We consider integration Clein–Gordon and Dirac equations in Bianchi IX cosmology model. Using the noncommutative integration method we found the new exact solutions for Taub universe.

Noncommutative integration method for Bianchi IX model is based on the use of the special infinite-dimensional holomorphic representation of the rotation group, which is based on the nondegenerate orbit adjoint representation, and complex polarization of degenerate covector. The matrix elements of the representation of form a complete and orthogonal set and allow you to use the generalized Fourier transform. Casimir operator for rotation group under this transformation becomes constant. And the symmetry operators generated by the Killing vector fields in the linear differential operators of the first order from one dependent variable. Thus, the relativistic wave equation on the rotation group allow non-commutative reduction to ordinary differential equations. In contrast to the well-known method of separation of variables, noncommutative integration method takes into account the non-Abelian algebra of symmetry operators and provides solutions that carry information about the non-commutative symmetry of the task. Such solutions can be useful for measuring the vacuum quantum effects and the calculation of the Green’s functions by the splitting-point method.

The work for the Taub model compared the solutions obtained with the known, which are obtained by separation of variables. It is shown that the non-commutative solutions are expressed in terms of elementary functions, while the known solutions are defined by the Wigner function. And commutative reduced by the Klein–Gordon equation for Taub model coincides with the equation, reduced by separation of variables. A commutative reduced by the Dirac equation is equivalent to the reduced equation obtained by separation of variables.

The paper deals with the problems of approximation of periodic functions of high smoothness by arithmetic means of Fourier sums. The simplest and natural example of a linear process of approximation of continuous periodic functions of a real variable is the approximation of these functions by partial sums of the Fourier series. However, the sequences of partial Fourier sums are not uniformly convergent over the entire class of continuous $2\pi$-periodic functions. In connection with this, a significant number of papers is devoted to the study of the approximative properties of other approximation methods, which are generated by certain transformations of the partial sums of Fourier series and allow us to construct sequences of trigonometrical polynomials that would be uniformly convergent for each function $f \in C$. In particular, over the past decades, de la Vallee Poussin sums and Fejer sums have been widely studied. One of the most important directions in this field is the study of the asymptotic behavior of upper bounds of deviations of arithmetic means of Fourier sums on different classes of periodic functions. Methods of investigation of integral representations of deviations of polynomials on the classes of periodic differentiable functions of real variable originated and received its development through the works of S.M. Nikol’sky, S.B. Stechkin, N.P. Korneichuk, V.K. Dzadyk, etc.

The aim of the work systematizes known results related to the approximation of classes of periodic functions of high smoothness by arithmetic means of Fourier sums, and presents new facts obtained for particular cases. In the paper is studied the approximative properties of $r$-repeated de la Vallee Poussin sums on the classes of periodic functions that can be regularly extended into the fixed strip of the complex plane. We obtain asymptotic formulas for upper bounds of the deviations of repeated de la Vallee Poussin sums taken over classes of periodic analytic functions. In certain cases, these formulas give a solution of the corresponding Kolmogorov–Nikolsky problem. We indicate conditions under which the repeated de la Vallee Poussin sums guarantee a better order of approximation than ordinary de la Vallee Poussin sums.

The paper describes a free software for research in the field of holomorphic dynamics based on the computational capabilities of the MATLAB environment. The software allows constructing not only single complex-valued mappings, but also their collectives as linearly connected, on a square or hexagonal lattice. In the first case, analogs of the Julia set (in the form of escaping points with color indication of the escape velocity), Fatou (with chaotic dynamics highlighting), and the Mandelbrot set generated by one of two free parameters are constructed. In the second case, only the dynamics of a cellular automaton with a complex-valued state of the cells and of all the coefficients in the local transition function is considered. The abstract nature of object-oriented programming makes it possible to combine both types of calculations within a single program that describes the iterated dynamics of one object.

The presented software provides a set of options for the field shape, initial conditions, neighborhood template, and boundary cells neighborhood features. The mapping display type can be specified by a regular expression for the MATLAB interpreter. This paper provides some UML diagrams, a short introduction to the user interface, and some examples.

The following cases are considered as example illustrations containing new scientific knowledge:

1) a linear fractional mapping in the form $Az^{n} +B/z^{n} $, for which the cases $n=2$, $4$, $n>1$, are known. In the portrait of the Fatou set, attention is drawn to the characteristic (for the classical quadratic mapping) figures of <>, showing short-period regimes, components of conventionally chaotic dynamics in the sea;

2) for the Mandelbrot set with a non-standard position of the parameter in the exponent $z(t+1)\Leftarrow z(t)^{\mu } $ sketch calculations reveal some jagged structures and point clouds resembling Cantor's dust, which are not Cantor's bouquets that are characteristic for exponential mapping. Further detailing of these objects with complex topology is required.

