Ellipsoidal Calculus, Singular Perturbations and the State Estimation Problems for Uncertain Systems

One of the basic elements of dynamic modelling of complex systems is the linkage and synchronization of subsystems that develop in different time scales. The relevant techniques applied here are related to a singular perturbation theory for differential systems. A more complicated issue arises for uncertain systems described by differential inclusions, for which an appropriate theory is being developed. In order to make the theory constructive, some further steps are necessary. These are presented in this paper, where a computer-implementable "ellipsoidal" version is given. The results are particularly relevant to the linkage of models related to environmental, demographic and economic problems

Developing model of mass-exchange processes in porous bodies on example of iron-ore pellets oxidation process

There is developed a model of magnetite oxidation in agglomeration of iron-ore pellets. Unlike the oxidation models proposed before, this model considers the porous structure of a pellet: the surface and the distribution of pores by sizes. The process of magnetite oxidation is considered as three-unit: diffusion by pores, diffusion through products of oxidation and proper chemical reaction. The model considers various limiting steps at different stages of the process. There were carried out pilot studies on the basis of SSMCC pellets for confirming the correctness of the proposed model. This model can be used in a broader aspect: for the description of the process of chemical reaction in polyporous bodies

Analysis of financial risks as an important stage in the formation of financial strategy of the company

This paper deals with the analysis of the problems of the formation of financial strategy, subject to the need to ensure the growth of shareholder value of a company, considering the benefits of the company in comparison to its competitors, the analysis of alternative development of the company, and the influence of the uncertainty on the implementation of goals achieved. Strategic risk management is considered as an integral part of the financial strategy. The proposed methodology will ensure implementation of a long-term goal of the company in terms of growth of shareholder value.The authors have presented a range of relative indicators characterizing the risks of decrease in liquidity and mobility, loss of solvency, deterioration of financial stability and decrease in profitability. As the resulting indicators reflecting the changes in the value of the company, the following three were used: MBR1, MBR2, EVA. To determine the composition of the key indicators of internal financial risks, we conducted a correlationregression analysis to identify the closeness and type of relation between the relative and the resulting indicators in GRETL environment. Based on the results of the statistical analysis, five key indicators of financial risks were defined, reflecting the mobility, financial stability and profitability. During econometric modeling, the recommended values of key risk indicators were calculated on the basis of the zonal method of risk assessment. The companies can use this methodology within the framework of the formation and implementation of financial strategies for finding a compromise in the field of financial security and the value increase

Internet use for educational purposes: Evidence from Russia

© 2015, Mediterranean Center of Social and Educational Research. All rights reserved. The study sets out to examine empirically the use of Internet in education process in Russia. Socio-demographic determinants of use of Internet for educational purposes, to obtain reference information or to learn the news are studied. The sample represents entire population of Russia. Significant age and gender differences in Internet use for educational purposes are discovered. Influence of satisfaction with financial status on Internet use is weak, while it is the education level of respondents which acts as the most powerful determinant of Internet use for educational purposes

Risk-oriented technique of real investments management: Consepts

© 2014, Mediterranean Center of Social and Educational Research. All rights reserved. One of the main objectives of real investment management is increasing in company’s revenues and market value. Long time lag of income from investments, the scale of investments, and a high level of uncertainty in their implementation makes the questions of project risk management actual. We focused on systematization of methods to measure, report and manage project risks. The paper suggests the concepts of risk-oriented methodology of project risk management. We assumed similar results ranking of investment projects in terms of risks, using Monte Carlo simulation and the fuzzy sets theory for risk assessment. In this study, was formed the empirical base, including investment projects of Russian pharmaceutical companies. The obtained results confirmed our hypothesis
