The idea of the project is to study the effects of intermediate mass black holes (IMBH) on the dynamics of the young stellar population of dense star clusters in galactic nuclei to search for evidence of the presence of IMBH. A feature of the Project is the use of methods of N-body problem direct integration for all dynamic components of a stellar system, with the principle that one particle – one star on 10 million years time scales. The results of our numerical models will make it possible to compare the galactic center observations data and calculate the presence of IMBH
