Mazalov, Vladimir Viktorovich

In 1976 he graduated from the Faculty of Applied Mathematics - Management Processes of Leningrad State University and entered graduate school (supervisor - Professor V.I. Zubov ).

Since 1980, he worked at the Chita Institute of Natural Resources of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences , where he headed the laboratory of mathematical modeling, then was appointed director of the institute (1993-1998).

In 1981 he defended his thesis on the applications of optimal stopping problems,

In 1991 he defended his doctoral thesis on the topic “Methods of optimal stopping in optimization and minimax problems”.

Since 1999 he has been working at the Karelian Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences as a director of the Institute of Applied Mathematical Research .

The studies of V.V. Mazalov lie in the field of game theory and operations research .

Head of a number of research projects supported by the Department of Mathematical Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences , the Russian Foundation for Basic Research , the Russian Humanitarian Science Foundation, INTAS , the Swiss Science Foundation, the Swedish Institute , the Japan Foundation for the Development of Science, the Academy of Sciences of Finland.

Mazalov V.V. member of the editorial board of mathematical journals: “Scientiae Mathematicae Japonica”, “International Game Theory Review”, “Operations Research and Decisions”, “Journal of Algebra and Applied Mathematics”, “Journal of Dynamics & Games”, “Management of large systems”, “Mathematical Game Theory and Its Applications , is co-editor of the Game Theory and Applications Yearbook (Nova Science Publishers) and Modeling and Optimization in Science and Technologies (Springer).

Member of the American Mathematical Society , Chairman of the Russian Society for Operations Research (ruors.ru), since 2016 - President of the International Society of Dynamic Games (ISDG) .

V. Mazalov prepared 24 candidates of sciences and one doctor of science, lectures at the universities of Oulu (Finland), Jönköping (Sweden), Qingdao (China) and Petrozavodsk State University . Organized the International Symposium on Dynamic Games, the All-Russian Symposium on Applied and Industrial Mathematics, the Scandinavian Symposium on Probability Theory, the Russian-Finnish Symposium on Discrete Mathematics, a series of Schools of Young Scientists “Mathematical Methods in Ecology”, International Working Meetings on Network Games and Optimal Stopping .

The main scientific results Mazalova V.V. relate to game theory and its applications. He studied a wide class of dynamic and evolutionary games arising in problems of the ecology of animal behavior and developed methods for finding equilibrium in such games. The proposed models make it possible to understand the evolution of a number of important aspects of animal behavior, such as migration, competition for resources, choice of a partner, and foraging. He developed a fundamentally new approach to managing biological populations based on the allocation of a protected area.

Proposed new game-theoretic methods in the tasks of analyzing the structure of information and communication systems. It is shown that to determine the centrality measures of the vertices and edges of the graph it is effective to use game-theoretic measures associated with this graph. The task of clustering networks is presented as a coalition game in which a Nash- stable coalition partition is sought. A new clustering method based on the methods of potential games has been developed. Different types of potentials are proposed, which lead to the construction of a stable coalition partition. It is shown that this potential method is equivalent to the maximum likelihood method if the network is modeled by a random graph . Developed game-theoretic models of telecommunications services markets: for the mobile communications market and for the cloud computing market.

He is the author of over 150 scientific publications in Russian and international scientific journals ^[1] , including Doklady i Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Akademii Nauk, Probability Theory and Its Applications, Mathematical Modeling, Mathematical methods of operations research, and others, as well as the author of 7 monographs and textbooks, including “Mathematical Theory of Games and Applications” and “Negotiations. Mathematical Theory.
