    III. Subject of joint work (a few phrases)

      We plan to contnue the investigation of multiparametric
      Gaussian processes using entropy methods and Levy-Cieselsky
      expansions. From probabilistic point of view our goal is to
      evaluate the probabilities of the small deviations of the
      process while analytical aspect consists of the entropy
      estimation for the balls in Sobolev spaces of functions of
      several variables.

    IV. Desired duration  14  days/weeks/month in the period
        from  24.10 to  14.11.
