Summary of the pro ject by A. Shlapunov "The Cauchy Problem for Elliptic Complexes" It is well known, that the Cauchy problem for elliptic equations is ill-posed in all the standard functional spaces. ... For overdetermined elliptic systems this approach was based on Integral Representation Method. ... Differential complexes appear as compatibility conditions for overdetermined systems of differential equations (such as, for example, Maxwell system or multidimensional Cauchy-Riemann system). ...

... To avoid extensive numerical calculations in the statistical simulations, we treat the continuous evolution of each binary component as a sequence of a finite number of basic evolutionary states (for example, main sequence, red (super)giant, helium (Wolf-Rayet) star,     hot WD), in which stellar parameters significantly differ from each other. ... Figure 2: Schematic representation of the typical evolutionary track of a massive binary system with normal and compact star stages indicated. ...
