On the existence of a positive solution to a boundary-value problem for a nonlinear second-order functional differential equation
Abstract
In this paper, we consider a boundary-value problem for a second-order nonlinear functional-differential equation with a strong nonlinearity on the interval with integral boundary conditions. Using special topological tools, we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique positive solution of the problem. The existence of a positive solution is proved by applying the well-known cone dilation theorem, and the uniqueness is established by using the uniqueness principle for convex operators. An example is given, which illustrates the fulfillment of sufficient conditions for the unique solvability of the problem.



An analog of the Gauss–Aleksandrov theorem about the area of the spherical image of a nonconvex polyhedral angle without singularities
Abstract
In this paper, we formulate the definitions of еру spherical image, the area of the spherical image, and the implementation curvature for a class of polyhedral angles without singularities. Also, we prove a theorem on the equality of the area of the spherical image and the implementation curvature of a polyhedral angle from a distinguished class.



On the spectrum of hierarchical Schrödinger-type operators acting on a Cantor-like set
Abstract
This paper is written within the project “On the spectrum of hierarchical Schrödinger-type operators” joint with A. Grigor’yan (Bielefeld University) and S. Molchanov (University of North Carolina at Charlotte) and continues the studies started earlier.



On the differential geometry of complexes of two-dimensional planes of the projective space Pn containing a finite number of torsos and characterized by the configuration of their characteristic lines
Abstract
This paper is devoted to the differential geometry of complexes of two-dimensional planes in the projective space containing a finite number of torsos. We find a necessary condition under which the complex contains a finite number of torsos, examine the properties of complexes of two-dimensional planes, which are determined by a special configuration of characteristic straight torsos belonging to the complex, and establish the structure and conditions for the existence of such complexes. The self-duality of such complexes is determined.



Electrodynamics in complex space
Abstract
In this paper, we examine the complex space-time realized in the biquaternion algebra and the Maxwell and Lorentz equations in this formalism. Also, we prove a theorem on the identity of magnetic monopoles and tachyons carrying an electric charge.



Spanning forests and special numbers
Abstract
In this paper, we discuss enumerating some graphs of a special type. New results on the number of spanning forests of graphs playing an important role in information theory are obtained. We consider properties of convergent spanning forests of directed graphs involved in the construction of the quasi-metric of the mean time of the first pass, which is a generalized metric structure closely related to ergodic homogeneous Markov chains. We examine characteristics of spanning root forests and convergent spanning forests of directed and undirected graphs that are used for constructing the matrix of relative forest availability, which is one of the proximity measures of vertices of graphs. The reasonings are illustrated by several simple graph models, including a simple path, a simple cycle, a caterpillar graph, and their oriented analogs.



First boundary-value problem for the Aller–Lykov equation with the Caputo fractional derivative
Abstract
In this paper, we examine boundary-value problems for the inhomogeneous humidity transport equation with variable coefficients and the Caputo fractional derivative in time. Using the method of energy inequalities, we obtain a priori estimates for solutions of the first and third boundary-value problems, which imply the uniqueness and stability of solutions.



Stabilization of stationary motions of a satellite near the center of mass in a geomagnetic field. II
Abstract
In this paper, we consider problems of stabilization of stationary motions (equilibrium positions and regular precessions) of a satellite near the center of mass in gravitational and magnetic fields under the assumption that the center of mass moves in a circular orbit. Mathematical models of the problems considered are systems of differential equations with periodic coefficients. We present a rigorous analytical approach to this problem, which allows efficient and correct construction of stabilization algorithms. The method is based on the reducibility of nonstationary systems that describe these problems to stationary systems. Solutions for a number of problems of stabilizing stationary motions of a satellite with the help of magnetic systems are proposed. We present the results of mathematical modeling of the algorithms, which confirm the effectiveness of the developed methodology. This paper is the second part of the work.

Almost geodesic curves and geodesic mappings
Abstract
In this paper, we present some results obtained for almost geodesic curves and geodesic mappings and transformations. We prove that a mapping under which all almost geodesic curves pass to almost geodesic curves is geodesic. Under geodesic mappings and transformations, almost geodesic curves are preserved.



On noncomposite RR-polyhedra of the second type
Abstract
The problem of the existence of one class of closed convex polyhedra in — the so-called noncomposite -polyhedra — is examined. The existence test consists of finding an equation which implies the existence of a polyhedron and allows one to find the angle of rhombuses at a rhombic vertex.



Difference schemes of the finite element method of increased accuracy for solving nonstationary equations
Abstract
Based on the finite element method with piecewise-cubic interpolation, we construct and examine three-parameter difference schemes of increased accuracy for a second-order ordinary differential equation. Stability and convergence of difference schemes are proved and accuracy estimates are obtained. The schemes proposed are tested and compared in computing experiments.



Spontaneous clustering in Markov chains. II. Mesofractal model
Abstract
In the second part of the review, we apply theoretical principles developed in the first part to analysing statistical characteristics of clustering the observed distribution of galaxies in the visible part of the Universe. In contrast to the standard approach to solving the dynamic problem of clustering gravitational plasma based on systems of differential equations that describe the plasma as a continuous medium, we use the Ornstein–Zernike integral equation for a system of randomly distributed points whose interaction is described by an appropriate choice of the kernel of the Ornstein–Zernike equation for the two-particle correlation function. Within the framework of this “mesofractal” model, we find a 4-parameter representation of the spectrum of fluctuation power, which allows one to determine statistical parameters of the medium from the observed data.
