flows. The book provides a detailed description of mathematical principles of
information operations recognition, based on mathematical statistics, nonlinear
dynamics, complex networks theory, information and mathematical modeling,
sociology. A separate chapter covers the applications of approaches from expert
estimation theory and decision-making support to information operation
