The 'Second Shift' Is Not Why Women Avoid News
Women are more likely than men to avoid political and economic news, but the reasons for this behaviour are linked less to structural inequality or family-related stress than to personal attitudes and the emotional perception of news content. This conclusion was reached by HSE researchers after analysing data from a large-scale survey of more than 10,000 residents across 61 regions of Russia. The study findings have been published in Woman in Russian Society.

‘All My Time Is Devoted to My Dissertation
Ilya Venediktov graduated from the Master’s programme at the HSE Tikhonov Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics through the combined Master’s–PhD track and is currently studying at the HSE Doctoral School of Engineering Sciences. At present, he is undertaking a long-term research internship at the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei, where he is preparing his dissertation. In this interview, he explains how an internship differs from an academic mobility programme, discusses his research topic, and describes the daily life of a Russian doctoral student in China.

Gaussian limit theorem for posterior distribution in the problem of conflicting expert opinions

Mathematical Communications. 2023. Vol. 28. No. 2. P. 203–212.
Kasianova K., Kelbert M.

. Suppose we have n experts who have their prior opinions about the unknown probability q in the experiment with a binary outcome. It is known that expert opinions are in conflict with each other. To model “conflicting” expert opinions a prior distribution based on Selberg’s integral is constructed. We prove a theorem regarding the limiting properties of the posterior distribution. Also, differential entropy and the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence of such posterior are studied.

2-Elliptic Periodic Orbits near a Nonsimple Homoclinic Tangency in Four-Dimensional Symplectic Maps
Lerman L. M., Turaev D. V., Regular and Chaotic Dynamics 2026 Vol. 31 No. 3 P. 349–369
We show that bifurcations of four-dimensional symplectic diffeomorphisms with a quadratic homoclinic tangency to a saddle periodic orbit with real multipliers produce 2-elliptic periodic orbits if the tangency is not partially hyperbolic. We show that a normal form for the rescaled first-return maps near such tangency is given by a four-dimensional symplectic H´enonlike map and study bifurcations of the ...

Bibliometric Analysis by Network Models
Aleskerov F. T., Yakuba V. I., Khutorskaya O. et al., Springer, 2026.
The book contains new models of bibliometric analysis based on centrality measures in network analysis, pattern analysis and stability analysis. A distinctive feature of these centrality measures is that they account for the parameters of vertices and group influence of vertices to a vertex. This reveals specific groups of publications, authors, terms, journals and affiliations ...

Neural-network maps for two-parameter modeling of bistability and codimension-two bifurcations in two-dimensional flow dynamical systems
Kuptsov P., Panyushev A., Stankevich N., Chaos 2026 Vol. 36 No. 5 Article 053138
We develop a machine-learning approach to reproduce the behavior of two versions of the van der Pol oscillator exhibiting a subcritical Andronov–Hopf bifurcation, with or without a codimension-2 Bautin point. We construct a neural-network model that functions as a recur rent map and train it on short segments of oscillator trajectories. The results show that, ...

In this paper the structural stability of generic families of vector fields of the PC-HC class on the two-dimensional sphere is proved. A classification of these families up to moderate equivalence in neighborhoods of their large bifurcation supports is presented, based on such invariants as the configuration and the characteristic set. The realization lemma is proved. ...

The Sobolev space W_2^{1/2}: Simultaneous improvement of functions by a homeomorphism of the circle
Lebedev V., Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications 2026 Vol. 563 No. 2 Article 130787
It is known that for every continuous real-valued  function $f$ on the circle $\mathbb T=\mathbb R/2\pi\mathbb Z$ there exists a  change of variable, i.e., a self-homeomorphism $h$ of $\mathbb T$, such that  the superposition $f\circ h$ is in the Sobolev space $W_2^{1/2}(\mathbb T)$.  We obtain new results on simultaneous improvement of functions by a single  change of variable in relation ...

Игры на сетях с линейным наилучшим ответом: модели и методы управления
Petrov I., Автоматика и телемеханика 2026 № 6 С. 82–118
Системам связанных агентов и сетевому управлению посвящено большое число отечественных и зарубежных исследований. Исторически, наибольший интерес в теории управления возникал к усредняющим системам и, в частности, к задаче консенсуса. Однако сетевое взаимодействие может характеризоваться более специфическими функциями, отражающими зависимость от действий соседей по сети, что особенно явно проявляется в моделях стратегического взаимодействия на сети, которое ...

A two-point phase recovering from holographic data on a single plane

We consider a plane wave, a radiation solution, and the sum of these solutions (total solution) for the Helmholtz equation in an exterior region in Rd, d ⩾ 2. In this region, we consider a hyperplane X with sufficiently large distance s from the origin in Rd. We give two-point local formulas for approximate recovering the radiation ...

Multivariate Newton interpolation in downward closed spaces reaches the optimal Bernstein–Walsh approximation rate
Hecht M., Hofmann P., Wicaksono D. et al., IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis 2026 Vol. 00 P. 1–30
Recent advances in Bernstein—Walsh theory have extended Bernstein’s Theorem to multiple dimensions, stating that a multivariate function can be approximated with a geometric rate in a downward-closed polynomial space if and only if it is analytic in a generalized Bernstein polyellipse. To compute approximations of this class of functions—which we term Bos–Levenberg–Trefethen–(BLT) functions—we extend the ...

Weighted Chernoff Information and Optimal Loss Exponent in Context-Sensitive Hypothesis Testing
Kelbert M., Kalimulina E. Y., Entropy 2026 Vol. 28 Article 536
We study binary hypothesis testing for i.i.d. observations under a multiplicative context weight. For the optimal weighted total loss, defined as the sum of weighted type-I and typeII losses, we prove the logarithmic asymptotic L∗n = exp{−nDwC (P,Q) + o(n)}, n →∞, where Dw C is the weighted Chernoff information. The single-letter form of the exponent relies on ...

We prove equivalence of two integral representations for the wave functions of hyperbolic Calogero–Sutherland system. For this we study two families of Baxter operators related to hyperbolic Calogero–Sutherland and rational Ruijsenaars models; the first one as a limit from hyperbolic Ruijsenaars system, while the second one independently. Besides, computing asymptotics of integral representations and also ...

On Undecidability Degree of Theory of Figures in Countable and Uncountable Linear Spaces
Dudakov S., Lobachevskii Journal of Mathematics 2025 Vol. 46 No. 12 P. 6092–6102
We study the additive theory of arbitrary figures in linear spaces, that is, the theory of addition extended to sets of vectors. Our main result is the following: if a linear space is infinite, then the additive theory of figures admits interpreting second-order arithmetic and, therefore, it has such or higher degree of undecidability. For countably infinite spaces, ...

On the minimum number of maximal distance-k independent sets in trees
Taletskii D., / Series arXiv "math". 2026.
A vertex subset of a graph is called a \textit{distance-$k$ independent set} if the distance between any two of its distinct vertices is at least $k + 1$. For all $n,k \geq 1$, we determine the minimum possible number of inclusion-wise maximal distance-$k$ independent sets among all $n$-vertex trees. It equals~$n$ if $n \leq k ...

Sequential Three-Way Decisions in Efficient Classification of Piecewise Stationary Speech Signals
Savchenko A., , in: International Joint Conference on Rough Sets, Springer, Cham.: Springer, 2017. P. 264–277.
In this paper it is proposed to improve performance of the automatic speech recognition by using sequential three-way decisions. At first, the largest piecewise quasi-stationary segments are detected in the speech signal. Every segment is classified using the maximum a-posteriori (MAP) method implemented with the Kullback-Leibler minimum information discrimination principle. The three-way decisions are taken ...
