Topics covered in this work include:
· Algorithmic aspects of problems with disjoint cycles in graphs
· Graphs where maximal cliques and stable sets intersect

We say that a graph G has the CIS-property and call it a CIS-graph if every maximal clique and every maximal stable set of G intersects.
By definition, G is a CIS-graph if and only if the complementary graph \(\overline {G}\) is a CIS-graph. Let us substitute a vertex v of a graph G′ by a graph G″ and denote the obtained graph by G. It is also easy to ...

In this paper, we construct strong approximations for discrete-time Markov chains weakly converging to continuous diffusion processes, as well as for their perturbed counterparts. Under the assumption of bounded coefficients, we construct closely coupled versions of these processes on a shared probability space. In particular, for both non-degenerate and degenerate cases, we maximize the probability ...

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. ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

We study Blaschke--Santal{ó}-type inequalities for N>=2 sets (functions) and a special class of cost functions. In particular, we prove new results about reduction of the maximization problem for the Blaschke--Santal{ó}-type functional to homogeneous case (functional inequalities on the sphere) and extend the symmetrization argument to the case of N>2 sets.
We also discuss links to the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. ...

В работе приводится обобщение локальной предельной теоремы о сходимости неоднородных цепей Маркова к диффузионному пределу на случай, когда соответ- ствующие коэффициенты процессов удовлетворяют слабым условиям регулярности и совпадают лишь асимптотически. В частности, рассматриваемые нами коэффици- енты сноса могут быть неограниченными с не более чем линейным ростом, а оценки отражают перенос терминального состояния неограниченным трендом через ...

The torsion index of split simple groups has been extensively studied, notably by Totaro, who calculated the torsion indexes of the spin groups and $E_{8}$ in [5] and [6], respectively. The aim of this paper is to provide upper bounds for the torsion index of half-spin groups, the only remaining case in the calculation of ...

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. Neural networks have emerged as powerful tools for medical image ...

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. ...

Modeling protein folding, which is the process by which a protein obtains its spacial shape, still remains a challenging problem. Protein geometry might be simplified by using the coarse-grained models. The highest level of simplification is achieved in HP-models where only polarity of amino acid residues is considered, and the unified monomers are located in nodes ...
