to the descriptive theory of Denjoy wide integral. | We have introduced the concept of VBG-function for the function of n-variable and proved a complete analogue of the Danjoy-Khinchin theorem for the function of n-variable. It is then proved that every n-variable ACG-function on some set is also a VBG-function on that set. Therefore, every measurable function of n-variable that is an ACG-function on a set E is approximatively differentiable almost everywhere on this set. Then a theorem is proved, which gives us a criterion for the given function to belong to the ACG class. It follows from this theorem that a continuous function that is approximatively differentiable at all points of an n-dimensional segment, except possibly for points located on a countable number of lines parallel to the coordinate axes, necessarily represents the Denjoy n-fold indefinite integral of its approximatively derivative. A function f of an n-variable is called integrable on an n-dimensional segment I in the broad sense of Denjoy, if there exists such an ACG-function F that the approximative derivative of the function F is equal to the function F almost everywhere on the n-dimensional segment I. Thus, Denjoy space integral completely solves the issue of restoring the primitive function according to its approximative derivative. | 1. Goguadze D.F. About the notion of semiring of sets. Math.

Goguadze | - | It is proved that Denjoy's n-fold wide integral is a transfinite extension of Lebesgue's n-fold integral using transfinite numbers of the second class. | Some problems of construction of open and closed sets in Euclidean space are studied. In particular, new properties of closed sets are established. Namely, the concept of the smallest n-dimensional segment containing a closed set is introduced. Based on the studied properties, the theory of the abstract integral of the given function on the n-dimensional segment is built. In addition, the transfinite extension of the considered abstract integral using transfinite numbers of the second class is studied. It is proved that the n-fold Lebesgue integral is a special case of the constructed abstract integral. Thus, Denjoy's n-fold wide integral is a transfinite extension of Lebesgue's n-fold integral using transfinite numbers of the second class. | 1. D. Goguadze.

Giorgobiani, G. Kasradze, A. Toronjadze, Nachkebia M. | An approximate method for finding optimal strategies for some classes of infinite games is developed. Problems of finding an unconditional minimum are discussed. | Approximate method for finding optimal strategies for some classes of infinite games are developed. The dynamic programming method is used for the game of selecting several moments of time. To calculate the value of the profit function of this game, a recurrence relation is drawn. The general method for determining the optimal strategies is known, but the approximate method proposed by us for finding the value of the profit function is an effective tool for this type of tasks (we have in mind multi-step games). The discussed tasks of finding the unconditional minimum belong to the so-called SC-1 class, i.e. the class of convex problems for which the gradient of the objective function is semi-smooth but non-differentiable. The setting of parameters for solving such problems with predetermined accuracy is based on two estimates: first, the method of complex gradients converges at the rate of geometric progression, with the common ratio q=(k-1)/(k+1) , where k is the square root of the conditioning number. The second, convergence of the same method is an n-step square convergence, where n is the dimension of the problem, i.e. n-step of conjucate gradients is equal to 1-step of Newton's method. The process is realized in the Matlab environment. | 1. Toronjadze A., Kipshidze Z., Ananiashvili G., Zhuzhunashvili A. Application of Game theiry to a stock market model. Bull. Georgian Acad.

Chelidze | Laws of large numbers and stochastic equations in infinite-dimensional spaces are considered. | The characterization of spaces with finite cotype is obtained by use of almost everywhere unconditionally convergent series of weakly sub-Gaussian random elements. In the reporting year, the properties of convergence in measure related to the rearrangements were studied. Several analogs of the Banach-Sachs property have been defined using rearrangements instead of subsequences. After clarifying the relationship between Banach-Sachs ""subsequences"" and "" rearrangements"" properties, it was shown that through one of the proposed properties it is possible to characterize reflexive Banach spaces. The strong law of large numbers was derived under sufficiently general conditions. The unconditional convergence of weakly sub-Gaussian series in the Banach space was also studied. | 1.

1.18.04 | Development of Numerical Methods for Solving Problems of Certain Classes of Operations Research and Mathematical Economics | Grant of The Georgian National Academy of Sciences | Georgian National Academy of Sciences | - | 2004 - 2005 | J. Giorgobiani | Nachkebia M., Nikoleishvili M. | The modification of the mixed gradients method for the convex programming (non-quadratic) problem is discussed; A problem of optimal inventory control theory for multichannel random flows. For the records of plant species, the unified format of the status fields has been studied and established, the dendroflora species conservation base of Tbilisi streets and squares has been created and processed. The issue of solving two different classes of continuous games was studied. A general model of coordination of economic sectors of the states has been elaborated. A mathematical model has been created for the joint optimal functioning of energy systems of neighboring states. | A modification of the conjugated gradient method for the convex programming (non-quadratic) problem was considered. In the developed method, the initial step is not necessarily equal to the antigradient, and in the case of a variable conditioning operator, the process converges at the rate of geometric progression. A problem of optimal inventory control theory for multi-channel random flows when demands are predictable is formulated. A practical analogy of the model is a regional energy system (it can be a single country or a union of neighboring countries). The model belongs to the task of mathematical programming. In comparison with the previously developed model, the issue of energy accumulation and the differentiation of base and peak energy are introduced here. The criterion of optimality is the maximum of the total profit. At the expense of a slight violation of the adequacy of the model to reality, we approach the problem of linear programming. A unified format of status fields has been studied and determined for the records of plant species in the database. The research was carried out on the basis of information reflecting the status and applied values of plant species in the characteristic information. The format includes information on the species' relictness, extinction, rarity, endodomy, medical use, ornamentality, human consumption, technicality, agricultural use and economics. The issue of solving two different classes of continuous (so-called duel type and generalized market) games was studied. The methods of their solution are elaborated, which are based on the principle of dynamic programming (in the first case) and the calculation of components of the Shapley vector (in the case of the second game). A general model of coordination of the economic sectors of the states has been elaborated, taking into account the prospects of development and expected economic conflicts. This last nuance leads to the inclusion of elements of game theory in the model. In cooperation with the Institute of Energy, a mathematical model was created for the joint optimal functioning of energy systems of neighboring states. This model is practically calculated for the energy system of Georgia. The dendroflora species conservation database of Tbilisi streets and squares was created and processed, which is a prerequisite for the creation of an extensive information system that reflects the variety of plants in Tbilisi streets and squares for the purpose of assessing and maintaining (conservation) their current condition. The employees of Muskhelishvili Institute of Computational Mathematics, Dekanosidze, D. Chaligava, E. Chakhunashvili, took part in the implementation of the mentioned work along with the main performers of the grant topic and the representatives of the Tbilisi Botanical Garden. | 1.
