History

Formation of personnel of future Department of integral and differential equations began in late 1944. Officially it appears in the 1945 - 1946 academic year under the title "Department of integrating differential equations." The first of its faculty members were professors and G.V.Pfeiffer Y.Z.Shtokalo, docents K.Ya.Latysheva and L.M.Gratsianska, senior lecturer F.S.Gudymenko.

Lead for the department was entrusted to Academician of the AS USSR, a member of Moscow, Berlin and French Mathematical Society G.V.Pfeiffer (1872 - 1946). The main results of his research concerned the development of general methods of integrating differential equations with partial derivatives.

G.V.Pfeyffers’ successor as head in 1946 became Y.Z. Shtokalo (1897 - 1987). He started a career at Kiev University in December 1944. Y.Z.Shtokalo was a head of Department until December 1970 with a break in 1952 - 1956's, when he worked in Lviv as chairman of the Presidium of the AS USSR institutions.

Scientific direction concerned with analytical theory of differential equations within Department was initiated in 1946 by K.Ya. Latysheva (1897 - 1956) – a student of Academician M.P.Kravchuk. From 1953 to 1956 he headed the Department of differential equations. She was the first among female mathematicians from Ukraine who was awarded the title of professor. From 1952 to 1954 K.Ya.Latyshev served as Dean of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics.

The direction associated with the development of mathematical methods of the theory of nonlinear oscillations began to develop rapidly shortly after in 1949 there began a teaching activity Yuri Mitropol'skii (1917 - 2008).

Academician of NAS of Ukraine and the Russian Academy of Sciences Yuri Mitropol'skii is considered one of the founders of the world-famous Kiev school of nonlinear mechanics. His main results concern the algorithms for constructing asymptotic expansions of solutions of nonlinear differential equations that describe the unsteady oscillating processes, development of one-frequency method in the study of systems with many degrees of freedom, the averaging method and the method of integral manifolds.

A student of Academician Yu.O.Mitropol’skii, Boris Moseyenkov (born on 18.02.1922 ) received a number of important results in the theory of oscillations of systems with distributed parameters. For such systems he studied the unsteady vibrational modes, and interesting phenomena that occur during the passage through resonance. Docent B.I.Moseyenkov worked an the Department for about forty years. From March to September 1960 and from December 1970 to October 1974 he served as its head.

In 1967, D.I.Martynyuk (1942 - 1996) began his teaching and research work at the Department. Here he rose from assistant to full professor. From 1979 to 1983 he served as Deputy Head of Department of integral and differential equations in science.

From 1988 to 1995 D.I.Martynyuk headed the Department of Mathematical Physics of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics. In 1995, he leaved the position of the head of the Department of mathematical physics and returned to the Department of integral and differential equations, where he worked till the last day of his life – the 27-th of October 1996. D.I.Martynyuk worked at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics for more than 29 years.

The new stage of development of the Department of integral and differential equations started in 1974, when it was headed by Professor Anatoly Samoilenko – a student of M.M.Bogolyubov and Yu.O.Mytropolskii.

From 1963 to 1974 A.M.Samoilenko worked at the Institute of Mathematics, first as a junior, and from 1965 - senior researcher, in 1974 - 1987 he was a head of Integral and differential equations Department of the Kiev State University. In 1987 he returned to the Institute of Mathematics of NAS of Ukraine and heads the ordinary differential equations department. A year after he was elected the Director of the Institute. In 1978 Anatoly Mikhailovich was elected a corresponding member and in 1995 - a member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Since 2006 A.M.Samoilenko is an academician-secretary of Department of Mathematics of NAS of Ukraine.

His research interests cover many difficult problems of qualitative theory of differential equations and nonlinear mechanics. In collaboration with Yu.O.Mytropolskii he conducted an extensive research on current problems in the theory of nonlinear multi-frequency oscillations.

M. Ronto, a student of A.M.Samoilenko, dedicated nearly 10 years to the work at the department.

M.Ronto is a well-known expert in the theory of nonlinear boundary value problems. He has authored more than 160 scientific papers, including 5 monographs.

