Scientific biography and main
results:
The Ph.D. thesis of V.V. Uchaikin concerned application of
the perturbation theory to theoretical problems of radiation shielding and
gamma-defectoscopy. His main results of that period are the theory of images
blurred by Compton scattering of radiation, the Monte Carlo algorithm of
calculation of influence of local inhomogeneities, generalized perturbation
theory applied to transition effects in cosmic ray physics.
Since 1973 till 1989, V.V. Uchaikin worked in the Altai State University
(Barnaul, Russia ). His scientific group became known through development of
stochastic transport theory for high-energy particles in cosmic rays,
introducing the adjoint approach to cascade theory, numerical investigation of
the spatial distributions in electromagnetic component of extensive atmospheric
showers (EAS), creation of the two-component model of stochastic fluctuations in
EAS, the transport theory in random media, the variational method of
interpolation of solutions of integro-differential equations and based on it
sensitivity analysis. Some of the results are used now in different codes of
processing of cosmic ray arrays data (in particular, in the code "CORSIKA"). His
second, Sc.D. thesis was titled "Concept of Stochastical Importance and its
Applications to Transport Problems" and defended at the meeting-point of two
sciences: Nuclear Physics and Geophysics.
In 1995, V.V.Uchaikin found a new scientific direction in Ulyanovsk State
University (Ulyanovsk, Russia): numerical simulation of stochastic fractals,
fractal diffusion and diffusion on fractals. He developed conception of
mesofractals applied to the large-scale structure of the Universe, calculated of
penetration of light in such structures, offered a new model of non-Debye
relaxation, investigated the new class of statistical distributions called
"fractional stable distributions" and a new class of random processes -
subordinated Levy motion, created the code for simulations of such distributions
and processes, investigated new regimes of anomalous diffusion, stated the
difference between fractal diffusion and diffusion on fractals. About 50
articles have been published in these direction including the book "CHANCE AND
STABILITY: Stable Distributions and their Applications" (V.V. Uchaikin and V.M.
Zolotarev, series Modern Probability and Statistics, VSP, Utrecht, 1999, 570
p.).
