In recent years, the use of neural network models for solving aerodynamics problems has become widespread. These models, trained on a set of previously obtained solutions, predict solutions to new problems. They are, in essence, interpolation algorithms. An alternative approach is to construct a neural network operator. This is a neural network that reproduces a numerical method used to solve a problem. It allows to find the solution in iterations. The paper considers the construction of such an operator using the UNet neural network with a spatial attention mechanism. It solves flow problems on a rectangular uniform grid that is common to a streamlined body and flow field. A correction mechanism is proposed to clarify the obtained solution. The problem of the stability of such an algorithm for solving a stationary problem is analyzed, and a comparison is made with other variants of its construction, including pushforward trick and positional encoding. The issue of selecting a set of iterations for forming a train dataset is considered, and the behavior of the solution is assessed using repeated use of a neural network operator.

A demonstration of the method is provided for the case of flow around a rounded plate with a turbulent flow, with various options for rounding, for fixed parameters of the incoming flow, with Reynolds number $\text{Re} = 10^5$ and Mach number $M = 0.15$. Since flows with these parameters of the incoming flow can be considered incompressible, only velocity components are directly studied. At the same time, the neural network model used to construct the operator has a common decoder for both velocity components. Comparison of flow fields and velocity profiles along the normal and outline of the body, obtained using a neural network operator and numerical methods, is carried out. Analysis is performed both on the plate and rounding. Simulation results confirm that the neural network operator allows finding a solution with high accuracy and stability.

The simplest and most desirable method of traffic signal control is precalculated regulation, when the parameters of the traffic light object operation are calculated in advance and activated in accordance to a schedule. This work proposes a method of forming a signal plan that allows one to calculate the control programs and set the period of their activity. Preparation of initial data for the calculation includes the formation of a time series of daily traffic intensity with an interval of 15 minutes. When carrying out field studies, it is possible that part of the traffic intensity measurements is missing. To fill up the missing traffic intensity measurements, the spline interpolation method is used. The next step of the method is to calculate the daily set of signal plans. The work presents the interdependencies, which allow one to calculate the optimal durations of the control cycle and the permitting phase movement and to set the period of their activity. The present movement control systems have a limit on the number of control programs. To reduce the signal plans' number and to determine their activity period, the clusterization using the $k$-means method in the transport phase space is introduced In the new daily signal plan, the duration of the phases is determined by the coordinates of the received cluster centers, and the activity periods are set by the elements included in the cluster. Testing on a numerical illustration showed that, when the number of clusters is 10, the deviation of the optimal phase duration from the cluster centers does not exceed 2 seconds. To evaluate the effectiveness of the developed methodology, a real intersection with traffic light regulation was considered as an example. Based on field studies of traffic patterns and traffic demand, a microscopic model for the SUMO (Simulation of Urban Mobility) program was developed. The efficiency assessment is based on the transport losses estimated by the time spent on movement. Simulation modeling of the multiprogram control of traffic lights showed a 20% reduction in the delay time at the traffic light object in comparison with the single-program control. The proposed method allows automation of the process of calculating daily signal plans and setting the time of their activity.

We investigate machine learning methods with a certain kind of decision rule. In particular, inverse-distance method of interpolation, method of interpolation by radial basis functions, the method of multidimensional interpolation and approximation, based on the theory of random functions, the last method of interpolation is kriging. This paper shows a method of rapid retraining “model” when adding new data to the existing ones. The term “model” means interpolating or approximating function constructed from the training data. This approach reduces the computational complexity of constructing an updated “model” from $O(n^3)$ to $O(n^2)$. We also investigate the possibility of a rapid assessment of generalizing opportunities “model” on the training set using the method of cross-validation leave-one-out cross-validation, eliminating the major drawback of this approach — the necessity to build a new “model” for each element which is removed from the training set.

This article explores a method of machine learning based on the theory of random functions. One of the main problems of this method is that decision rule of a model becomes more complicated as the number of training dataset examples increases. The decision rule of the model is the most probable realization of a random function and it's represented as a polynomial with the number of terms equal to the number of training examples. In this article we will show the quick way of the number of training dataset examples reduction and, accordingly, the complexity of the decision rule. Reducing the number of examples of training dataset is due to the search and removal of weak elements that have little effect on the final form of the decision function, and noise sampling elements. For each $(x_i,y_i)$-th element sample was introduced the concept of value, which is expressed by the deviation of the estimated value of the decision function of the model at the point $x_i$, built without the $i$-th element, from the true value $y_i$. Also we show the possibility of indirect using weak elements in the process of training model without increasing the number of terms in the decision function. At the experimental part of the article, we show how changed amount of data affects to the ability of the method of generalizing in the classification task.

