International contacts of the specialists from the Department of mathematical analysis and probability theory of the FMF have recently become highly intensive. Only during three winter months, the Department was visited by our colleagues from the UK, Germany and Switzerland, and German Scientific Association (DFG) decided to finance the project led by the Head of the Department Professor O. I. Klesov together with his colleagues at the Universities of Cologne and Paderborn (Germany).
In December 2015, at the regular seminar of the Department, the experts from the Cardiff University (UK) reported on their discoveries in the field of Skellam fractional processes and their applications for practical problems of financial mathematics. With the opening of a new specialization "Financial and Insurance Mathematics", this scientific direction becomes increasingly important for the mathematicians of the KPI. English scientists invited the Ukrainian colleagues to visit their University in order to continue the perspective research on this topic.
In January 2016, professor Ulrikh Shtudtmuller from the Ulm University (Germany) visited KPI. The fruitful relations with him have acquired a new quality after the singning of the agreement between the two Universities about their cooperation in scientific and educational spheres. According to this agreement, the graduate student of the Department A. L. Melnykova had been studying during the fall semester at the partner University upon the program "Actuarial Mathematics"; a group of students from the FMF is going to familiarize with educational mathematical programs at German universities in summer.
The contacts with Oslo University (Norway) are rather promising. The postgraduate of the Department Yu. Ye. Pryhodko passed the internship at the Institute of Mathematics in Oslo, in January 2016. The norwegian mathematicians appreciate high professional level of Ukrainian collegues, as evidenced by the invitation to read the report at the next plenary Abel Symposium in Norway.
Recently, the KPI has been visited by the mathematicians from Berne (Switzerland), that together with our Department have been engaged in the project "Multidimensional problems for random walks and straight variable functions with application for marked point processes and random sets" for 2015-2017. Already in May, our mathematicians will have visited Bern in response.
The interest of foreign scientists in collaboration with their colleagues from the Department of mathematical analysis and probability theory demonstrates the high level of mathematics in the "KPI".
