Popis: The production of $D$ mesons in proton-proton collisions at the LHCb detector is studied. We consider the single production of ${D}^{0}/{\overline{D}}^{0}$, ${D}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$, ${D}^{*\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$, and ${D}_{s}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$ mesons and correlation spectra in the production of $D\overline{D}$ and $DD$ pairs at the $\sqrt{S}=7\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{TeV}$ and $\sqrt{S}=13\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{TeV}$. In case of the single $D$-meson production we calculate differential cross sections over transverse momentum ${p}_{T}$ while in the pair $D\overline{D}$, $DD$-meson production the cross sections are calculated over the azimuthal angle difference $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}\ensuremath{\varphi}$, rapidity difference $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}y$, invariant mass of the pair $M$ and over the ${p}_{T}$ of the one meson from a pair. The cross sections are obtained at the leading order of the parton Reggeization approach using Kimber-Martin-Ryskin unintegrated parton distribution functions in a proton. To describe the $D$-meson production we use universal scale-dependent $c$-quark and gluon fragmentation functions fitted to ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ annihilation data from CERN LEP1. Our predictions find a good agreement with the LHCb Collaboration data within uncertainties and without free parameters.
