Abramovich S., Nikitin Y. Y.
We discuss modern spreadsheets used in the scholls in order to facilitate the teaching and understanding of classical probabilistic problems such as the division of stakes, the problem of Grand Duce of Tuscany and the problem of coprimality of two natural numbers chosen at random ( the latter ascends to Tchebysheff, Dirichlet, and probably even to Gauss and Euler).

Рассматривается клеточное разбиение пространства модулей вещественных кривых рода 2 с отмеченной точкой на единственном вещественном овале. Клетки перечисляются определенными графами, веса которых описывают комплексную структуру на кривой. Показано, что стягивание ребра графа приводит к корневой особенности естественного отображения из весов графа в пространство модулей кривых. ...

Уравнение Пелля-Абеля — это функциональное уравнение вида P²-DQ² = 1, с заданным многочленом D, свободным от квадратов, и неизвестными многочленами P и Q. Мы показываем, что пространство уравнений Пелля-Абеля с фиксированными степенями D и примитивным решением P является комплексным многообразием. Мы описываем его связные компоненты с помощью эффективно вычислимого инварианта. ...

The best uniform rational approximation of the Sign function on two intervals separated by zero was explicitly found by E. I. Zolotarëv in 1877. The natural extension of this problem to three bands was solved by E. Stiefel in 1961. We indicate the solutions overlooked by the prominent geometer and study their properties. ...

A Pell–Abel equation is a functional equation of the form P^2-DQ^2=1 , with a given polynomial D free of squares and unknown polynomials P and Q. We show that the space of Pell–Abel equations with the degrees of D and of the primitive solution P fixed is a complex manifold. We describe its connected components ...

The integration of data-driven and knowledge-driven approaches in generative geospatial modelling (GGM) is often hindered by their mathematical incompatibilities. Here, we propose a geometric algebra (GA)-based framework that employs a unified multi-vector representation to fuse heterogeneous data and diverse knowledge. The framework facilitates structured reasoning and hypothesis generation through a task-adaptable, five-stage cycle: representation, reasoning, ...

We show that, in terms of closure ordinals, many infinitary calculi for ‘first-order’ logics of probability (i.e., for languages similar to those in [Abadi & Halpern 1994]) are as hard as possible: the corresponding closure ordinals coincide with the least non-constructive ordinal, denoted by $\omega_1^{\mathrm{CK}}$. ...

Large distributed sensor arrays require repeated recalibration as radiation damage, material aging, gain variation, and readout drift alter channel responses. We studied a high-granularity calorimeter as a large sensor array and addressed unsupervised recalibration from two unpaired datasets: a nominal reference response and an aged response with attenuated cell-wise signals. Aging was modeled by a ...

The report examines the ecosystem supporting the development of social entrepreneurship in Europe. It considers the historical evolution of the sector, the approaches adopted by the European Union and individual countries to defining and recognising social enterprises, and the differences between European and Russian models. Particular attention is paid to the role of social enterprises ...

Under what institutional conditions do qualifications frameworks become trusted mechanisms for progression, mobility, and labour-market signalling? This paper starts with this question, and then examines the evolution of India’s qualifications architecture through the trajectory of the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) and the emergence of the National Credit Framework (NCrF). More specifically, it addresses the ...

The notion of λ-th upper scrambling index was introduced by Huang and Liu in 2010, as a generalization of a notion considered by Akelbek and Kirkland in 2009. For a primitive digraph D, it is defined as the smallest positive integer k such that for every λ vertices of D there exist directed paths of lengths k from these vertices to a common vertex. This ...

Introduced by Goulden and Jackson in their 1996 paper, the matchings-Jack conjecture and the hypermap-Jack conjecture (also known as the b-conjecture) are two major open questions relating Jack symmetric functions, the representation theory of the symmetric groups and combinatorial maps. They show that the coefficients in the power sum expansion of some Cauchy sum for ...

This volume explores how generative artificial intelligence is reshaping universities worldwide. Rather than focusing only on the technology, it shows how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing how students learn, teachers teach, and institutions operate, while also being shaped by cultural values, educational traditions, and social expectations.
Bringing together international case studies from regions including Europe, the ...

Hyperbolic hypergeometric integrals are defined as Barnes-type integrals of products of hyperbolic gamma functions. Their reduction to ordinary hypergeometric functions is well known. We study in detail their degeneration to complex hypergeometric functions. Namely, using uniform bounds on the integrands, we prove that the univariate hyperbolic beta integral and the conical function degenerate to two-dimensional ...

This study examines pre-service teachers' (PSTs) attitudes towards inclusive education in Germany and Russia and investigates how they relate to teacher training curricula and teacher educators' discourse. A mixed-methods design was used, including an online survey of PSTs (n = 460) with an open-ended question, curriculum review and exploratory interviews with university educators in both contexts.

Reinforcement learning (RL) is increasingly grounded in tools from probability, optimization, and operator theory. This survey organizes the mathematical structures that underpin the design and analysis of modern algorithms in RL. We begin from Markov decision processes (MDPs) and the Bellman operators, emphasizing contraction mappings, monotonicity, and fixed-point theory that yield convergence guarantees and rates ...

We obtain an upper bound for the sum $\sum_{n\leq N} (a_{n}/\varphi (a_{n}))^{s}$, where $\varphi$ is Euler's totient function, $s\in\mathbb{N}$, and $a_{1},\ldots, a_{N}$ are positive integers (not necessarily distinct) with some restrictions. As applications, for any $t>0$, we obtain an upper bound for the number of $n\in [1,N]$ such that $a_{n}/ \varphi (a_{n})> t$. ...

This paper addresses the challenge of merging hierarchical navigable small world (HNSW) graphs, a critical operation for distributed systems, incremental indexing, and database compaction. We propose three algorithms for this task: Naive Graph Merge (NGM), Intra Graph Traversal Merge (IGTM), and Cross Graph Traversal Merge (CGTM). These algorithms differ in their approach to vertex selection ...

A noncommutative projective variety is defined, following Artin and Zhang, by a graded coherent algebra 𝐴. The category of coherent sheaves is then the quotient qgr(𝐴) of the category of finitely presented graded modules by the subcategory of torsion modules. We consider the categorical and polynomial entropies of the Serre twist, that is, of the ...

If a symmetric multilinear algebra is weakly nil, then it is Engel. This result may be regarded as an infinite-dimensional analogue of the well-known Jacobian theorem, which states that if a polynomial mapping has a polynomial inverse, then its Jacobian matrix is invertible. This refines a theorem of Gerstenhaber and partially answers a question posed ...