On January 15, 1987 the department was headed by Mykola Perestyuk, a student of Academician A.M.Samoilneko. As a scientist, M. Perestyuk grew up in the world-famous Krylov-Bogolyubov-Mitropol'skii Kiev school of nonlinear mechanics. His teacher, academician A.M.Samoilenko, is an outstanding mathematician of our days. Under his supervision M.Perestyuk defended in January 1972 a PhD thesis "Some question of the study of nonlinear systems of differential equations with instant changes."

In the research of young scientist a central place occupy the questions of the theory of impulsive systems and the theory of invariant sets of differential and difference equations. In the 70's and early 80-ies with A.M.Samoilenko he received the results of a priority nature, related to the existence of periodic solutions of nonlinear impulsive systems, justification of the averaging method and finding stability conditions for such systems. In fact, a new direction in the theory of ordinary differential equations has been establishing at that time. Later M.O.Perestyuk achieved significant progress in developing the theory of almost periodic solutions and the theory of integral sets for impulsive systems.

In February 1986, M.O.Perestyuk defended Dr.Sci. dissertation "Oscillating solutions of impulsive differential equations and their stability". In 1987 the book "Differential equations with impulsive perturbations", written in collaboration with A.M.Samoilenko was published. It was one of the world's first books devoted to a systematic exposition of the theory of impulsive systems. In 1995, the extended English version of the book "Impulsive differential equations" was published.

More than 20 Ph.Ds and 6 Dr.Sci were defended under the supervision of M.O.Perestyuk. His students work successfully not only in Ukraine but also in other countries: U.S., Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Turkey, Tajikistan, Iraq. He is an Honorary Doctor of Uzhgorod National University (2005) and Chernivtsi National University (2010).

I.O.Parasyuk was born January 18, 1953 in Lviv. He graduated from the Faculty Mechanics and Mathematics Kyiv State University (1975). From 1978 he works at the Department of integral and differential equation as assistant (1978 - 1986), docent (1986 - 1991, 1994 - 1996), Professor (since 1996).

In his doctoral thesis "Coisotropic invariant tori of Hamiltonian systems" (1995) he found and described a new type of multi-frequency nonlinear oscillations in Hamiltonian systems - Quasiperiodic motions on coisotropic invariant tori. For such movements, he developed an informal perturbation theory, which is the development of well-known theory of Kolmogorov - Arnold - Moser.

From 2003 to 2007 I.O.Parasyuk served as Dean of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.

O.M. Stanzhytskiy, another student of A.M.Samoilenko, began his pedagogical activity at the Department. In 1989 he defended his PhD thesis "Oscillating properties of solutions of differential equations with random perturbations." In his subsequent research he found sufficient conditions for existence and stability of periodic modes in systems in standard Bogolyubov form with the presence of periodic random (in the sense of finite-dimensional distributions) process. Later O.M.Stanzhytskiy received a number of sufficient conditions for existence of invariant sets of systems of differential equations, experiencing small random perturbations, and examined the stability of such sets, effectively applying for this a method of Lyapunov functions and reduction principle. In 2002, O.M.Stanzhytskiy successfully defended his Dr.Sci. dissertation "Qualitative analysis of differential equations with random perturbations" and later headed the Department of general mathematics.

V. S. Melnik (1953 - 2007), a gifted mathematician and cybernetics, Doctor of Sciences, corresponding member of NAS of Ukraine, worked at the Department for more than 10 years (from 1997 to 2007).

He has a number of fundamental results on the theory of multivalued dynamical systems in infinite dimensional spaces, nonlinear analysis, equations in partial derivatives, theory of optimal control in Banach spaces. He laid the foundations of the theory multi-dynamical systems in Banach and topological spaces, introduced multivalued semiflows (multivalued analogue of one-parameter semigroups of operators) and examined the structure of their global attractors. For the first time, it enables to solve the problem of qualitative analysis of differential-operator inclusions and evolution equations without uniqueness of solutions.
