Currently, a significant development has been observed in the direction of distributed computing theory, where computational tasks are solved collectively by resource-constrained devices. In practice, this scenario is implemented when processing data in Internet of Things systems, with the aim of reducing system latency and network infrastructure load, as data is processed on edge network computing devices. However, the rapid growth and widespread adoption of IoT systems raise questions about the need to develop methods for reducing the resource intensity of computations. The resource constraints of computing devices pose the following issues regarding the distribution of computational resources: firstly, the necessity to account for the transit cost between different devices solving various tasks; secondly, the necessity to consider the resource cost associated directly with the process of distributing computational resources, which is particularly relevant for groups of autonomous devices such as drones or robots. An analysis of modern publications available in open access demonstrated the absence of proposed models or methods for distributing computational resources that would simultaneously take into account all these factors, making the creation of a new mathematical model for organizing distributed computing in IoT systems and its solution methods topical. This article proposes a novel mathematical model for distributing computational resources along with heuristic optimization methods, providing an integrated approach to implementing distributed computing in IoT systems. A scenario is considered where there exists a leader device within a group that makes decisions concerning the allocation of computational resources, including its own, for distributed task resolution involving information exchanges. It is also assumed that no prior knowledge exists regarding which device will assume the role of leader or the migration paths of computational tasks across devices. Experimental results have shown the effectiveness of using the proposed models and heuristics: achieving up to a 52% reduction in resource costs for solving computational problems while accounting for data transit costs, saving up to 73% of resources through supplementary criteria optimizing task distribution based on minimizing fragment migrations and distances, and decreasing the resource cost of resolving the computational resource distribution problem by up to 28 times with reductions in distribution quality up to 10%.

The effectiveness of communication and data transmission systems (CSiPS), which are an integral part of modern systems in almost any field of science and technology, largely depends on the stability of the frequency of the generated signals. The signals generated in the CSiPD can be considered as processes, the frequency of which changes under the influence of a combination of external influences. Changing the frequency of the signals leads to a decrease in the signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) and, consequently, a deterioration in the characteristics of the signal-to-noise ratio, such as the probability of a bit error and bandwidth. It is most convenient to consider the description of such changes in the frequency of signals as random processes, the apparatus of which is widely used in the construction of mathematical models describing the functioning of systems and devices in various fields of science and technology. Moreover, in many cases, the characteristics of a random process, such as the distribution law, mathematical expectation, and variance, may be unknown or known with errors that do not allow us to obtain estimates of the signal parameters that are acceptable in accuracy. The article proposes an algorithm for solving the problem of determining the characteristics of a random process (signal frequency) based on a set of samples of its frequency, allowing to determine the sample mean, sample variance and the distribution law of frequency deviations in the general population. The basis of this algorithm is the comparison of the values of the observed random process measured over a certain time interval with a set of the same number of random values formed on the basis of model distribution laws. Distribution laws based on mathematical models of these systems and devices or corresponding to similar systems and devices can be considered as model distribution laws. When forming a set of random values for the accepted model distribution law, the sample mean value and variance obtained from the measurement results of the observed random process are used as mathematical expectation and variance. The feature of the algorithm is to compare the measured values of the observed random process ordered in ascending or descending order and the generated sets of values in accordance with the accepted models of distribution laws. The results of mathematical modeling illustrating the application of this algorithm are presented.

Moreover, transformation of probe fluorescence spectra is at each time moment. Spectrum maximum shift, and its form change. At a time, the immobilized dye dimers greatly impact to formation of end fluorescence spectrum. Well correlation between experimental and theoretical results confirms reality of the obtained data.

In this paper we consider various models of hydraulic hysteresis in invasive mercury porosimetry. For simulating the hydraulic hysteresis is used isotropic site percolation on three-dimensional square lattices with $(1,\,\pi)$-neighborhood.

The implementation of the percolation model is based on libraries SPSL and SECP, released under license GNU GPL-3 using the free programming language R.

