Description

The linear quadratic differential game models are a priority field both for the project promoter (University of Sofia) and the donor project partner (NTNU). They are a modern and effective tool for analysis of equilibrium states with wide applications in economic and engineering sciences. The project is needed in order to provide new knowledge in the field of research and to produce new teaching models including using ICT. The main task of the project is research related to finding a state of equilibrium of a system of Riccati generic equations and systems of Riccati equations. The main outcomes from this research will be presented on 6 scientific conferences and published in joint research papers. Sustainability of the research outcomes is related to elaboration of a joint course of lectures for doctoral candidates. This activity aims to improve the competences of the academic staff and to strengthen the bilateral cooperation between the University of Sofia and the NTNU. The course is scheduled for May 2016. Lecture materials and new teaching models, including using ICT will be developed. Each project team member with research functions will participate in at least 1 scientific conference and present the project results in joint research papers. The target groups who benefit from the project are doctoral candidates, academic and research staff of the both universities, and the international research society in general. Donor project partner will provide research expertise in the project research field and will participate in joint activities, including teaching doctoral candidates, preparation of joint research papers, and development of new teaching models. The partnership will strengthen the cooperation between the both universities and will produce new knowledge in the research field with numerous applications.
