A little about models

Optimization and Control 2021-02-19 v2

Abstract

We discuss several aspects of creation of adequate mathematical models in other sciences. In particular, many difficulties stem from great complexity of the source systems and the presence of a variety of uncertain factors. We illustrate the effect of uncertainty on the known consumer demand model. We conclude that not every uncertainty can be represented by a random variable, and that these concepts are not equivalent. We discuss also the role of different information concepts in mathematical models. We give additional illustrative examples of models of quite complex systems.