A direct algorithm for solving a linear programming problem (LP), given in canonical form, is considered. The algorithm consists of two successive stages, in which the following LP problems are solved by a direct method: a non-degenerate auxiliary problem at the first stage and some problem equivalent to the original one at the second. The construction of the auxiliary problem is based on a multiplicative version of the Gaussian exclusion method, in the very structure of which there are possibilities: identification of incompatibility and linear dependence of constraints; identification of variables whose optimal values are obviously zero; the actual exclusion of direct variables and the reduction of the dimension of the space in which the solution of the original problem is determined. In the process of actual exclusion of variables, the algorithm generates a sequence of multipliers, the main rows of which form a matrix of constraints of the auxiliary problem, and the possibility of minimizing the filling of the main rows of multipliers is inherent in the very structure of direct methods. At the same time, there is no need to transfer information (basis, plan and optimal value of the objective function) to the second stage of the algorithm and apply one of the ways to eliminate looping to guarantee final convergence.

Two variants of the algorithm for solving the auxiliary problem in conjugate canonical form are presented. The first one is based on its solution by a direct algorithm in terms of the simplex method, and the second one is based on solving a problem dual to it by the simplex method. It is shown that both variants of the algorithm for the same initial data (inputs) generate the same sequence of points: the basic solution and the current dual solution of the vector of row estimates. Hence, it is concluded that the direct algorithm is an algorithm of the simplex method type. It is also shown that the comparison of numerical schemes leads to the conclusion that the direct algorithm allows to reduce, according to the cubic law, the number of arithmetic operations necessary to solve the auxiliary problem, compared with the simplex method. An estimate of the number of iterations is given.

This paper presents algorithm for modeling set of trajectories of non-stationary time series, based on a numerical scheme for approximating the sample density of the distribution function in a problem with fixed ends, when the initial distribution for a given number of steps transforms into a certain final distribution, so that at each step the semigroup property of solving the Liouville equation is satisfied. The model makes it possible to numerically construct evolving densities of distribution functions during random switching of states of the system generating the original time series.

The main problem is related to the fact that with the numerical implementation of the left-hand differential derivative in time, the solution becomes unstable, but such approach corresponds to the modeling of evolution. An integrative approach is used while choosing implicit stable schemes with “going into the future”, this does not match the semigroup property at each step. If, on the other hand, some real process is being modeled, in which goal-setting presumably takes place, then it is desirable to use schemes that generate a model of the transition process. Such model is used in the future in order to build a predictor of the disorder, which will allow you to determine exactly what state the process under study is going into, before the process really went into it. The model described in the article can be used as a tool for modeling real non-stationary time series.

Steps of the modeling scheme are described further. Fragments corresponding to certain states are selected from a given time series, for example, trends with specified slope angles and variances. Reference distributions of states are compiled from these fragments. Then the empirical distributions of the duration of the system’s stay in the specified states and the duration of the transition time from state to state are determined. In accordance with these empirical distributions, a probabilistic model of the disorder is constructed and the corresponding trajectories of the time series are modeled.

A boundary value problem for partial differential equation with nonlocal boundary relations of special type is resolved by means of a slight modification of the separation of variables method. Ordinal differential operator of the second order subject to boundary conditions of the main problem is not self-adjoint. The system of eigenfunctions generated by the operator has no basis property in L₂[0,1] space. A special system of functions is proposed to expand the solution of the boundary value problem.

Equations of motion in Newtonian and Hamiltonian forms are used for classical molecular dynamics simulation of particle system time evolution. When Newton equations of motion are used for finding of particle coordinates and velocities in $N$-particle system it takes to solve $3N$ ordinary differential equations of second order at every time step. Traditionally numerical schemes of Verlet method are used for solving Newtonian equations of motion of molecular dynamics. A step of integration is necessary to decrease for Verlet numerical schemes steadiness conservation on sufficiently large time intervals. It leads to a significant increase of the volume of calculations. Numerical schemes of Verlet method with Hamiltonian conservation control (the energy of the system) at every time moment are used in the most software packages of molecular dynamics for numerical integration of equations of motion. It can be used two complement each other approaches to decrease of computational time in molecular dynamics calculations. The first of these approaches is based on enhancement and software optimization of existing software packages of molecular dynamics by using of vectorization, parallelization and special processor construction. The second one is based on the elaboration of efficient methods for numerical integration for equations of motion. A procedure for constructing of explicit, implicit and symmetric symplectic numerical schemes with given approximation accuracy in relation to integration step for solving of molecular dynamic equations of motion in Hamiltonian form is proposed in this work. The approach for construction of proposed in this work procedure is based on the following points: Hamiltonian formulation of equations of motion; usage of Taylor expansion of exact solution; usage of generating functions, for geometrical properties of exact solution conservation, in derivation of numerical schemes. Numerical experiments show that obtained in this work symmetric symplectic third-order accuracy scheme conserves basic properties of the exact solution in the approximate solution. It is more stable for approximation step and conserves Hamiltonian of the system with more accuracy at a large integration interval then second order Verlet numerical schemes.

