Dr. N.N. Verichev specializes in the field of the qualitative theory of dynamical systems, oscillation theory, nonlinear dynamics, dynamic chaos, and chaotic synchronization. He has discovered the effect of chaotic synchronization of nonidentical systems (1985).

Dr.S.N. Verichev graduated from Nizhny Novgorod State University in 1998 (M.Sc. in Physics), got his Ph.D. degree in TU Delft (2002), and has 18 years of international R&D experience in nonlinear dynamics as well as such practical fields as dredging and mining, oil & gas, civil and mechanical engineering, and deep-sea mining.

Prof. V.I. Erofeev got his Ph.D./Dr. Habil. degrees in Nizhny Novgorod State University (1986, 1994). He has proposed new methods of nondestructive testing of materials and structures, developed scientific foundations of vibration protection systems for machines and structures using inertia and dissipation of rheological media, and performed a series of studies on the chaotic dynamics of mechanical systems with energy sources of limited power, as well as on the existence and stability of stationary cluster structures in homogeneous chains of dissipative coupled rotators.

Summarizes the results of analytical studies on dynamical chaos, synchronization, and dynamic structures in systems of coupled rotators

Focuses on the dynamics of systems with a cylindrical phase space, also referred to as rotators

Covers autonomous and nonautonomous systems with one, one-and-a-half, and two or more degrees of freedom

Presents a classification system for dynamic structures that can arise in systems with a large number of interconnected objects
