Reviewer for the Mathematical Reviews (American Mathematical Society). Reviewer of specialized monographs: for ZAMM, Zeit. angew. Math.

He is author or co-author of more than 160 scientific (research) or expository refereed papers, of several books, and of scores of congress communications (at least 63 were invited talks or seminars, or conferences). In particular, --Invited Main Speaker at ITLA 95, 'Italian - Latin-american Conference in Applied and Industrial Mathematics', Porto Alegre, Brasil, 1995; -- One-hour Invited Talk at WCNA 2008, Orlando, Florida, U.S.A. [unable to attend]; -- Invited Plenary Speaker at the International Conference on Numerical Analysis and Applications and Optimization (NAOTA), King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Darhan Saudi Arabia, in 2011. His research interests include ordinary, partial, and stochastic differential equations of physical or technological interest, and their asymptotic approximation as well as their numerical treatment. In particular, his field of research include: wave propagation in thermonuclear plasmas and in random media, asymptotic solutions of differential equations and boundary - layer problems, numerical treatment of rapidly oscillatory solutions to ordinary differential equations, Kuramoto and similar models of

synchronizations, probabilistic induced domain decomposition (idea pioneered by him), Shannon wavelet solution of differential equations, quantum lattice Boltzmann numerical solution of linear and nonlinear Schroedinger equations, numerical treatment of ordinary or diffusive fractional differential equations, superposition of sigmoidal functions (neural networks). In the field of Kuramoto and similar oscillator systems, he contributed on both sides, that of modeling and simulations and that of analyzing the basic model equations. In more physics-oriented periodicals, with Spanish coauthors, he (1) derived an uncertainty principle in phase-frequency synchronization of large systems of oscillators, and (2) introduced a new model for oscillators with inertia. Analysis of the related partial differential equations was accomplished with Russian coauthors in many analysis journals. In 1991, he first conceived the idea of a probabilistic domain decomposition method to solve numerically certain partial differential equations problems. This idea was then implemented in 2005 and later, producing effective algorithms (the PDD method). Other researchers then improved the method, and even at the present time some people are working on it. To December 29, 20, 2018: -- he supervised 7 Ph.D. students, with 10 descendants (see http://www.genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/id.php?id=104335), even though the total number of his graduated students (almost all in Mathematics) amounts to 33.
