The problem of computing symmetric Hadamard matrices of the Balonin-Siberry construction is considered. To obtain such matrices, a large number of random binary sequences are required to select three of them, which are bound by the requirements of the matrix design. Such sequences are the first rows of three cyclic blocks of Hadamard matrices. The background of the emergence of quantum computing and the advantage of quantum generation of binary sequences for subsequent selection are considered. The calculation of Hadamard matrices is proposed as a test problem for quantum computers, which allows to show quantum superiority.

The purpose of this study was to assess the forest exploitation conditions of the central forestries of the Republic of Karelia and the Murmansk region. To do this, data were collected for 27 central forestries of the study region, representing 20 variables characterizing indicators of wood resources, natural production conditions and road infrastructure. The assessment of forest exploitation conditions was carried out on the basis of the developed system of indicators, which includes 5 indicators: the value of the exploitation fund; the representativeness of the territory to the natural conditions of growth of deciduous species and the level of allowable cutting area for softwood farming; representativeness of the territory with favorable natural and production conditions in the study region; size of allowable cuts for coniferous economy; and the quality of the road network. The indicators were factors extracted by the method of principal axes in the process of factor analysis. Factors explained 81.4% of the total variance of the 20 variables initially selected. The results of the study showed that two groups of forest areas are distinguished in terms of the average forest reserve: the forest areas of the Murmansk region, which are characterized by a low average reserve, and the forest areas of the Republic of Karelia. Four central forestries located in the southern part of the Republic of Karelia are distinguished by the level of reserves in the forests of deciduous tree species and the level of allowable cut for deciduous farming. The most favorable natural and production conditions are forest areas located in the southern part of the Republic of Karelia.

The operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as well as their compactness and ease of use, allow them to be actively used in various conditions and situations. UAVs have a number of parameters, from remotely piloted to fully automated, including the degree of their autonomy, as well as design and purpose. AIS transponders receive and process AIS signals, receiving at the output messages about the name of the vessel, data on the course, speed and current navigation status with the display of its location on an electronic map. The use of an open data transfer protocol in AIS makes it vulnerable when false signals (LS) appear in traffic containing distorted information with the display of false targets on the screens of AIS monitors, which can lead to navigation accidents. The purpose of the article is to develop proposals for the detection and identification of AIS UAVs. The paper analyzes the possibility of the formation of an AIS UAV, considers approaches to solving the problems of detecting and identifying drugs and suggests methods for their implementation of technical analysis of radio signals.

The article discusses commodity futures price forecasting using a temporal convolutional network. Commodity futures forecasting is an important task for investors and traders because it allows you to predict future prices and the direction of the market. Commodity futures forecasting can be done using a variety of methods and approaches. One such approach is the use of deep learning models, which consists in predicting futures quotes using artificial neural networks. There are many types of neural networks, among them the most popular for the task of processing time series are recurrent neural networks. However, recurrent neural networks have certain disadvantages that a temporal convolutional network does not have. The temporal convolutional network architecture has unique features such as parallel processing of data, extraction of short- and long-term dependencies, and extraction of important features on different time scales. An experiment was conducted to assess the accuracy of predicting the closing price of seven commodity futures using a temporary convolutional network and an ARIMA statistical model with automatic selection of parameters. As a result of the experiment, it was revealed that the temporary convolutional network is superior to the statistical ARIMA model and is a very effective model for forecasting commodity futures. However, despite the high potential of the proposed forecasting model, it is also important to take into account various other analytical methods, such as fundamental analysis and expert opinion.

Prompt adjustment of the composition of the asphalt concrete mixture is key to achieving high quality asphalt concrete. To enable easy and rapid adjustment of the asphalt concrete mixture formulation, predicting the properties of asphalt concrete (Marshall stability) is critically important. There are many methods for predicting the properties of asphalt concrete, but the choice of one method or another is a very pressing problem. This article proposes two methods for forecasting Marshall stability: forecasting using a multiple linear regression model and forecasting using an autoregressive model. To evaluate the forecasting accuracy of models, we use two metrics: average absolute error (MAE) and average absolute percentage error (MAPE). The results of the study show that the autoregressive model exhibits better forecasting results, especially the second-order autoregressive model.

