On the basis of the qualitative analysis and numerical simulation of cosmological models with classical and phantom scalar fields with self-action there have been revealed and refined such models' distinctive features and potential possibilities for their usage as basic models in cosmology.keyword cosmological models, classical and phantom scalar fields, quality analysis, asymptotic behavior, numerical simulation, numerical gravitation PACS: 04.20. Cv, 98.80.Cq, 96.50.S 52.27.Ny This work was funded by the subsidy allocated to Kazan Federal University for the state assignment in the sphere of scientific activities.1 Let us notice that phantom fields in the context of wormholes and so-called black universes were considered in [4], [5].
