The analysis of the illumination devices at work have been performed, methods of illumination calculation and their simplified forms have been presented. The set requirements for the lighting systems have been analyzed and the program of the lighting calculation has been investigated. Experiment on measuring the amount of illuminance on the working surface of the room has been executed and the data of experiment has been compared with the calculation results. It has been measured that the data of experiment coincides with the calculation results. Seven separate lighting systems have been examined; their efficiency of lighting the whole working surface and separate working places has been measured. The research on uniformity of illuminance on the whole working surface and separate working places has been performed. The influence of the objects that exist in the room, such as monitors, workers, on the efficiency and uniformity of illuminance in the working places has been examined. Deficiencies and advantages of separate lighting systems have been explained in the performed research. The received results are summarized in the conclusions.

The analysis of searching optimization tasks and methods at work have been performed, rules of constructing simplex, its motion rules have been presented. The methods of simplex search analysis have been investigated; simplex search methods compared to other optimization methods. The analysis of statistical characteristics of rectangular simplex search was made using multiple Markov chains. Double Markov chains describing properties of rectangular simplex search in the climbing stage were designed, simplex search statistical characteristics calculating methodic was created. Theoretical statistical characteristics – probabilities of search steps, mathematical expectancy of shift of the simplex center towards the aim – which let us evaluate the velocity of rectangular simplex search in the climbing stage and reveal its features were obtained. Rectangular simplex search with two and three controlled variables was analyzed experimentally. Theoretical characteristics are confirmed by the results of modeling the search. The task of filter structure synthesis was solved using simplex search method. The results and conclusions of the research can be used in creating new algorithms of simplex search.

In the present master’s study, there is analyzed electro-safety and harmonization to applicable norms. The object of the study is analysis of literature, norms and standards. The objective of the study is harmonization of norms of electro-safety and norms of safety installation of electrical equipment. Methods of work: a) analysis, b) comparison, c) generalization. Methodology of the study: analysis of literature and documents. Results of the study: Performed researches have show, that normative documents no always correspond actual electro-safety protection. Therefore, there should be reconsidered criteria of hazardousness of electricity.
