Problem with data on parallel characteristics for the loaded wave equation
Abstract
The theory of loaded equations is very relevant both in theoretical terms and in its numerous practical applications in various fields of modern natural science. This explains a huge number of works devoted to research and application of loaded equations in the last fifty years. The main objective of the study is to present the loaded equations as a method for setting new correct boundary value problems. The proof for the correctness of the problem is based on the d'Alembert's formula obtained for the studied wave equation. The paper considers a loaded hyperbolic equation with two loaded terms. The load traces are related to different characteristic manifolds of a one-dimensional wave operator. Our goal is to study the problem with data on non-intersecting characteristics. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution, which is presented in an explicit form. The distinguishing feature of the problem is that it is ill-posed in the absence of loaded terms.



Initial value problem for a fractional order equation with the Gerasimov–Caputo derivative with involution
Abstract
The paper considers a linear ordinary differential equation with a fractional derivative in the Gerasimov–Caputo sense. The equation under consideration belongs to the class of differential equations that arise, in particular, in the study of boundary value problems for differential equations containing a composition of left- and right-hand derivatives of fractional order, which, in turn, serve as the basis for modeling various physical and geophysical processes. In particular, such equations arise when describing dissipative oscillatory systems. In this work, the initial value problem in the unit interval is studied for the equation under consideration. A theorem for the existence and uniqueness of a solution to the problem under study is proven, and an explicit representation of the solution is constructed.

Search for theoretical approaches to the study of cyber-physical systems and environments with intelligent control
Abstract
In the context of bionanorobotics research it is important to develop methodological approaches that integrate interdisciplinary knowledge. For this purpose an architectural model of a cognitive infocommunication system (CICS) based on the principles of domain modeling is proposed. The paper analyzes the possibilities of applying category theory and intuitionistic logic for formalized description and prediction of characteristics of biointegrated cyber-physical systems and environments with intelligent control. A method for representing the topological structure of CICS using the concept of a «presheaf» is proposed. To improve the accuracy and efficiency of modeling it is recommended to use modern tools such as homotopy type theory, theorem proving assistants, functional and logical programming languages, and discrete-event simulation models.



LUT generator based on smooth piecewise linear parameterized function
Abstract
When visualizing X-ray images, there is a problem of specific transformation of the original image in accordance with the examined tissues and body parts. Since different tissues have different ranges of densities, the required results can be achieved by expanding the dynamic range for pixels whose intensity values are in a certain range characteristic of the corresponding tissue. Such transformations for each pixel of the image are determined directly by the pixel intensity value and do not depend on the intensity values of neighboring pixels, i.e. the transformation is a function of one variable. This allows using tabular representations of functions (Lookup Tables – LUTs), which ensures high computational efficiency. To select the appropriate transformation functions, the participation of an expert is required, who will determine how correctly a particular function transforms the image. The paper presents a flexible generator of lookup tables (LUTs), with the help of which it is possible to produce tables with various parameters. Illustrations of the transformation results are provided. A link with an implementation in Python is attached, which provides the ability to visualize the result in order to interactively select the appropriate parameters.

Computer modelling of large branched water pipeline systems with higher-order optimality
Abstract
Modelling of optimal hydraulic pipeline for regional and interregional water supply systems is highly relevant because of water scarcity in some parts of Russia. For a multi-extreme optimization problem to which this problem relates a local extremum is not sufficient and an absolute extremum is not possible since it would take a massive amount of computing power to solve. The purpose of the research is to develop a method, algorithms and software system for computer modelling of large branched water pipeline systems with higher-order optimality. The basis of the method is to divide the synthesis problem with flux and potential variables (Kirchhoff's circuit) into two phases; it allows us to significantly reduce the computation time and resource requirements. The first phase determines the network structure while the second one identifies values of hydraulic parameters. The proposed methodology, algorithm and software are designed for computer modelling of branched water pipelines systems of regional and interregional water supply as well as for large-scale irrigation systems.

Abstract
A design of optimal hydraulic pipeline for regional and interregional water supply systems is highly relevant due to water scarcity in part of Russian regions. The article presents a method for transforming a network structure into a 2-optimal Kirchhoff–Steiner network, i.e. such a network that cannot be improved by any change in the structure and coordinates of Steiner points of any subnet consisting of 2-reachable points from any vertex in the graph. Algorithms and a software system for computer-aided design of a Kirchhoff–Steiner flow network for regional and interregional water supply and large irrigation systems have been developed. The computational experiments verified a high efficiency of the computer-aided approach proposed.