In this paper on the basis of the riverbed model proposed earlier the one-dimensional stability problem of closed flow channel with sandy bed is solved. The feature of the investigated problem is used original equation of riverbed deformations, which takes into account the influence of mechanical and granulometric bed material characteristics and the bed slope when riverbed analyzing. Another feature of the discussed problem is the consideration together with shear stress influence normal stress influence when investigating the riverbed instability. The analytical dependence determined the wave length of fast-growing bed perturbations is obtained from the solution of the sandy bed stability problem for closed flow channel. The analysis of the obtained analytical dependence is performed. It is shown that the obtained dependence generalizes the row of well-known empirical formulas: Coleman, Shulyak and Bagnold. The structure of the obtained analytical dependence denotes the existence of two hydrodynamic regimes characterized by the Froude number, at which the bed perturbations growth can strongly or weakly depend on the Froude number. Considering a natural stochasticity of the waves movement process and the presence of a definition domain of the solution with a weak dependence on the Froude numbers it can be concluded that the experimental observation of the of the bed waves movement development should lead to the data acquisition with a significant dispersion and it occurs in reality.

Dynamic game theoretic models of the corporative innovative development are investigated. The proposed models are based on concordance of private and public interests of agents. It is supposed that the structure of interests of each agent includes both private (personal interests) and public (interests of the whole company connected with its innovative development first) components. The agents allocate their personal resources between these two directions. The system dynamics is described by a difference (not differential) equation. The proposed model of innovative development is studied by simulation and the method of enumeration of the domains of feasible controls with a constant step. The main contribution of the paper consists in comparative analysis of efficiency of the methods of hierarchical control (compulsion or impulsion) for information structures of Stackelberg or Germeier (four structures) by means of the indices of system compatibility. The proposed model is a universal one and can be used for a scientifically grounded support of the programs of innovative development of any economic firm. The features of a specific company are considered in the process of model identification (a determination of the specific classes of model functions and numerical values of its parameters) which forms a separate complex problem and requires an analysis of the statistical data and expert estimations. The following assumptions about information rules of the hierarchical game are accepted: all players use open-loop strategies; the leader chooses and reports to the followers some values of administrative (compulsion) or economic (impulsion) control variables which can be only functions of time (Stackelberg games) or depend also on the followers’ controls (Germeier games); given the leader’s strategies all followers simultaneously and independently choose their strategies that gives a Nash equilibrium in the followers’ game. For a finite number of iterations the proposed algorithm of simulation modeling allows to build an approximate solution of the model or to conclude that it doesn’t exist. A reliability and efficiency of the proposed algorithm follow from the properties of the scenario method and the method of a direct ordered enumeration with a constant step. Some comprehensive conclusions about the comparative efficiency of methods of hierarchical control of innovations are received.

Modern approach to modernization of the experimental techniques involves design of mathematical models of the wind-tunnel, which are also referred to as Electronic of Digital Wind-Tunnels. They are meant to supplement experimental data with computational analysis. Using Electronic Wind-Tunnels is supposed to provide accurate information on aerodynamic performance of an aircraft basing on a set of experimental data, to obtain agreement between data from different test facilities and perform comparison between computational results for flight conditions and data with the presence of support system and test section.

Completing this task requires some preliminary research, which involves extensive wind-tunnel testing as well as RANS-based computational research with the use of supercomputer technologies. At different stages of computational investigation one may have to model not only the aircraft itself but also the wind-tunnel test section and the model support system. Modelling such complex geometries will inevitably result in quite complex vertical and separated flows one will have to simulate. Another problem is that boundary layer transition is often present in wind-tunnel testing due to quite small model scales and therefore low Reynolds numbers.

In the current article the first stage of the Electronic Wind-Tunnel design program is covered. This stage involves computational investigation of aerodynamic characteristics of the generic flying-wing UAV model previously tested in TsAGI T-102 wind-tunnel. Since this stage is preliminary the model was simulated without taking test-section and support system geometry into account. The boundary layer was considered to be fully turbulent.

For the current research FlowVision computational code was used because of its automatic grid generation feature and stability of the solver when simulating complex flows. A two-equation k–ε turbulence model was used with special wall functions designed to properly capture flow separation. Computed lift force and drag force coefficients for different angles-of-attack were compared to the experimental data.
