A stochastic model of the optimal functional extrapolator of a fractal L–Markov process with a quasi-rational spectrum is constructed. When developing the model, methods of spectral and fractal analysis of random processes, the theory of functions of a complex variable, methods for calculating stochastic integrals, and the theory of stochastic differential–difference equations connecting processes with a quasi-rational spectrum with processes with a rational spectrum were used.; as well as an original technique for constructing spectral characteristics of extrapolation, developed by the famous mathematician A. Yaglom. Using the Levinson–McKean theorem, it is established that the random processes studied in this paper are L–Markovian in nature. The fulfillment of the conditions of Mandelbrot's theorem on the shape of the spectral density of fractal random processes, as well as the values of the Hearst exponents and the fractality index, suggest that the random process under study is fractal and, moreover, persistent. It is proved that the optimal extrapolator constructed over the entire past of the process can be represented as the sum of a linear combination of the values of the process itself at three time points in the case of 0 < τ < 1 and at two time points in the case of 1 < τ < 2 and an integral with an exponentially decaying weight function extended to (– ∞; ∞). In the first case, the L – boundary of the L–Markov process under study consists of three points L = {t; t – 2; t + τ – 2}, and in the second case it consists of two points L = {t; t + τ – 2}, where τ is the lead time.

This paper describes a virtualized environment designed to conduct comprehensive experiments involving peer-to-peer networks and information security algorithms. The architecture is based on integrating the VMware hypervisor with the EVE-NG network device emulation platform, providing flexible resource allocation and realistic topology simulation. A MikroTik router serves as the central node, enabling a “star-shaped” scheme of interaction among virtual machines running various operating systems (Windows 7, 10, 11, Linux Debian). The chosen configuration simplifies testing the multiple initial connections and multi-level cryptography algorithms, ensures stable routing, and supports further automation of software installation using Bash or PowerShell scripts.

Introduction: Mobile Gaming Addiction (MGA) has emerged as a significant public health concern, with the World Health Organization recognizing it as a gaming disorder. Russia, with its growing mobile gaming market, is no exception. Aims and Objectives: This study aims to explore the feasibility of using neural networks for early MGA detection and intervention, with a focus on the Russian context. The primary objective is to develop and evaluate a neural network-based model for identifying behavioral patterns associated with MGA. Methods: A proof of concept study was conducted, employing a simplified neural network architecture and a dataset of 101 observations. The model's performance was evaluated using standard metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC-ROC score. Results: The study demonstrated the potential of neural networks in detecting MGA, achieving an F1-score of 0.75. However, the relatively low AUC-ROC score (0.58) highlights the need for addressing dataset limitations. Conclusion: This study contributes to the growing body of literature on MGA, emphasizing the importance of considering regional nuances and addressing dataset limitations. The findings suggest promising avenues for future research, including dataset expansion, advanced neural architectures, and region-specific mobile applications.

For neural network algorithms to work successfully when processing 3D point clouds, it is necessary to provide a detailed point cloud of the external environment. A similar task arises when a manipulative robot is operating in a new environment, where before processing a cloud of scene points, it is necessary to obtain a detailed representation of the external environment using an RGB-D camera mounted on the end link of the robot. To solve this problem, this study proposes an algorithm for adaptive control of a manipulative robot to build a model of the external environment. By applying an adaptive approach, during the research of the external environment, the manipulative robot moves the RGB-D camera, taking into account the changes in the current environment model introduced by the previous RGB-D image. The results obtained allow us to judge the effectiveness of the proposed approach, showing that due to adaptability, it allows us to achieve high scene coverage rates.

This article examines the key features of the functional planning and architectural spatial organization of the typological group of public buildings and structures in the renovation of industrial buildings in coastal areas in order to create promising models of two different types of multifunctional spaces: creative clusters and multifunctional complexes. Both approaches take advantage of the structural and spatial advantages of these buildings while simultaneously implementing modern architectural and environmental techniques. For both types of renovation, adaptive space reuse, integration of green elements, sustainable energy solutions, increased accessibility, and preservation of industrial heritage are common methods. The specific changes for creative clusters include the transformation of the main workshops into flexible exhibition and cultural spaces, the inclusion of artistic elements and the creation of public areas. Conversely, multifunctional complexes turn these spaces into office areas, coworking areas, commercial premises and residential apartments. Overall, these renovation models not only revitalize the physical environment, but also contribute to the cultural, social and economic development of coastal urban areas, creating an incentive for future urban renewal projects.

The article presents the results of static and dynamic calculations of a 14-storey administrative building with two underground floors. The building is located in the city of Sochi. The seismicity of the construction area is 9 points. As a result of calculations under seismic influence, characteristic isofields of movements of the building system in different directions, stress isofields in load-bearing monolithic reinforced concrete floors, and force plots in core elements were obtained. According to the results of the verification calculations of the load-bearing reinforced concrete structures of the building frame, it was revealed that the strength of the individual columns of the underground floors of the building is not ensured. Options for reinforcing columns using various options are presented: classic reinforced concrete cage, metal cage, pasting with composite tapes, steel-reinforced concrete cage. As a result of comparing all reinforcement options, the most optimal reinforcement option was adopted from the point of view of technology, economic feasibility and strength parameters.

The paper presents a simulation of flight control of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). A distributed control system is proposed that sequentially includes internal and external circuits to control the state of motion of the aircraft. The control efficiency of a cascade PD controller (proportional-differential) is higher than that of a traditional PID controller (proportional-integral-differentiating). A new cascade control algorithm with a PD controller is proposed. First, the dynamics of the UAV is modeled based on the Newton-Euler method, then the state of motion of the device is controlled by a distributed control system based on cascaded levels of proportional derivatives of the internal and external contours. The simulation results show that the controller, developed on the basis of proportional-derivative control speed of internal and external circuits, is able to achieve fast tracking of the position and orientation of the UAV in case of external disturbances and has good control quality. The developed algorithm has increased the control efficiency by 5-7% compared to the traditional PID algorithm.
