‘Our Team Consists of True Leaders in Their Respective Academic Disciplines
The HSE International Centre of Decision Choice and Analysis studies a wide range of methods for analysing decision-making and possible scenarios for the development of natural, socio-economic, and political phenomena using various mathematical models. The application of advanced mathematical methods to forecasting helps to prevent negative outcomes and avoid erroneous decisions. The HSE News Service spoke to the centre’s director, Prof. Fuad Aleskerov, about its work.

International N5 Symposium ‘Neural Networks and Nonlinearity in Nizhny Novgorod Brings Together Scientists from Russia and Serbia
The International N5 Symposium ‘Neural Networks and Nonlinearity in Nizhny Novgorod’ was held at the Nizhny Novgorod House of Scientists from September 23 to 26. The event was organised by HSE University–Nizhny Novgorod and the Nizhny Novgorod House of Scientists, with the participation of Sberbank and the Institute of Physics Belgrade. The symposium was held for the second time: the first conference took place in 2025 and attracted considerable interest from the academic community.

On complexity of propositional linear-time temporal logic with finitely many variables

P. 313–316.
Rybakov M., Shkatov D.

It is known that both satisfiability and model-checking problems for propositional Linear-time Temporal Logic, LTL, with only a single propositional variable in the language are PSPACE-complete, which coincides with the complexity of these problems for LTL with an arbitrary number of propositional variables. In the present paper, we show that the same result can be obtained by modifying the original proof of PSPACE-hardness for LTL; i.e., we show how to modify the construction to model the computations of polynomially-space bound Turing machines using only formulas of one variable. We believe that our alternative proof gives additional insight into the semantic and computational properties of LTL.

Complexity of finite-variable fragments of propositional temporal and modal logics of computation
Rybakov M., Shkatov D., Theoretical Computer Science 2022 Vol. 925 P. 45–60
We prove that branching-time temporal logics CTL and CTL* are polynomial-time embeddable into their single-variable fragments. It follows that satisfiability for CTL and CTL*, and therefore also for alternating-time temporal logics ATL and ATL*, in languages with one propositional variable is as algorithmically hard as satisfiability for the full logic: EXPTIME-complete for CTL and ATL, and 2EXPTIME-complete for CTL* and ATL*. We discuss applicability of the technique used in the proofs to other ...

Sequential reactive systems are computer programs or hardware devices which process the flows of input data or control signals and output the streams of instructions or responses. When designing such systems one needs formal specification languages capable of expressing the relationships between the input and output flows. Previously, we introduced a family of such specification ...

First-order rewritability of ontology-mediated queries in linear temporal logic
Artale A., Kontchakov R., Kovtunova A. et al., Artificial Intelligence 2021 Vol. 299 Article 103536
We investigate ontology-based data access to temporal data. We consider temporal ontologies given in linear temporal logic LTL interpreted over discrete time . Queries are given in LTL or , monadic first-order logic with a built-in linear order. Our concern is first-order rewritability of ontology-mediated queries (OMQs) consisting of a temporal ontology and a query. By taking account of the temporal operators ...

Undecidability of the logic of partial quasiary predicates
Rybakov M., Shkatov D., Logic Journal of the IGPL 2022 Vol. 30 No. 3 P. 519–533
We obtain an effective embedding of the classical predicate logic into the logic of partial quasiary predicates. The embedding has the property that an image of a non-theorem of the classical logic is refutable in a model of the logic of partial quasiary predicates that has the same cardinality as the classical countermodel of the ...

Complexity of finite-variable fragments of products with K
Rybakov M., Shkatov D., Journal of Logic and Computation 2021 Vol. 31 No. 2 P. 426–443
It is shown that products and expanding relativized products of propositional modal logics where one component is the minimal monomodal logic K are polynomial-time reducible to their single-variable fragments. Therefore, the nown lower bound complexity and undecidability results for such logics are extended to their single-variable fragments. Similar results are obtained for products where one component is a polymodal logic with a K-style ...

Algorithmic properties of first-order modal logics of the natural number line in restricted languages
Rybakov M., Shkatov D., , in: Advances in Modal LogicVol. 13.: College Publications, 2020. P. 523–539.
We study algorithmic properties of first-order predicate monomodal logics of the natural number line in languages with restrictions on the number of individual variables as well as the number and arity of predicate letters. The languages we consider have no constants, function symbols, or the equality symbol. We show that satisfiability for the logics of is not arithmitical in languages ...

Complexity and expressivity of Branching- and Alternating-time temporal logics with finitely many variables
Rybakov M., Shkatov D., , in: Theoretical Aspects of Computing – ICTAC 2018Vol. 11187.: Springer, 2018. P. 396–414.
We show that Branching-time temporal logics CTL and CTL*, as well as Alternating-time temporal logics ATL and ATL*, are as semantically expressive in the language with a single propositional variable as they are in the full language, i.e., with an unlimited supply of propositional variables. It follows that satisfiability for CTL, as well as for ATL, with a single variable is EXPTIME-complete, ...

Algorithmic properties of modal logics with restricted languages
Rybakov M., University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2019.
Modal logics, both propositional and predicate, have been used in computer science since the late 1970s. One of the most important properties of modal logics of relevance to their applications in computer science is the complexity of their satisfiability problem. The complexity of satisfiability for modal logics is rather high: it ranges from NP-complete to ...
