●Research
The goal of research is a construction of fundamental mathematical theory on materials and its applications. For the goal, we derive mathematical models utilizing conserved quantities or Lyapunov functions, and apply the discrete dynamical theory related to nonlinear wave theory, ultradiscretization method, Boolean algebra and stochastic process. We also develop mathematical methods to analyze the models exactly. Moreover, we propose concrete mathematical models about the simulation of material formation process and those about statistical prediction for macroscopic physical quantity, and verify the efficiency of those models by numerical calculation or symbolic manipulation.