Optimization of traffic light operation at urban intersections made of roads with two lanes
Abstract
One of the current challenges in optimizing city traffic flow is the intersection traffic light control. The paper presents a solution to the traffic light control problem using mathematical modeling and computer design, operating in two- and three-phase modes. In our study we base on the well-known Lighthill-Whitham condition. Our interest in intersections with two-lane roads is due to the fact that they make up a significant part of the urban road network. Modern approaches to solving the problem are based on the analysis of the dataset that contains road intersection average data. The advantage of the presented approach, which is based on the Lighthill-Whitham condition, is related to the analytical solution of the optimization problem with consideration of the parameters of traffic flows at signalized intersections during the peak periods.

Application of machine learning method to analyse incomplete data
Abstract
This paper presents an integrated approach to the analysis of incomplete and inaccurate data, illustrated by the example of mudflow forecasting. The aim of the study is to demonstrate how a combination of different methods allows not only to obtain adequate forecasts, but also to deeply understand the logic of decision-making by the model, identifying the key factors influencing the forecast. The key point of the work is the use of categorization of numerical data to increase the stability of models to outliers and noise, as well as to take into account nonlinear dependencies. The integrated approach is based on a combination of associative data analysis and the construction of a logical classifier, which acts as an interpreter of the obtained decisions. This combination made it possible to identify critical input features and understand how the model uses information to form a forecast, identify factors that have the greatest impact on the forecast result, ensure the accuracy and stability of forecasts taking into account the specificity and complexity of mudflow data. The rules obtained during the study, which are the key principles of the studied area, contribute to a deeper understanding of the nature of mudflows.

Analysis of expedient behavior of various types of automata
Abstract
Collective behavior of automata is one of the directions of development of machine learning methods. Such machines fulfil the function of goal-oriented behavior. The machine performs an action, in response to which the environment sends its output signal to the input of the machine. The machine, in accordance with its design, responds to this input signal with the next action. Thus, a closed loop of interaction is built between a certain environment and the machine operating in it. This environment itself in many cases allows for machine implementation. Effectiveness evaluation of the machine is defined as an optimization problem of maximizing the sum of positive signals (rewards), or minimizing negative signals (penalties), received from the environment, over the considered period of time. Formalization of both the properties of the environment and the actions of the machines, as well as processing of the obtained results is performed using the apparatus of game theory. In this case, signals from the environment are conveniently represented as the sums of the winnings and losses of the players-machines. In this paper, a comparison of machines of different designs is carried out, since the efficiency of machine reactions is determined not only by the properties of the environment, but also by such parameters as the type and depth of memory.

Abstract
The main scientific problem of this work is the need to develop a formal apparatus for describing processes of onto-neuromorphogenesis, growth and development of axo-dendronal connections among agent neurons in the control neurocognitive architectures of intelligent software agents. The aim of the study is to develop a formal apparatus describing the interaction among elements of multi-agent neurocognitive architectures of agents of universal artificial intelligence. A formal apparatus has been developed to describe multi-agent neurocognitive architectures and processes of situationally conditioned growth and degradation of associative connections in them, inspired by the processes of growth and degradation of axo-dendronal connections in human brain. For the first time concepts have been introduced and formal definitions have been given for multi-agent spaces, coordinates, axes, metrics, protocols, dialogues, replicas and multi-replicas, neurogenesis functions, presynaptic and postsynaptic terminals, correlation and trust coefficients, activation and trust functions, synapses, which are necessary for recording and calculating contracts among actors as part of cognitive architectures of agneurons. For the first time neuro-cognitive functions (mappings) have been introduced that describe the processes of ontoneuromorphogenesis in neurocognitive architectures of intelligent agents.



Universal expert system based on ontoepisosociophylogenetic training of federations of intelligent neurocognitive agents
Abstract
The work is devoted to solve a scientific problem of developing a conceptual justification for the possibility of autonomous training of intelligent expert systems based on ontoepisociophylogenetic training of neurocognitive agents. The aim of the study is to develop basic principles of creating universal expert systems based on ontoepisociophylogenetic training of federated intelligent neurocognitive agents. The basic principles of ontoepisociophylogenetic training of universal federated expert systems have been developed. It is shown that the functional specialization of intelligent agents within a federation, subject to their cooperation in order to maximize the combined increment of the values of the target functions, allows overcoming efficiency limitations. The use of epigenetic algorithms for fixing ontological knowledge of intelligent agents within a federation in generations of evolutionary optimization is substantiated. The possibility of constructing multi-generational populations in order to increase the overall efficiency of a universal expert federated system is substantiated.



