An axiomatic description of the Cauchy matrix (kernel of the integral representations of solutions) is given, the adjoint boundary value problem to the general linear boundary value problem is constructed, a method of the study of nonlinear boundary value problems for the solvability with the use of a priori inequality is developed. Jointly with N. V. Azbelev and L. F. Rakhmatullina, the basics of the general theory of functional differential equations are worked out. In colloboration with A. N. Rumyantsev, the constructive methods for the study of boundary value problems, including impulsive ones, are developed with the use of reliable computations; the theory and the imlementation of the reliable computing experiment are worked out, which are aimed to the study of wide classes of problems including some problems in economic dynamics.

Graduated from the Izhevsk Mechanical Institute in 1970 (department of computer science). Ph.D. thesis was defended in 1974. D.Sci. thesis was defended in 1985. A list of my works contains more than 90 titles including 4 books (with coauthors). Since 1985 I, N. V. Azbelev, and L. F. Rakhmatullina have led the research seminar at the Perm State Technical University on functional differential equations.

In 1994 I was selected by the G. Soros International Scientific Fund as a George Soros professor. Since 1996 I am a member of the Academy of Nonlinear Sciences.
