      <title>1. Introduction</title>
      <p>
        The study of the functioning laws for complex
dynamic systems of various types (technical,
economic, and social) has attracted the attention
of researchers for a long time [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1 ref2 ref3 ref4 ref5 ref6 ref7 ref8 ref9">1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9</xref>
        ].
      </p>
      <p>Among the eternal problems that arise in this
case, the following problems can be singled out as
especially important: the choice of optimal modes
of operation for such systems, the choice of an
optimally functioning system from a certain class
of equivalent systems, the quality assessment of
complex dynamic systems functioning.</p>
      <p>The paper proposes a method for solving the
problem, which was formulated. It is based on
comparing the characteristics of the system's
functioning under study with similar
characteristics of a certain reference system
according to a number of criteria.</p>
    </sec>
    <sec id="sec-2">
      <title>2. Main purpose</title>
      <p>Obviously, only a versatile, multi-criteria and
multi-level assessment will be sufficiently
objective. At the same time, its manual acquisition
for complex dynamical systems is impossible in
practically admissible periods of time. This is
impossible even for any particular case due to the
large volumes of processed information. One or a
little territorial analysis will give only one-sided
assessments, while important features of the laws
of the systems functioning that are being
investigated are often ignored. Therefore, a
problem arises related to the development of
methods for optimal processing of this
information in order to quickly obtain the required
estimates.</p>

      <p>( ) = [  ( )] =1,  ∈ [0,  ],
where T is the time during which the test study
was
carried
out.</p>
      <p>We
assume
that
each
characteristic</p>
      <p>
        ( ) = [  ( )] =1,  = 1, 2, 3 …,
represents a vector of constant values or a vector
– a function that describes individual aspects of
the system
functioning
under study (initial,
intermediate and final state, phase vector, control
vector, etc.) [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>
        ].
      </p>
      <p>Let us assume that the system can operate in 
modes   ,  = 1, 2, … 3, … ,  . The characteristics
of the functioning laws for an information security
system (ISS) can be obtained both as a result of
experimental
research
and
by
means
of
mathematical modelling of the dynamics of its
functioning.</p>
      <p>Let us assume that five criteria are used to
assess the functioning quality of the system that is
being investigated   ,  = 1, 2, 3 … ,  . It is
necessary to determine the limits of change of
indices and t values. If there is no special need for
this, it is omitted. We denote  
reference values of the component   ( ) when the
system operates in the k-th mode according to the
 ( ) as the area of
p-th evaluation criterion.</p>
      <p>Equivalent systems are understood as systems
of the same type and
purpose, the law
of
functioning of which is described by a set of
characteristics А( ). We denote by   -class of
equivalent dynamical systems, which includes N
elements.</p>
      <p>An example of a complex dynamic system is
an information security system. Let's simulate the
dynamics of the functioning of a ISS, which is a
system with many links.</p>
      <p>
        The functioning of the ISS can be described by
dynamic, energetic
and a
number of
other
characteristics [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2 ref5">2, 5</xref>
        ]. Each of these characteristics
is a multidimensional scalar vector or
vectorfunction, the components of which describe the
duration of individual phases of the system's
functioning or its behaviour characteristics under
various
external
influences.
      </p>
      <p>Among
the
evaluation criteria, one can point out the deviation
from</p>
      <p>work
information
tolerances, the
protection, the
effectiveness
effectiveness
absorption, etc. The areas of their variation are
used as the areas of reference values of the
characteristic
components.</p>
      <p>
        The
class
equivalent systems in this case can be a reference
system that functions under optimal conditions. In
general, the amount of information that needs to
be
analysed
for a
sufficiently
substantiated
objective assessment of the functioning quality of
an ISS can clearly exceed that available for
nonof

of
automated processing [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref10 ref11 ref12 ref13">10,11,12,13</xref>
        ].
      </p>
      <p>Let us assume that the investigated dynamic
system (ISS) is a new (N + 1)-th element of the
  class. It is necessary to formulate the problem
based
on
a
numerical
analysis
of
the
characteristics of the system  ( ) = [  ( )] =1. It
is necessary to form a sequence of qualitative
local estimates for the behavior of the components
of these characteristics   ( ) = [  ( )]
 ,
 =1, =1.</p>
      <p>This must be done according to a set of criteria
  ,  = 1, 2, 3 … , 5, for a given set of operating
modes   ,  = 1, 2, … 3, … ,  .</p>
      <p>Based
on the
resulting set of local estimates, it is necessary to
form a sequence of weighted averaged estimates
of
varying
degrees
of
generality.</p>
      <p>These
assessments</p>
      <p>make it possible to analyse the
features of the behaviour of both individual
characteristics of the system and the quality of its
functioning as a whole.</p>
      <p>Consider
a
solution
technique for the
formulated problem. Let us assume that the
system under study is assessed according to the
pth criterion when it is operating in the   -th mode.
To solve the formed problem, we introduce an
auxiliary function</p>
      <p>( ) = 0, ∀   ( ) ∈     ( );
   ( ) =   ( ) −</p>
      <p>( ), ∀   ( ) &gt;
   ( ) = 

  ( ) −   ( ), ∀   ( ) &lt;
&gt;  
&lt;</p>
      <p>Let us introduce the numerical parameters of
the local assessment for the i-th component and
the j-th characteristic of the system according to
the p-th criterion in the k-th mode of operation by
the relations
 (  ,   ,   ) = ||   || [0, ] = max[   ( )],

      <p>Obviously, direct analysis of the entire totality
of the numerical parameters of local assessment is
a complex problem. This analysis is complicated
by the analysis of behaviour for the functioning of
the system and functional dependences of   ( ),
in the form</p>
      <p>of graphs, in order to obtain
generalized estimates of the functioning of the
system under study, which is a dynamic system.
The reason for this complexity is in the amount of
parameters, which is equal to 5 = 2
and is
large enough.</p>
      <p>Suppose that for the characteristic [  ( )] =1
of systems for class   certain values
(  ,   ,   ) = min  (   ,   ,   ),
(  ,   ,   ) = max  (   ,   ,   );
(  ,   ,   ) = min  (  ,   ,   ),
(  ,   ,   ) = max  (  ,   ,   ).</p>
      <p>We introduce for each function   ( ) under
study (N+1)-th for the dynamic system the
illogical arrays of local qualitative estimates:
