Pocket Money, Personal Interest, and Family Practices: What Shapes Students Economic Literacy?
University students' economic literacy depends not only on their field of study but also on their interest in economics, the learning environment, and family financial practices. For example, students who received pocket money irregularly tend to perform better on economic literacy tests than their peers who received financial support on a regular basis. These findings come from a study conducted by HSE University involving more than 1,100 students from five Russian universities. The findings have been published in Cakrawala Pendidikan.

The Energy Function of Gradient-Like Flows and the Topological Classification Problem

Mathematical notes. 2014. Vol. 96. No. 6. P. 921–927.
Gurevich E., Grines V., Pochinka O.

For gradient-likeflows without heteroclinic intersections of the stable and unstable manifolds of saddle periodic points all of whose saddle equilibrium states have Morse index 1 or n−1, the notion of consistent equivalence of energy functions is introduced. It is shown that the consistent equivalence of energy functions is necessary and sufficient for topological equivalence.

Bifurcations and Structural Stability of Generic PC-HC Families
Dorovskiy A., / Series arXiv "math". 2026.
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. ...

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 ...

We introduce an explicit class of tempered Laurent polynomials in the sense of Villegas and Doran--Kerr in n⩽4 variables including all Landau--Ginzburg models for smooth Fano threefolds with very ample anticanonical class. We check that it contains Landau--Ginzburg models for various Fano fourfolds which are complete intersections in smooth toric varieties and Grassmannians of planes, ...

On weak solutions to the 1d compressible Navier-Stokes equations: a Lipschitz continuous dependence on data in weaker norms and an error of their homogenization
Zlotnik Alexander, / Series arXiv "math". 2026. No. 2602.03481v1.
We deal with the global in time weak solutions to the 1D compressible Navier-Stokes system of equations for large discontinuous initial data and nonhomogeneous boundary conditions of three standard types. We prove the Lipschitz-type continuous dependence of the solution $(\eta,u,\theta)$, in a norm slightly stronger than $L^{2,\infty}(Q)\times L^2(Q)\times L^2(Q)$,  on the initial data $(\eta^0,u^0,e^0)$ in a ...

We investigate the interplay between the dimension of the space of static potentials and the geometric and topological structure of the underlying static three-manifold. A partial classification of boundaryless static manifolds is obtained in terms of this dimension. We also treat the case of static manifolds with boundary. In particular, we prove that if a ...

Using predefined vector systems to speed up neural network multimillion class classification
Gabdullin N., Androsov I., / Series Computer Science "arxiv.org". 2026.
Label prediction in neural networks (NNs) has O(n) complexity proportional to the number of classes. This holds true for classification using fully connected layers and cosine similarity with some set of class prototypes. In this paper we show that if NN latent space (LS) geometry is known and possesses specific properties, label prediction complexity can ...

Iterative Ricci-Foster Curvature Flow with GMM-Based Edge Pruning: A Novel Approach to Community Detection

Community detection in complex networks is a fundamental problem, open to new approaches in various scientific settings. We introduce a novel community detection method, based on Ricci flow on graphs. Our technique iteratively updates edge weights (their metric lengths) according to their (combinatorial) Foster version of Ricci curvature computed from effective resistance distance between the ...

On finding formal power-logarithmic expansions of solutions to q-difference equations

An algebraic q-difference equation is considered. A sufficient condition for the existence of a formal power-logarithmic expansion of a solution to such an equation in the neighborhood of zero is proposed. An example of applying this sufficient condition for constructing a formal expansion of a solution to a certain q-difference analogue of the fifth Painlevé equation ...

We establish a central limit theorem, a local limit theorem, and a law of large numbers for a natural random walk on a symmetric space M of non-compact type and rank one. This class of spaces, which includes the complex and quaternionic hyperbolic spaces and the Cayley hyperbolic plane, generalizes the real hyperbolic space Hn. Our approach introduces ...

Cascades of Lorenz attractors in the Shimizu-Morioka model
Kazakov A., Koryakin V., Safonov K. et al., / Series arXiv "math". 2025.
The Lorenz attractor is the first example of a robustly chaotic non-hyperbolic attractor. Each orbit of such an attractor has a positive top Lyapunov exponent, and this property persists under small perturbations despite possible bifurcations of the attractor. In this paper, we study the boundary of the Lorenz attractor existence region in the Shimizu-Morioka model. ...

Accurate segmentation of blood vessels in brain magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is essential for successful surgical procedures, such as aneurysm repair or bypass surgery. Currently, annotation is primarily performed through manual segmentation or classical methods, such as the Frangi filter, which often lack sufficient accuracy.

Birational transformations of threefold Q-conic bundles

A $\mathbf{Q}$-conic bundle is a contraction $f: X\to Z$ of a three-dimensional algebraic variety $X$ to a surface~$Z$ such that the variety~$X$ has only terminal $\mathbf{Q}$-factorial singularities, the anticanonical divisor $-K_X$ is~$f$-ample, and $\uprho(X/Z)=1$. We provide an algorithm to transform a $\mathbf{Q}$-conic bundle to its standard form. ...

Hu and Yau conjectured that this result can be generalized to arbitrary dimension. They defined ``Mukai's elementary transformation'' as the blow-up of a subvariety ruled by complex projective spaces, composed with the contraction ...

A topological classification of smooth, structurally stable flows on four-dimensional closed manifolds is obtained, the wandering set of which contains isolated trajectories connecting saddle equilibria (heteroclinic curves). For dimensional reasons, the heteroclinic curves of such flows belong to the intersection of invariant manifolds of saddles of adjacent Morse indices. We assume that the non-wandering set of ...

О 3-диффеоморфизмах с обобщенным аттрактором Плыкина
Barinova M., Kolchurina O., Yakovlev E., Математический сборник 2024 Т. 215 № 9 С. 3–29
Известно, что нетривиальный аттрактор в неблуждающем множестве Ω-устойчивого 3-диффеоморфизма сосуществует с тривиальными базисными множествами тогда и только тогда, когда он либо одномерный неориентируемый, либо двумерный растягивающийся (ориентируемый или неориентируемый). Ранее были построены примеры соответствующих диффеоморфизмов, за исключением случая двумерного неориентируемого аттрактора. Настоящая работа восполняет этот пробел. Кроме того, здесь конструктивно доказывается существование энергетической функции у построенного диффеоморфизма, тем самым ...

This paper is devoted to gradient-like flows on surfaces, which are Morse-Smale flows without limit cycles, and to their topological classification up to topological conjugacy. Such flows, otherwise called Morse flows, have been repeatedly classified by means of various topological invariants. One of these invariants is the two-colour Wang’s graph, which is valid only for gradient-like flows on orientable ...

C. Conley’s fundamental theorem of the theory of dynamical systems states that every dynamical system, even a nonsmooth one (i.e., a continuous flow or a discrete dynamical system generated by a homeomorphism), admits a continuous Lyapunov function. A Lyapunov function is strictly decreasing along the trajectories of the dynamical system outside the chain recurrent set ...