The paper discusses the development and application of the accounting rectangular cell fullness method with material substance, in particular, a liquid, to increase the smoothness and accuracy of a finite-difference solution of hydrodynamic problems with a complex shape of the boundary surface. Two problems of computational hydrodynamics are considered to study the possibilities of the proposed difference schemes: the spatial-twodimensional flow of a viscous fluid between two coaxial semi-cylinders and the transfer of substances between coaxial semi-cylinders. Discretization of diffusion and convection operators was performed on the basis of the integro-interpolation method, taking into account taking into account the fullness of cells and without it. It is proposed to use a difference scheme, for solving the problem of diffusion – convection at large grid Peclet numbers, that takes into account the cell population function, and a scheme on the basis of linear combination of the Upwind and Standard Leapfrog difference schemes with weight coefficients obtained by minimizing the approximation error at small Courant numbers. As a reference, an analytical solution describing the Couette – Taylor flow is used to estimate the accuracy of the numerical solution. The relative error of calculations reaches 70% in the case of the direct use of rectangular grids (stepwise approximation of the boundaries), under the same conditions using the proposed method allows to reduce the error to 6%. It is shown that the fragmentation of a rectangular grid by 2–8 times in each of the spatial directions does not lead to the same increase in the accuracy that numerical solutions have, obtained taking into account the fullness of the cells. The proposed difference schemes on the basis of linear combination of the Upwind and Standard Leapfrog difference schemes with weighting factors of 2/3 and 1/3, respectively, obtained by minimizing the order of approximation error, for the diffusion – convection problem have a lower grid viscosity and, as a corollary, more precisely, describe the behavior of the solution in the case of large grid Peclet numbers.

An important role in the construction of mathematical models of dynamic systems is played by inverse problems, which in particular include the problem of parametric identification. Unlike classical models that operate with point values, interval models give upper and lower boundaries on the quantities under study. The paper considers an interpolation approach to solving interval problems of parametric identification of dynamic systems for the case when experimental data are represented by external interval estimates. The purpose of the proposed approach is to find such an interval estimate of the model parameters, in which the external interval estimate of the solution of the direct modeling problem would contain experimental data or minimize the deviation from them. The approach is based on the adaptive interpolation algorithm for modeling dynamic systems with interval uncertainties, which makes it possible to explicitly obtain the dependence of phase variables on system parameters. The task of minimizing the distance between the experimental data and the model solution in the space of interval boundaries of the model parameters is formulated. An expression for the gradient of the objectivet function is obtained. On a representative set of tasks, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated.

While modeling seismic wave propagation, it is important to take into account nontrivial topography, as this topography causes multiple complex phenomena, such as diffraction at rough surfaces, complex propagation of Rayleigh waves, and side effects caused by wave interference. The primary goal of this research is to construct a method that implements the free surface on topography, utilizing an overset curved grid for characterization, while keeping the main grid structured rectangular. For a combination of the regular and curve-linear grid, the workability of the grid characteristics method using overset grids (also known as the Chimera grid approach) is analyzed. One of the benefits of this approach is computational complexity reduction, caused by the fact that simulation in a regular, homogeneous physical area using a sparse regular rectangle grid is simpler. The simplification of the mesh building mechanism (one grid is regular, and the other can be automatically built using surface data) is a side effect. Despite its simplicity, the method we propose allows us to increase the digitalization of fractured regions and minimize the Courant number. This paper contains various comparisons of modeling results produced by the proposed method-based solver, and results produced by the well-known solver specfem2d, as well as previous modeling results for the same problems. The drawback of the method is that an interpolation error can worsen an overall model accuracy and reduce the computational schema order. Some countermeasures against it are described. For this paper, only two-dimensional models are analyzed. However, the method we propose can be applied to the three-dimensional problems with minimal adaptation required.

In traditional CNC systems, each segment of a piecewise linear trajectory is described by a separate block of the control program. In this case, a trapezoidal trajectory of movement is formed, and the stitching of individual sections is carried out at zero values of speed and acceleration. Increased productivity is associated with continuous processing, which in modern CNC systems is achieved through the use of spline interpolation. For a piecewise linear trajectory, which is basic for most products, the most appropriate is a first-degree spline. However, even in the simplest case of spline interpolation, the closed nature of the basic software from leading manufacturers of CNC systems limits the capabilities of not only developers, but also users. Taking this into account, the purpose of this work is a detailed study of the structural organization and operation algorithms of the simulation model of piecewise linear spline interpolation. Limitations on jerk and acceleration are considered as the main measure to reduce dynamic processing errors. In this case, special attention is paid to the S-shaped shape of the speed curve in the acceleration and deceleration sections. This is due to the conditions for the implementation of spline interpolation, one of which is the continuity of movement, which is ensured by the equality of the first and second derivatives when joining sections of the trajectory. Such a statement corresponds to the principles of implementing combined control systems of a servo electric drive, which provide partial invariance to control and disturbing effects. The reference model of a spline interpolator is adopted as the basis of the structural organization. The issues of processing scaling, which are based on a decrease in the vector speed in relation to the base value, are also considered. This allows increasing the accuracy of movements. It is shown that the range of changes in the speed of movements can be more than ten thousand, and is limited only by the speed control capabilities of the actuators.

The given work is devoted aerodynamic properties of system of the bodies which are flowed round by a supersonic stream. The question on reduction of mutual influence with increase in the size characterising scattering of elements of system is considered. The method of construction of a grid is applied to current modeling from a set of grids. One of grids, regular with rectangular cells, is responsible for an interference between bodies
and serves for the description of an external nonviscous current. Other grids are  connected with surfaces of streamline bodies and allow to describe viscous layers about streamline bodies. These grids are imposed on the first, without combination of any knots. Boundary conditions are realized through interpolation of functions on borders from one grid on another.
