Nikolay V. Kuznetsov

Nikolay Vladimirovich Kuznetsov (Russian: Николай Владимирович Кузнецов; born 13 May 1979 in Leningrad, USSR) is a specialist in nonlinear dynamics and control theory.

Since 2018 the research group chaired by Kuznetsov has been awarded the status of the Leading Scientific School (Center of Excellence) of Russia in the field of mathematics and mechanics.

[4][5][6] In 2021, the joint educational & research program was expanded to include the Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology, where Kuznetsov was offered the position of Visiting Professor.

In his works, a combination of rigorous analytical and reliable numerical methods allowed for both the advancement in solving previously known fundamental unsolved problems as well as the development of modern engineering technologies.

[8]: 39  Among his main results are the discovery of a hidden Chua attractor in Chua circuits,[9] revealing of coexisting hidden attractors in electomechanical models with Sommerfeld effect, solutions to the Egan problem on the pull-in range and to the Gardner problem on the lock-in range for phase-locked loops, nonlinear analysis of the CP-PLL and validation of the Gardner conjecture, counterexamples with self-excited and hidden attractors to the classical describing function method, developed effective analytical-numerical methods for the construction of counterexamples to the Kalman conjecture on the absolute stability of control systems, provided justification of time-varying linearization and analysis of Perron effects of the Lyapunov exponent sign reversal, effective analytical-numerical method for the finite-time and exact Lyapunov dimension computation, and proof of the Eden conjecture for a number of dynamical systems.
