  • A review of the adiabatic mode for tilting ratchets. Implicit formulas have been obtained for the speed of the adiabatic migration of animals, fish or bacteria and the directions of their migration. It has been demonstrated that a longer range of the monotonicity of the potential defines the specific direction of migration. The result is based on a new nontrivial functional inequality. We have also studied the semiadiabatic mode for tilting ratchets, when the aggregate period of inclination tends to infinity and one of the states of inclination prevails over the other. We have obtained an explicit formula for the rate of semiadiabatic transfer and proven that if the potentials are nonconstant, semiadiabatic migration of animals, fish and bacteria occurs in the same direction. These results are in part based on one more functional inequality. For Brownian ratchets of arbitrary type with weak diffusion we have demonstrated that there is a connection between the transfer and some ordinary differential equation. If this ordinary differential equation does not have periodic solutions or, in other words, if its rotation number is not zero, an unidirectional flow of migration of animals, fish or bacteria emerges there, even though the average force is not zero.
  • We have conducted field measurements of internal waves in August-September 2019 on the marine experimental station «Cape Schultz» of the V. I.

A comparative analysis of the obtained experimental data and the results of a numerical modeling has been conducted.
  • A research of the structure of the solutions and the solvability of the boundary value problem describing nonlinear waves in flows of continuously stratified fluid over an obstacle. On the basis of the model of weakly coupled Korteweg–de Vries equations  we have investigated the interaction of entangled traveling waves. We have built solutions of a number of reverse problems of the reproduction of the structure of nonlinear packages of internal waves. We have reconstructed the temperature fields and the boundaries of layers during the passage of a near-surface solitary wave and a tidal bore. We have conducted the verification of the built model by comparing it with experimental data collected not only at the marine experimental station «Cape Schultz» of the V. I. Il'ichev Pacific Oceanological Institute of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences but also with experimental data collected in the South China Sea (Lien, Henyey, Ma and Yang, 2004).
  • A definition of the theorem on the existence and uniqueness of a strong solution of the initial-boundary value problem for a system of equations of the motion of a viscoelastic fluid  that is a fractional counterpart of the Voigt viscoelasticity model  with memory along the spatial variable in the planar case. For a model of a thermo-viscoelastic medium of the Oldroyd type with memory along the trajectories of the motion we have determined weak solubility. In this case for the existence of trajectories of motion ensuring the memory of the medium we used the theory of regular Lagrange flows. A new method has been developed on the basis of the properties degenerate pseudo-differential operators built on a special integral transformation. On the basis of this method we researched new classes of pseudo-differential operators that allow to research the correctness of mathematical models of thermo-viscoelasticity  containing initial-boundary value and boundary value problwma for degenerate elliptical and  parabolic equations.

  • We have studied problems of rotationally symmetric flows in a bounded volume of a gas for all the values of the adiabat greater or equal than one. It has been proven that the matrix of concentrations is centered on the rotation axis. Moreover, it has been established that it has a unique non-zero element that lies on the diagonal and corresponds to the direction along the axis of symmetry OZ. The measure corresponding to this non-zero element is the product of a constant and the measure of length dz. In other words, the matrix of concentrations has only one non-zero element that is a Dirac measure concentrated on the axis of symmetry. It has also been demonstrated that the concentrations are absent in the case of axisymmetric solutions.

  • Obtaining a formula for the monotonicity for the energy tensor for the problem of rotational symmetric flows of a viscous gas with the limiting value of the adiabatic indicator that equals to 1. It has been proven that outside of the axis of rotation the function of density allows for an estimate in the negative Sobolev space with an indicator of -1/2 that depends only on the data of the problem. We have proven the  existence of a weak solution defined outside of the rotation axis. It has been demonstrated that the concentration of the kinetic energy tensor is a symmetric and non-negative matrix Borel measure concentrated on the axis of rotation. It has been demonstrated that the matrix of the concentrations can have only one nontrivial component. We have proven that the time-averaging of the matrices of concentrations is completely continuous on the axis of rotation and its density is semicontinuous on the top.