Modification of a deep learning algorithm for distributing functions and tasks between a robotic complex and a person in conditions of uncertainty and variability of the environment

The Hindsight Experience Replay method is used to overcome the problem of sparse rewards. Results. The trained model demonstrated stable convergence, achieving a high level of success rate of manipulation of objects. The integration of LSTM and HER methods into reinforcement learning allows solving the problems of distributing tasks between a human and a robot under uncertainty and a changing environment. The proposed method can be applied in various scenarios for collaborative robots in complex and changing conditions.

Corn for grain productivity with different methods of basic cultivation
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of different methods of primary cultivation on the grain productivity of corn. The article presents the results of a field experiment to identify the feasibility of using different methods of primary cultivation on hybrid corn crops. It was found that the maximum leaf surface area of 44.9 thousand m2 / ha was provided by corn hybrids in the variant with moldboard tillage. In the case of non-moldboard tillage, the leaf surface decreased by 4.7 %. Analysis of this indicator depending on the studied hybrids showed that the highest value (45.5 thousand m2 / ha) was noted when cultivating Mashuk 355 MV. When cultivating hybrids ROSS 299 MV, Krasnodarsky 298 MV, Krasnodarsky 427 SV, a decrease of 6.8; 2.7 and 5.3 %, respectively, was noted. The parameter of net productivity of photosynthesis on average for hybrids was maximum with moldboard tillage – 11.0 g/m2•day, which is 13.4 % more than the variant with no-moldboard tillage. This indicator was maximum for the hybrid Mashuk 355 MV – 11.6 g/m2•day, in plots with other hybrids (ROSS 299 MV, Krasnodarsky 298 MV, Krasnodarsky 427 SV) the decrease varied within 18.4; 9.4 and 22.1 %. Moldboard tillage turned out to be the most rational, where on average for hybrids the grain yield was 7.6 t/ha, the difference with the data of the variant with no-moldboard tillage was noted at the level of 10.1 %. The highest productivity in the considered conditions was provided by the hybrid Mashuk 355 MV – 8.1 t/ha. The excess in comparison with the hybrid ROSS 299 MV was 22.7%, with the data of the hybrid Krasnodar 298 MV – 9.5 %, and in comparison with Krasnodar 427 S – 19.1 %. Thus, on average, over the years of the field experiment, it was established that the corn hybrids formed the greatest efficiency against the background of the use of moldboard tillage. Among the hybrids, Mashuk 355 MV formed the greatest productivity.



Efficiency of chemical weeding in the fight against ragweed and other weeds on sunflower crops in the steppe zone of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic
Abstract
The studies were conducted in 2021–2023 to suppress weeds, including a particularly dangerous object of internal quarantine in our country, common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiaflia L.) in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) crops. In 2021–2023, the effect of Gaur, KE (240 g/l) and Gezagard, KS (500 g/l) herbicides on weed infestation of Master sunflower crops was studied in the steppe zone of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic. The experimental design included comparison of variants with and without a herbicide background at different application rates: 1 – control (economic); 2 – control without weeds (weeds were removed manually as they appeared on crops during the sunflower growing season); 3, 4; 5 – application of different doses of herbicides to the soil. A high degree of suppression of common ragweed (85.0–90.8 %) and other species (73.0–89.6 %) was noted against the background of application of the soil herbicide Gaur, KE in doses of 0.8 and 1.0 l/ha, applied to the soil under “blind” harrowing. This protects against losses of up to 0.5–0.9 t/ha of sunflower seeds compared to the data in the farm control (1.7 t/ha). The calculations showed that against the background of changes in the weed-field cenosis, the economic efficiency of chemical weeding was revealed. In the variants with the use of herbicides, the cost of proceeds was 21,000–23,000 rubles/ha against 15,000 rubles/ha in the farm control. When using Gaur and EC at doses of 0.8 and 1.0 l/ha, the profitability level was 114 and 122 %, respectively.



