Abstract
At present stage of physical geography development mainly the paleogeography is required for quantative analysis with applying of computer, so that this analysis allows to have acces for application of complex modern mathematic models such as theory of combinations , nonparametric and parametric mathematical-statistic methods, by which are succeed to discover more disctintive pecularities in structure and development of paleolandscapes. The results is invaluable on the regional geosystem forecasting .
Introduction
In this work for the first time in Azerbaijan is applying complex methods of modern mathematics so called matrix computation in the plaeolandscape investigation s of description of more practicable structure and their characteristic elements such as determination of structure's and interrelation of structural elements of geographical complexes with the alteration of leadership in time.
The investigation of paleolandscapes spatial-temporal structure by means of mathematic-cartographic modelling on computer IBM PC 586 if quantitative elements of the paleolandscapes structure are taken form the Azerbaijan Republic paleolandscapes maps, which compiled by prof M.A.Museibov (1981) for nine sections of geological time. I. Upper Miocene, II . Middle Pliocene, III. Upper Plioncene ( agchagil century ), IV. and absheron century ), IV Under Pleistocene ( Baku centurly), Middle Pleistocene ( Gurgans century (IV), Caspian century (VII), khvalyn century (VIII)),. IX. Late Pleistocene ( The end of Khvalyn century ), and X. Holocene (Modern century ).
The Methods of Research and Results
For solution of this problem with some modification which connected with character of investigation we have took the method, suggested by A.G.Topchiyev (1979) and the methods mathematical-system analysis.
The work have been carried out by following stages.
1. Matrix analysis of plaeolandscapes neighbourhood ( meeting )
The goal of this analysis is to determone the leading paleolandscapes which are the core of paleolandscapes general structure and this period of the considering region.
The second to determine secondary elements in the paleolandscapes structures of investigated region at this period, so called core satellite of paleolandscapes structure. To define these elements of paleolandscapes structure the A.G.Topchiev's criteria in interpreted as follows:
T(i) =SUM(I)/SUM(j)
a) Natural Complexes (NC) is appeared as one of the landscape's structure score if
t(i)>1
b) Natural complexes appears as a satellite ( non leading ) of one or some different cores if
t(i)<1
c) Natural Complexes has a boundary distribution which is closed to incident if
t(i)=1
For solution of this question we have determined occurrence number of plaeolandscapes in space on the paleolandscape maps of Azerbaijan. On this bases have composed the matrix of occurrence, which have determined A.G.Topchiev's criteria values.

According to the results of the Topchiev's criteria t(i) we have composed the landscapes organization maps which reflected leading ( core structure ) and subordinate ( care satellites-landscapes ) elements at the paleolandscapes structure ( organization).
The analyses of he pleolandscapes organization maps have discovered that:
-
T the leading paleolandscapes are not meeting at the Upper Miocene . it shoves that the paleolandcsape structure core not formed at this period so all the paleolandscapes have lead accidentally distributed character .
- At the Akchagil centrury the cores composition is continned to become complicated. Some of middle mountains and plain landscapes are characterized by accidental distribution.
- At the Baku century the middle mountains an plain paleolandscape are gone out of the core satellites composition and become of paleolandscape structure core. On this case at this century have created contrast and the paleolandscape structure.
- At the Caspian century height mountainous and middle mountainous paleolandscape have gone out of the composition of core and become accidentally distributed elements of structure. The structure core of paleolandscape at this century were plain and middle mountains paleolandscape
- At khvalyn century high mountainous and middle mountains paleolandscape have returned to the composition of ht core's satellites. The core of paleolandscape structure consisted of plain, foot mountainious and some where middle mountainous paleolandscape .
- At the end of khvalynian century the core of paleolandscape structure consisted from plain, foot mountainous, middle mountainous and high mountainous paleolandscapes.