In present paper we reexamine the properties of CABARET numerical scheme formulated for a weakly compressible fluid flow basing the results of free shear layer modeling. Kelvin–Helmholtz instability and successive generation of two-dimensional turbulence provide a wide field for a scheme analysis including temporal evolution of the integral energy and enstrophy curves, the vorticity patterns and energy spectra, as well as the dispersion relation for the instability increment. The most part of calculations is performed for Reynolds number $\text{Re} = 4 \times 10^5$ for square grids sequentially refined in the range of $128^2-2048^2$ nodes. An attention is paid to the problem of underresolved layers generating a spurious vortex during the vorticity layers roll-up. This phenomenon takes place only on a coarse grid with $128^2$ nodes, while the fully regularized evolution pattern of vorticity appears only when approaching $1024^2$-node grid. We also discuss the vorticity resolution properties of grids used with respect to dimensional estimates for the eddies at the borders of the inertial interval, showing that the available range of grids appears to be sufficient for a good resolution of small–scale vorticity patches. Nevertheless, we claim for the convergence achieved for the domains occupied by large-scale structures.

The generated turbulence evolution is consistent with theoretical concepts imposing the emergence of large vortices, which collect all the kinetic energy of motion, and solitary small-scale eddies. The latter resemble the coherent structures surviving in the filamentation process and almost noninteracting with other scales. The dissipative characteristics of numerical method employed are discussed in terms of kinetic energy dissipation rate calculated directly and basing theoretical laws for incompressible (via enstrophy curves) and compressible (with respect to the strain rate tensor and dilatation) fluid models. The asymptotic behavior of the kinetic energy and enstrophy cascades comply with two-dimensional turbulence laws $E(k) \propto k^{−3}, \omega^2(k) \propto k^{−1}$. Considering the instability increment as a function of dimensionless wave number shows a good agreement with other papers, however, commonly used method of instability growth rate calculation is not always accurate, so some modification is proposed. Thus, the implemented CABARET scheme possessing remarkably small numerical dissipation and good vorticity resolution is quite competitive approach compared to other high-order accuracy methods

This paper is devoted to the application of the method of numerical solution of the Boltzmann equation for the solution of the problem of modeling the behavior of radionuclides in the cavity of the interelectric gap of a multielement electrogenerating channel. The analysis of gas-kinetic processes of thermionic converters is important for proving the design of the power-generating channel. The paper reviews two constructive schemes of the channel: with one- and two-way withdrawal of gaseous fission products into a vacuum-cesium system. The analysis uses a two-dimensional transport equation of the second-order accuracy for the solution of the left-hand side and the projection method for solving the right-hand side — the collision integral. In the course of the work, a software package was implemented that makes it possible to calculate on the cluster architecture by using the algorithm of parallelizing the left-hand side of the equation; the paper contains the results of the analysis of the dependence of the calculation efficiency on the number of parallel nodes. The paper contains calculations of data on the distribution of pressures of gaseous fission products in the gap cavity, calculations use various sets of initial pressures and flows; the dependency of the radionuclide pressure in the collector region was determined as a function of cesium pressures at the ends of the gap. The tests in the loop channel of a nuclear reactor confirm the obtained results.

Recently, saddle point problems have received much attention due to their powerful modeling capability for a lot of problems from diverse domains. Applications of these problems occur in many applied areas, such as robust optimization, distributed optimization, game theory, and many applications in machine learning such as empirical risk minimization and generative adversarial networks training. Therefore, many researchers have actively worked on developing numerical methods for solving saddle point problems in many different settings. This paper is devoted to developing a numerical method for solving saddle point problems in the nonconvex uniformly-concave setting. We study a general class of saddle point problems with composite structure and H\"older-continuous higher-order derivatives. To solve the problem under consideration, we propose an approach in which we reduce the problem to a combination of two auxiliary optimization problems separately for each group of variables, the outer minimization problem w.r.t. primal variables, and the inner maximization problem w.r.t the dual variables. For solving the outer minimization problem, we use the Adaptive Gradient Method, which is applicable for nonconvex problems and also works with an inexact oracle that is generated by approximately solving the inner problem. For solving the inner maximization problem, we use the Restarted Unified Acceleration Framework, which is a framework that unifies the high-order acceleration methods for minimizing a convex function that has H\"older-continuous higher-order derivatives. Separate complexity bounds are provided for the number of calls to the first-order oracles for the outer minimization problem and higher-order oracles for the inner maximization problem. Moreover, the complexity of the whole proposed approach is then estimated.
