Elmkhan Mahmudov

Elmkhan Mahmudov is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics Engineering at Istanbul Technical University, with over 100 publications since 1987 and an h-index of 16. His research establishes foundational contributions to optimal control theory and differential inclusions, spanning theoretical frameworks to engineering applications across five decades.

His expertise focuses on necessary optimality conditions for singular controls, fractional systems (particularly Caputo derivatives), and differential inclusions with discrete/continuous dynamics. Key specialties include:

• Elliptic/hyperbolic boundary-value optimization
• Time-optimal control of linear systems
• Higher-order delay differential inclusions
• Impulsive systems with duality principles
• Polyhedral differential inclusions
• Locally adjoint mapping techniques

Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate intensifying focus on fractional-order extensions, state-constrained systems, and hybrid boundary conditions. His work consistently applies Pontryagin Maximum Principle adaptations to novel system classes, with notable output surges in 2023 (17 publications) indicating active research momentum.

Professor Mahmudov secured two SRP-funded projects in 2023: Optimal Control of Elliptic Type Polyhedral Inclusions (July 2023-February 2024) addressing elliptic system optimization, and Optimization of First Boundary Value Problem for Hyperbolic-Type Polyhedral Discrete and Differential Inclusions (January-July 2023) targeting hyperbolic systems. These projects reflect his sustained grant acquisition capacity in core research domains.