Potential of sunflower hybrids depending on soil cultivation and fertilizers
Abstract
Sunflower is the main oilseed crop of the Republic of Adygea. The use of promising hybrids and the choice of appropriate soil cultivation techniques as well as optimization of the plant nutrition system are especially important among the set of agro-technical measures used in its cultivation. In this regard, the introduction of mineral fertilizers along with topdressing at some stage of ontogenesis, allows to activate the growth of not only the root system, but also the aboveground mass of sunflower, and this entails an increase in seed yield. The main objective of the research is establishing the productivity level and seed quality indicators of promising sunflower hybrids in the conditions of the foothill zone of the Republic of Adygea, depending on the elements of their cultivation technology. Experimental studies on establishing the effect of primary soil cultivation methods (moldboard plowing – 25–27 cm and deep loosening – 35–40 cm), doses of nitrogen-phosphorus (N30P30) fertilizers and topdressing (oilseed Biostim, 1.0 l/ha and Ultramag Bor, 0.5 l/ha) on the productivity and quality indicators of sunflower hybrid seeds was carried out according to B.A. Dospekhov’s Methodology of Experimental Work. The repetition of an experiment was threefold, the accounting area was 50 m². The placing of options was systematic. The seeding rate was 60 thousand pcs./ha. Winter wheat served as a predecessor. As a result of the research the most effective way to increase the yield and quality of sunflower seeds has been established, namely, the cultivation of zoned hybrids (Sprint, Gorstar, Irene and Aris), that are maximally adapted to the agroclimatic conditions of the region. Optimal conditions for the successful growth and full development of sunflower hybrids have been determined. It has been established that optimal indicators are achieved against the background of nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizers with topdressing (N30P30+FF) by moldboard plowing, where the maximum yield achieved is an average of 3.0 t/ha for the Sprint hybrid. The difference in the yield depending on soil was marked at the level of 8.3 %. On average, according to the experiment, in the variants of primary soil cultivation, the oil content of seeds was at the level of 48.3 and 44.4 %, respectively.

Improving the efficiency of the selection of parent pairs in potato breeding
Abstract
Successful selection of potato genotypes with a complex of economically valuable traits largely depends on the successful selection of parental pairs during hybridization. The purpose of this study is to establish the frequency of selection of economically valuable genotypes in hybrid combinations, determined by the level of the average yield indicator. During the analyzed period (2010-2022), the full selection process was completed for three groups of hybrid combinations, the seedlings of which were grown in 2010, 2011 and 2016, and the first assessment of hybrids for economically valuable traits in 2011, 2012 and 2017, respectively. The seedlings were grown in pot culture in protected ground and during harvesting, sets of genotypes were formed within each hybrid combination. In the first tuber generation, hybrid selection was carried out based on a visual assessment of a set of characteristics: absence of virus, late blight and scab damage, yield, nest type, stolon length, tuber shape, and eye depth. The selection value of hybrid combinations was assessed by the number of genotypes selected for inclusion in the nurseries of the main and competitive tests and transferred to the State Variety Testing. In the first group of hybrid combinations studied in 2011, the frequency of selection of economically valuable forms varied from 2.0 to 28.5%, and in 2012 – from 1.8 to 21.4%. For these groups of hybrid combinations, a relationship is observed between the selection indicators of economically valuable hybrids and the final results of the selection process. Until its completion, hybrids of those combinations are preserved that were characterized by a high frequency of selection of economically valuable hybrids during the assessment in the first tuber generation. This pattern is especially clear when comparing hybrid combinations obtained using the topcross scheme with one common parent – the tester used as the maternal or paternal form. The frequency of occurrence of economically valuable forms in the first tuber generation is a reliable criterion for determining the breeding value of hybrid combinations. Average yield indicators of combinations do not correlate with the frequency of selection of economically valuable hybrids.

The influence of foliar feeding on soybean productivity in the Republic of Adygea
Abstract
In the Republic of Adygea, on leached drained chernozems, studies were conducted (2021–2023) on the effect of foliar feeding with microfertilizers containing boron and molybdenum on the growth, development and yield of soybeans, as well as on the quality of the resulting products. The purpose of this experiment was to study the effect of different doses of foliar feeding on the productivity and quality of soybean seeds. Soil cultivation with a layer turnover of 25–27 cm was used. Soybean plants (Mentor variety) were treated with boron (B) and molybdenum (Mo) in the early flowering phase, at a dosage of B 300; 900 mg / ha, Mo 100; 300 mg / ha. As a result, it was found that foliar treatment in the early flowering phase increased the yield by 9.4–30.7 % compared to the control variant. Foliar feeding had a positive effect on the formation of the best physical indicators of soybean grain quality in the variants with a triple dose of boron and molybdenum. The thousand-seed weight exceeded the control by 7.2 and 6.1 % in the variants with a three-fold increase in the dosage of boron and molybdenum, respectively. The protein content fluctuated depending on the experimental variants from 25.10 to 25.55 %, the oil content in the samples varied within 24.4–24.5 %. Treatment with the highest doses of B and Mo contributed to an increase in net income: 54.0 and 51.3 thousand rubles per hectare, respectively. The level of profitability of production in the experimental variants was 86.0 – 125.8 %. Over three years of research, recommendations were developed for the use of various doses of microfertilizers, for soil cultivation with layer turnover, which ensured an increase in soybean yield by 10 – 31 % and the quality of the resulting products by 5–10 %.



