Summary of Research

In interval computations, I am looking for general (feasible) methods to estimate the accuracy of the results of data processing algorithms. I am also interested in the mathematical foundations of intelligent control, with the goal of finding the optimal way to transform expert operator's knowledge into the actual control strategy.
