Abstract
Herein, a historical analytical survey of work of “Discrete Modelling of Pattern Recognition” (DM-Lab) research group in Armenia is presented. The group is since 1973, supervised by worldwide recognized scientist Yurii Ivanovich Zhuravlev and lead by his former student Levon Aslanyan. The general start of attention to computational mathematics and computational systems in Armenia is concerned with the times of cybernetics as a research direction, and the names of great scientists and policy makers, such as Andranik Iosifyan and Sergei Mergelyan. In early 1950’s a large number of HighTech and defense related organizations were established in area, and their theoretical, scientific cluster was formed around the Yerevan Research Institute of Mathematical Machines, and Computer Center of Academy of Sciences and Yerevan State University. This was the time for intensive stuff and student exchanges inside the larger country USSR. Rimma Podlovchenko, Rafik Tonoyan, Igor’ Zaslavski, Yuri Shoukourian started teaching at Yerevan State University in 70’s, a number of students were delegated to the recognized cybernetical centers, in Moscow, Kiev, Novosibirsk. And one of the results of these developments was appearance of DM-Lab in Armenia, composed by alumnus of Novosibirsk and Moscow State Universities, led by Levon Aslanyan, and supervised globally by RF Academician Yuri Ivanovich Zhuravlev. Further research and education activities lead to defenses of candidate and doctoral dissertations, in Armenia, and at the council of Computer Center of Academy of Sciences of Russian Federation. The initial stuff of DM-Lab group included Gevorg Tonoyan, Levon Asatryan, Vilik Karakhanyan. Local members of the group were Hasmik Sahakyan, Vladimir Sahakyan, Irina Arsenyan, Levon Kazaryan and large number of young PhD students. Research directions at the DM-Lab were and are related to the pattern recognition theory – to mathematical models of forming and analyzing learning sets, studying their properties such as the class compactness hypothesis, in terms of isoperimetry; to forming the logic of interrelations of classes, in terms of logic separation; setting up new approaches in data mining area, etc. All these studies involve intensive research over the years, addressing topics related to the geometry of n-dimensional unite cube and lattices in general, Boolean function minimization, discrete optimization problems, and algorithmic studies coming from data science and artificial intelligence. International relations and activities of the group includes: long term representation of Armenia in the ISO technical groups, representation of Armenia in ICT research programmes of European Council, membership at the ITHEA virtual research institute with its conferences and publishing house. 10’s of research projects were implemented during these years. Projects were funded by UNDP, NATO Research, INTAS, EC Esprit, IST and Horizone, RFBR, and other international and local sources. 16 candidate and 2 doctoral theses were defended by the group members.

Additional information
Levon Hakob Aslanyan was studying at Avetiq Isahakyan Secondary School in 1950’s, then, after graduating from the Yerevan Electronic Computation Technical Colledge in 1963 entered the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Yerevan State University. In 1966 according to the student exchange target program, he transferred to the Novosibirsk State University, graduating with honors in 1968. In 1969–1972 he was a post-graduate student at the Computer Center of the USSR Academy of Sciences. In 1976 he defended his PhD thesis in Physics and Mathematics at the Computing Center of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Moscow. Doctoral dissertation he defended in 1997. In 1983 he was awarded the title of Senior Researcher, and in 2008 the title of Professor. In 2014 elected Corresponding Member of National Academy of Sciences of Armenia (NAS RA) in the field of Informatics. He is the head of Discrete Mathematics Department (DM-Lab) of the Institute of Informatics and Automation of NAS RA. Aslanyan’s biography began at the Institute of Energetics of the Academy of Sciences of the Armenian SSR in 1961, and his research activities at the Institute of Mathematics of the Siberian Department of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Department of Computational Theory in 1968.
Aslanyan’s theoretical results in the field of discrete analysis are of primary scientific importance: including characterization of the efficiency of local algorithms, derivation of asymptotic formulas of reduced disjunctive normal form complexity of weakly defined Boolean functions, development of a model of logic separators for pattern recognition, description of the set of all solutions to the discrete isoperimetric problems, associative rule mining chain based methods, etc.
The systems developed by him are of practical use: including optimal algorithm for searching for the best matches, design and implementation of “cluster analysis, cognition, and statistics” (CARS) software system, seismic information data analytics by the use of automated pre-processing hardware-software tools, integrated distributed enterprise information management system, ArmReader system for automatic character recognition (OCR), software system of network protection, etc.
Aslanyan has shown great effort and enthusiasm for scientific and organizational work. Since 2003 is Co-founder of the Bulgarian Institute for Information Theories and Applications (ITHEA), is Chairman of the Scientific Council of ITHEA, Member of the Editorial Board of 5 international journals (including Information Theories and Applications, ITHEA; Journal of Next Generation Information Technology, AICIT), Member of the Conference Program Committee (Natural Information Technologies, Madrid; Classification, Forecasting and Data mining, Varna; Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems, Rzeszow; etc.). In 1997–2020 he was national contact point of European Commission scientific programs on information and telecommunication technologies to Armenia.
Aslanyan is author of almost 200 scientific articles. He has lectured at universities in Belgium, Spain, Greece, Bulgaria, Germany and other countries. His works in the field of discrete mathematics, informatics and pattern recognition have significantly contributed to raising the international rating of Armenian science.
The main scientific cooperation of DM-Lab includes: the entire scientific school of Academician of the Russian Federation Academy of Sciences Yu. I. Zhuravlyov ( CC, Moscow, Russia), scientific schools of Dr. K. Markov (ITHEA, Sofia, Bulgaria), Prof. K. Vanhoff (HU, Haselt, Belgium), Prof. Kh. Castellanos (UPM, Madrid, Spain), Prof. P. Spirakis (PU, Patras, Greece), Academician S. Oblameyko (BSU, Minsk, Belarus), Prof. H.D. Grunau (RU, Rostock, Germany), Academician G. Katona (MI, Budapest, Hungary), and other groups.