To improve the efficiency of low-orbit satellite Internet systems (LOSIS) and ensure high apeed of data exchange, systems supporting orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) technology are widely used. The use of OFDM methods makes it possible to expand the bandwidth of the radio channel based on the increase in spectral efficiency. In order to do this, OFDM systems use orthogonal signal transformation based on fast Fourier transformation (FFT). To reduce the time spent on signal processing, the article proposes to use discrete wavelet transformations of signals (DWT) implemented in modular residue classes codes (MRCC). The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that based on the integration of methods for constructing discrete wavelet transforms and methods for developing modular codes, mathematical models of DWT implemented in the MRCC will be created, the use of which will reduce the execution time of orthogonal signal processing in OFDM systems. This result will be achieved by parallelizing arithmetic operations on the modules of the modular code. At the same time, the use of low-bit operands makes it possible to switch from performing multiplication, addition, and subtraction operations in the MRCC to retrieving data from LUT tables. Thus, the development of mathematical models of discrete wavelet transformations implemented in modular codes of residue classes is an urgent task.

The most informative methods in diagnostics of retinal pathological conditions are ophthalmoscopy, fluorescence angiography (FAG), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography with angiography (OCT-angiography, angio-OCT, OCT-A). This paper describes an algorithm of retinal pathologic focus formation based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans. The algorithm allows to create a volumetric model of the pathological focus within clinically significant boundaries by separate segmentation of each of the macular cube scans, extraction of the pathological focus point cloud and its reconstruction into a polygonal 3D model. Certain morphometric parameters extracted from such a model are important for better analysis of retinal pathology. This will allow the ophthalmologist to prescribe the appropriate type and amount of treatment to stabilize and improve visual functions.

The article considers the well-known methods for comparing graphic images. To improve the accuracy of comparison of low-informative images, which are used as formalized symbols of elements on topographic maps, the paper proposes a method for comparing low-informative graphic images, consisting of a set of image comparison methods - the root mean square deviation of the pixels of one image from another and the method of pixel-by-pixel comparison of images. The definition of a formalized graphic document is given. A detailed description of the proposed methodology is presented. By way of example of two data sets, consisting of graphic elements distributed by classes depending on their style, the operation of the technique was tested and the optimal parameters were experimentally selected in the context of solving the problem. The results of the computational experiments carried out in the paper showed the effectiveness of its application in comparison with known methods for solving the problem.

The paper presents a study of the problems of organizing the process of designing technical means that are involved in the technological process of production by enterprises. Under the technical means it is proposed to understand both software, hardware, and software and hardware solutions. The main problem is identified - the discrepancy between the functionality of technical means and the technological process. In this regard, a study is being made of the processes of linking the technological process of output of enterprises with the processes of designing and developing technical means. From the results of the study, it was determined that the models of the functional of technical means are constructed by developers, and not by actors. Such models are formally presented not as a description of the procedures for performing the functions of a technological process by actors, but as a model of how the functions of future technical means will be used by actors. The necessity is substantiated and a hypothesis is put forward about the possibility of solving the indicated problem.

The work is devoted to the problems of strategic planning in the digital technology market. The aim of the work is to build a decision support procedure for choosing a strategy, based on internal (related to the characteristics of the firm choosing the strategy) and external (conditioned by the state of the market) factors. It is assumed that the elementary strategy is described by the type, direction and applied area of activity. In this case, the possibility of combining several elementary strategies is considered. The main result of the work is a procedure for choosing a combined strategy based on the application of a genetic algorithm. The use of the methodological apparatus of evolutionary calculations is due to the large number of possible options for combined strategies and the complexity of their evaluation, which makes a complete enumeration of options impractical. The final choice is made by the decision maker based on their own preferences.