Study of the influence of the biopreparation Lignohumate in combination with mineral fertilizers on the productivity of winter barley in the conditions of the southern foothill zone of Adygea
Abstract
The article presents the results of field experiments conducted on meadow-chernozem leached drained super-deep clay soil in order to study the effect of the humic biopreparation Lignohumate in combination with mineral fertilizers on the productivity of winter barley. The experiment included the following: disking of the soil to a depth of 12-16 cm; fertilizers: sulfoammophos N20P20S8 (200 kg/ha of physical weight, N40 active substance per 1 ha), ammonium nitrate: NH4 NO3 (106 kg/ha of physical weight, N36) and the biopreparation during the heading and grain filling phases. Fertilizer doses were calculated based on the limiting element nitrogen. Treatment with the biopreparation according to the following variants: 1. 0.0 control; 2. 0.6; 3. 0.8; 4. 1.0 l/ha. The combined use of the biopreparation, mineral fertilizers and plant protection products helped to optimize the phosphorus content (0.32 – 0.41%), the interaction of the macronutrients potassium and calcium and their content in plant leaves, and had a positive effect on the total number of plants and productive stems, the number and weight of 1000 grains. The most effective method was the introduction of: N40P40S16 (sulfoammophos) + N36 (ammonium nitrate) + Lignohumate (0.8 l/ha). In this variant, the yield was 39.5% higher than in the control. The cost of gross output increased due to the yield growth from 49.4 to 74.1 thousand rubles. The conditional net income and profitability levels also increased to 60.4 %. The practical application of the developed cultivation method contributed to the stabilization of soil fertility – the humus content at the beginning of 4.2% and the end of the studies 4.03 % in one provision group; an increase in the productivity of winter barley by 25.6–39.5 %, an increase in the protein content in grain by 10.38–11.34 %.

Modeling the strategic behavior of producers in a local agricultural market with bounded demand
Abstract
We consider the problem of modeling local markets with limited demand, for which the existence and characteristics of a stable market equilibrium depends on the institutional structure of the market and strategic decisions of producers. Such type of markets can be observed in agricultural regions of many countries, including Russia (in particular, they are common in the republics of the North Caucasus). The main factors of inefficiency in such systems are restrictively high transaction costs of moving into the regional market, budget constraints and imperfect information. This leads to the fact that due to the lack of effective market mechanisms for coordinating production plans, seasonal overproduction of individual crops occurs. In this regard, the problem of developing an effective and sustainable mechanism for coordinating strategic decisions between independent producers under conditions of uncertainty and imperfect information arises. The paper describes the features of such market systems, highlights their specific differences from markets with perfect competition, and proposes a formulation of the problem of mathematical modeling that allows formally describing the interaction of economic entities in such a market.

The functional role of algysh (benevolence) and kargysh (curses) in Karachay-Balkar historical and heroic songs
Abstract
The article analyzes the functioning of benevolence and curses in Karachay-Balkar historical and heroic songs. It is noted that they serve as indicators of moral guidelines, social norms and historical memory, demonstrating ideas about good and bad, justice and injustice, as well as folk ideals in various historical epochs. The texts of the declared genres, identified by the continuous sampling method, served as the material for the study. Benevolence and curses in historical and heroic songs are important tools of social communication, strengthening collective memory and ethnic identity, as well as influencing the formation of value orientations in traditional society. The study showed that the analyzed texts retain a significant amount of encoded information reflecting the linguistic and ethnic picture of the world of the Karachais and Balkars. In addition, it will contribute to a deeper understanding of the symbolic function of lgysh and kargysh as expressive means in historical-heroic poetry and their suggestive impact on the recipient in terms of understanding historical events and moral lessons.
