Research Groups

The following research groups within the NDRC will conduct fundamental and applied research in the respective subject areas:

1- Mathematical Modelling and Simulation Group (MMSG):


Mathematical Modelling is the art of using mathematics to describe natural processes. Simulation solves the mathematical models thus developed using computers to make quantitative predictions. In the Mathematical Modelling and Simulation Group (MMSG), we focus on fundamental research in the latest mathematical models, and mathematical and computational techniques to quantitatively analyse and understand in depth problems in science and engineering. Collaboration is developed with the well-established universities and institutes worldwide as well as with industrial corporations worldwide.

 

2- Nonlinear Circuits and Systems (NonCiSys) Research Group:

The NonCiSys research group is dedicated to exploring cutting-edge developments, breakthroughs, and innovative applications within the realm of nonlinear circuits and systems. The group places special emphasis on various research areas, including memristor-based circuits, nonlinear oscillators, circuits for artificial intelligence and machine learning, chaos-based applications, and advanced nonlinear signal processing techniques.

 

 3- Novel numerical methods for handling linear and nonlinear initial value problems:

The research group specializes in developing innovative numerical methods tailored for the resolution of both linear and nonlinear initial value problems. Their work focuses on advancing computational techniques to enhance accuracy and efficiency in solving mathematical models, spanning various domains. With a commitment to novel approaches, the group aims to contribute to the evolution of numerical solutions for a wide range of scientific and engineering applications.

 

4-  Computational Modeling and Scientific Simulation (CMSS)

The Computational Modeling and Scientific Simulation (CMSS) group focuses on developing advanced mathematical models and computational techniques to simulate complex systems across various scientific disciplines. Our research encompasses the design and implementation of numerical algorithms, computational methods, and simulation frameworks to address real-world challenges in physics, engineering, biology, and beyond. By integrating theoretical insights with practical applications, we aim to advance the field of computational and numerical methods through innovative algorithms, high-performance computing, and rigorous numerical analysis, ultimately achieving impactful research outcomes.

 

5- Nonlinear Dynamics and Control  Research Group:

 (NDCRG)

This is an interdisciplinary research group. The main goal of the group is to carry out research in 

theoretical and practical aspects in the area of nonlinear dynamics and control. The specific areas of interest are:

 

  • nonlinear dynamical systems
  • behavioral systems and convolutional codes
  • calculus of variations
  • fractional calculus
  • special functions
  • optimal control and its applications to epidemiological models
  • time scales calculus

NDRC Activities

  • International Conference on Fractional Differentiation and Its Applications,  (ICFDA 2023)

Description

The ICFDA’23 International Conference on Fractional Differentiation and its Applications is a specialized conference on fractional-order calculus and its applications. It is a generalization of the integer-order ones. The fractional-order differentiation of arbitrary orders takes into account the memory effect of most systems. The order of the derivatives may also be variable, distributed or complex. Recently, fractional-order calculus became a more accurate tool to describe systems in various fields in mathematics, biology, chemistry, medicine, mechanics, electricity, control theory, economics, and signal and image processing.
