His list of publications consists of more than 250 journal articles published in major mathematics journals in many countries including Ukraine, USA, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, China, Greece, Brazil, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Turkey, and Russia. He is an author of more than a dozen of books published by such prestigious publishers as John Wiley & Sons (USA), Birkhäuser (Swiss), World Scientific (United Kingdom), and others. He is a very popular invited speaker and visiting professor in many international conferences and universities, including University of Zaragoza, University of Naples, University of Salerno, University of Alabama, and others.
