All projects have a theoretical in nature and can be implemented as MSc and PhD. Separating them is arbitrary. To perform them are requires to know analytical methods of Theoretical physics, computer simulation methods and computer methods for mathematical computations.

Appeal to students

Dear Postgraduate students! All projects are easily performed step by step. First, understand the physics of the phenomenon, use proposed literature. Then understand what each term of basic equations means. Analyze the equations and find their simple solutions (stationary or homogeneous). Classify them as to type and stability. Plot the phase trajectories and establish other types of solutions. Use a computer system or graphing calculation to construct a phase plane portrait that illustrates your conclusion. Make the necessary calculations. Now you know everything about evolution of complex system which you research. Make conclusions and get excellent mark!
