Mathematical Modelling of Problems of Control Theory, Elasticity Theory, Hydro-Thermodynamics, and Statistics Connected with the Terrorist Attacks and Defence against Terrorism

Unfortunately, terrorist attacks became very frequent recently. Terrorism is an unacceptable form of expression of fight and protest, since in the result mainly die and suffer absolutely innocent population. The number of the countries, where terrorist attacks have had place in the last decade, is very large. Unfortunately, Georgia is among them (terrorist attacks on gas and oil pipelines, thermoand hydro power plants, power transmission lines, railways carrying the oil, Georgian President, local and foreign citizens and so on). The fight against terrorism, development of the defensive mechanisms against terrorist attacks and prognosis of the possible damage and pollution of the environment as a result of these attacks became a prior problem of the modern science. Mathematical modelling represents a quite convenient and powerful mean to investigate the defence policies against terrorist attacks, as well as the possible results of the terrorist attack. Here we present the list of the themes, connected with the defence against terrorism, which have been developed and investigated in the I.Vekua Institute of Applied Mathematics of the Tbilisi State University:
