Machine Learning Models Can Help Reduce Volatility and Boost Stock Market Returns
The use of machine learning models makes it possible to achieve greater accuracy in predicting risks in the Russian stock market compared to classical econometric approaches. The predictive power of these models increases by 23%, while the average investor’s return can reach up to 13% per annum. These conclusions were drawn by Nikita Lysenok from the Department of Financial Market Infrastructure at the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences. The paper has been published in Fundamental and Applied Mathematics.

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.

Foundations for Decision Problems in Separation Logic with General Inductive Predicates

Ch. 27. P. 411–425.
Antonopoulos T., Gorogiannis N., Haase C., Kanovich M., Ouaknine J.

We establish foundational results on the computational complexity of deciding entailment in Separation Logic with general inductive predicates whose underlying base language allows for pure formulas, pointers and existentially quantified variables. We show that entailment is in general undecidable, and ExpTime-hard in a fragment recently shown to be decidable by Iosif et al. Moreover, entailment in the base language is PI_2^p complete, the upper bound even holds in the presence of list predicates. We additionally show that entailment in essentially any fragment of Separation Logic allowing for general inductive predicates is intractable even when strong syntactic restrictions are imposed.

Are prime numbers and quadratic residues random?
Blank M., Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems 2025 Vol. 45 No. 11 P. 4186–4201
Appeals to randomness in various number-theoretic constructions appear regularly in modern scientific publications. Such famous names as V.I. Arnold, M. Katz, Ya.G. Sinai, and T. Tao are just a few examples. Unfortunately, all of these approaches rely on various, although often very non-trivial and elegant, heuristics. A new analytical approach is proposed to address the ...

Commutative action logic
Stepan L. Kuznetsov, Journal of Logic and Computation 2023 Vol. 33 No. 6 P. 1437–1462
We prove undecidability and pinpoint the place in the arithmetical hierarchy for commutative action logic, i.e. the equational theory of commutative residuated Kleene lattices (action lattices), and infinitary commutative action logic, the equational theory of *-continuous commutative action lattices. Namely, we prove that the former is Σ01�10-complete and the latter is Π01�10-complete. Thus, the situation is the ...

The complexity of election problems with group-separable preferences
Faliszewski P., Karpov A., Obraztsova S., Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems 2022 Vol. 36 Article 18
We analyze the complexity of several NP-hard election-related problems under the assumptions that the voters have group-separable preferences. We show that under this assumption our problems typically remain NP-hard, but we provide more efficient algorithms if additionally the clone decomposition tree is of moderate height. We also show a polynomial-time algorithm for sampling group-separable elections uniformly at ...

A \(\Pi^0_1\)-bounded fragment of infinitary action logic with exponential
Kuznetsov S., , in: Logic, Language, and Security. Essays Dedicated to Andre Scedrov on the Occasion of His 65th BirthdayIssue 12300.: Cham: Springer, 2020. P. 3–16.
Infinitary action logic is an extension of the multiplicative-additive Lambek calculus with Kleene iteration, axiomatized by an 𝜔-rule. Buszkowski and Palka (2007) show that this logic is \(\Pi^0_1\)-complete. As shown recently by Kuznetsov and Speranski, the extension of infinitary action logic with the exponential modality is much harder: \(\Pi^1_1\)-complete. The raise of complexity is of ...

The Nonnegative Rank of a Matrix: Hard Problems, Easy Solutions

Using elementary linear algebra, we develop a technique that leads to solutions of two widely known problems on nonnegative matrices. First, we give a short proof of the result by Vavasis stating that the nonnegative rank of a matrix is NP-hard to compute. This proof is essentially contained in the paper by Jiang and Ravikumar, ...

Horn fragments of the Halpern-Shoham interval temporal logic
Zakharyaschev M., BRESOLIN D., KURUCZ A. et al., , in: ACM Transactions on Computational Logic (TOCL)Vol. 18. Issue 3.: NY: ACM, 2017. P. 1–39.
We investigate the satisfiability problem for Horn fragments of the Halpern-Shoham interval temporal logic depending on the type (box or diamond) of the interval modal operators, the type of the underlying linear order (discrete or dense), and the type of semantics for the interval relations (reflexive or irreflexive). For example, we show that satisfiability of ...

Biabduction (and Related Problems) in Array Separation Logic
Kanovich M., Brotherston J., Gorogiannis N., , in: 26th International Conference on Automated Deduction – CADE 26.: Springer, 2017. P. 472–490.
We investigate array separation logic (ASL), a variant of symbolic-heap separation logic in which the data structures are either pointers or arrays, i.e., contiguous blocks of memory. This logic provides a language for compositional memory safety proofs of array programs. We focus on the biabduction problem for this logic, which has been established as the key to automatic specification inference ...

Model checking for symbolic-heap separation logic with inductive predicates

We investigate the *model checking* problem for symbolic-heap separation logic with user-defined inductive predicates, i.e., the problem of checking that a given stack-heap memory state satisfies a given formula in this language, as arises e.g. in software testing or runtime verification. First, we show that the problem is *decidable*; specifically, we present a bottom-up fixed ...

Two-sided unification is NP-complete

It is generally accepted that to unify a pair of substitutions 1 and 2 means to find out a pair of substitutions 0 and 00 such that the compositions 10 and 200 are the same. Actually, unification is the problem of solving linear equations of the form 1X = 2Y in the semigroup of substitutions. But some other ...

Program obfuscation is a semantic-preserving transformation aimed at bringing a program into a form that impedes understanding of its algorithm and data structures or prevents extracting certain valuable information from the text of the program. Since obfuscation may find wide use in computer security, information hiding and cryptography, security requirements to program obfuscators have become ...

An invariant-based approach to the verification of asynchronous parameterized networks
Zakharov V., Коннов И. В., Journal of symbolic computation 2010 Vol. 45 No. 11 P. 1144–1162
A uniform verification problem for parameterized systems is to determine whether a temporal property is satisfied for every instance of the system which is composed of an arbitrary number of homogeneous processes. To cope with this problem we combine an induction-based technique for invariant generation and conventional model checking of finite state systems. At the ...

It is well-known that the Dolev-Yao adversary is a powerful adversary. Besides acting as the network, intercepting, sending, and composing messages, he can remember as much information as he needs. That is, his memory is unbounded. We recently proposed a weaker Dolev-Yao like adversary, which also acts as the network, but whose memory is bounded. We ...
