Construction and modeling of the operation of elements of computing technology on fast neurons
Abstract
The article is devoted to the construction of fast neurons and neural networks for the implementation of two complete logical bases and modeling of computing devices on their basis. The main idea is to form a fast activation function based on semi-parabolas and its variations that have effective computational support. The constructed activation functions meet the basic requirements that allow configuring logical circuits using the backpropagation method. The main result is obtaining complete logical bases that open the way to constructing arbitrary logical functions. Models of such elements as a trigger, a half adder, and an adder, which form the basis of various specific computing devices, are presented and tested. It is shown that the new activation functions allow obtaining fast solutions with a slight decrease in quality compared to reference outputs. To standardize the outputs, it is proposed to combine the constructed circuits with a unit jump activation function.

On the algebraic properties of difference approximations of Hamiltonian systems
Abstract
In this paper, we examine difference approximations for dynamic systems characterized by polynomial Hamiltonians, specifically focusing on cases where these approximations establish birational correspondences between the initial and final states of the system. Difference approximations are commonly used numerical methods for simulating the evolution of complex systems, and when applied to Hamiltonian dynamics, they present unique algebraic properties due to the polynomial structure of the Hamiltonian. Our approach involves analyzing the conditions under which these approximations preserve key features of the Hamiltonian system, such as energy conservation and phase-space volume preservation. By investigating the algebraic structure of the birational mappings induced by these approximations, we aim to provide insights into the stability and accuracy of numerical simulations in identifying the true behavior of Hamiltonian systems. The results offer a framework for designing efficient and accurate numerical schemes that retain essential properties of polynomial Hamiltonian systems over time.

Analysis of the stochastic model “prey-migration area-predator-superpredator”
Abstract
Current research areas of dynamic migration and population models include the analysis of trajectory dynamics and solving parametric optimization problems using computer methods. In this paper we consider the population model “prey-migration area-predator-superpredator”, which is given by a system of four differential equations. The model takes into account trophic interactions, intraspecific and interspecific competition, as well as migration of the prey to the refuge. Using differential evolution parameters are found that ensure the coexistence of populations of prey, predator and superpredator, respectively, in the main habitat and the existence of a population of prey in a refuge. The transition to stochastic variants of the model based on additive noise, multiplicative noise and the method of constructing self-consistent models is performed. To describe the structure of the stochastic model the Fokker-Planck equations are used and a transition to a system of equations in the Langevin form is performed. Numerical solution of stochastic systems of differential equations is implemented by the Euler-Maruyama method. Computer experiments are conducted using a Python software package, and trajectories for deterministic and stochastic cases are constructed. A comparative analysis of deterministic model and corresponding stochastic models is carried out. The results can be used in solving problems of mathematical modeling of biological, ecological, physical, chemical and demographic processes.

Using NeuralPDE.jl to solve differential equations
Abstract
This paper describes the application of physics-informed neural network (PINN) for solving partial derivative equations. Physics Informed Neural Network is a type of deep learning that takes into account physical laws to solve physical equations more efficiently compared to classical methods. The solution of partial derivative equations (PDEs) is of most interest, since numerical methods and classical deep learning methods are inefficient and too difficult to tune in cases when the complex physics of the process needs to be taken into account. The advantage of PINN is that it minimizes a loss function during training, which takes into account the constraints of the system and th e laws of the domain. In this paper, we consider the solution of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and PDEs using PINN, and then compare the efficiency and accuracy of this solution method compared to classical methods. The solution is implemented in the Julia programming language. We use NeuralPDE.jl, a package containing methods for solving equations in partial derivatives using physics-based neural networks. The classical method for solving PDEs is implemented through the DifferentialEquations.jl library. As a result, a comparative analysis of the considered solution methods for ODEs and PDEs has been performed, and an evaluation of their performance and accuracy has been obtained. In this paper we have demonstrated the basic capabilities of the NeuralPDE.jl package and its efficiency in comparison with numerical methods.

Dark matter hypothesis and new possibilities of the Skyrme-Faddeev chiral model
Abstract
New possibilities of the 16-spinor realization of the Skyrme-Faddeev chiral model are discussed. Using gauge invariance principle, it is shown that there exist two independent ways for breaking the isotopic invariance symmetry. The first one concerns the interaction with the electromagnetic field (ordinary photons generated by the electric charge) and the second one includes the interaction with the new vector field (shadow/dark photons generated by the special neutrino charge). The neutrino oscillation phenomenon is explained.

Research of hieroglyphic signs using audiovisual digital analysis methods
Abstract
A study of ancient written texts and signs showed that the hieroglyphs and structure of the archaic sentence have much in common with the modern Chinese language. In the context of the history and evolution of the Chinese language, its characteristic tonality and melody are emphasized. The main focus of the work is on the study of the sound properties of hieroglyphs (keys / Chinese radicals) found simultaneously in ancient inscriptions as well as in modern text messages. The article uses modern digital methods of sound analysis with their simultaneous visualization. To characterize the sound of hieroglyphs (in accordance with the Pinyin phonetic transcription adopted in China), two (FI, FII), three (FI, FII, FIII) or four (FS, FI, FII, FIII) formants are used, which create a characteristic F-pattern. Our proposed model of four formants for typical hieroglyphs is called the basic one “F-model”, it’s new and original. To visualize the formants, digital audio signal processing programs were used. The data obtained were compared with the corresponding spectrograms for Mandarin (standard) Chinese. Their correspondence to each other has been established. When analyzing F-patterns, an original model was used, which made it possible to characterize spectrograms in the frequency and time domains. The formalized description of basic components of basic “F-model” of a pronunciation of hieroglyphs is given. In conclusion, several areas are noted in which the use of various methods of audiovisual research is promising: advanced innovative technologies (artificial intelligence and virtual reality); television, theatrical video production; evaluation of the quality of audiovisual content; educational process. The present study has shown that described promising research methods can be useful in analyzing similar ancient hieroglyphs.

Methods for developing and implementing large language models in healthcare: challenges and prospects in Russia
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) are transforming healthcare by enabling the analysis of clinical texts, supporting diagnostics, and facilitating decision-making. This systematic review examines the evolution of LLMs from recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to transformer-based and multimodal architectures (e.g., BioBERT, MedPaLM), with a focus on their application in medical practice and challenges in Russia. Based on 40 peer-reviewed articles from Scopus, PubMed, and other reliable sources (2019-2025), LLMs demonstrate high performance (e.g., Med-PaLM: F1-score 0.88 for binary pneumonia classification on MIMIC-CXR; Flamingo-CXR: 77.7% preference for in/outpatient X-ray re-ports). However, limitations include data scarcity, interpretability challenges, and privacy concerns. An adaptation of the Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture for rare disease diagnostics and automated radiology report generation achieved promising results on synthetic datasets. Challenges in Russia include limited annotated data and compliance with Federal Law No. 152-FZ. LLMs enhance clinical workflows by automating routine tasks, such as report generation and patient triage, with advanced models like KARGEN improving radiology report quality. Russia’s focus on AI-driven healthcare aligns with global trends, yet linguistic and infrastructural barriers necessitate tailored solutions. Developing robust validation frameworks for LLMs will ensure their reliability in diverse clinical scenarios. Collaborative efforts with international AI research communities could accelerate Russia’s adoption of advanced medical AI technologies, particularly in radiology automation. Prospects involve integrating LLMs with healthcare systems and developing specialized models for Russian medical contexts. This study provides a foundation for advancing AI-driven healthcare in Russia.
