Population Lifespan Is Governed by Mathematical Laws
Researchers at HSE University and MSU have established a universal law governing the time to extinction of a population in a random environment. Their analysis of the evolution of branching processes—complex probabilistic systems—shows that, regardless of the initial population size, extinction follows strict mathematical laws. The results have been published in the Journal of Applied Probability.

Sociologists: Conservative Consumers Dominate Russian Middle Class
The Russian middle class cannot be regarded as a homogeneous and uniformly stable social group. Similar income levels often mask significant differences in financial strategies, lifestyles, and levels of economic security. This is the conclusion reached by sociologists at HSE University. The study has been published in Voprosy Ekonomiki.

A new polynomial-time algorithm for calculating upper bounds on resource usage for RCPSP problem

P. 22–25.
Lazarev A. A., Dmitry Arkhipov D. I., Battaia O. O.

The Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) is considered. This problem is NP-hard in strong sense (Garey and Johnson 1975). In this paper, a new polynomial-time approach is developed to find an upper bound on resource consumption. This bound can be also used to calaculate a lower bound for makespan. The procedure also helps to increase the efficiency of existed propagators and to improve constraint programming model performances by tightening decision variables domains.

This research extends the interpolation approach to approximating the objective function value for the minimization maximum lateness problem. The interpolation approach is defined using a special objective function Lmax(α), which is proven to be continuous and depends only on α transform coefficient. Such a function is proven to be monotonically increasing, and this property is ...

In this paper we address the problem of node allocation for high performance computer systems based on the Angara interconnect with the torus topology. Most allocation strategies for the torus topologies assume redundancy, i.e. for a user job it is possible to allocate more nodes than required. We propose the new node allocation algorithm for ...

This paper studies the usage of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) for uplink transmissions in IEEE 802.11ax networks. OFDMA enables simultaneous multi-user transmissions in Wi-Fi, but its usage requires efficient resource allocation algorithms. These algorithms should be able to adapt to the changing channel conditions, including the frequency-selective fading. This paper presents an OFDMA ...
