Abstract
In most software engineering approaches, software design begins with defining functional requirements, which is well suited to web-based software development projects. When designing high-critical large-scale software intended for industrial use, accounting for non-functional software requirements is also required. The main idea of the proposed document-oriented approach is to design a stable architectural solution as early as possible, taking into account the nonfunctional characteristics of the software: reliability, security, maintainability and performance (quality attributes). At the same time, the key issue is the coordination of functional requirements, taking into account technical limitations and business requirements achieved during the steady interaction of customer and developer teams. To increase the flexibility of the designed solutions and prevent crisis situations when developing highly critical large-scale software, it is proposed to use the approach integrating the architecture-centric design method (ACDM), the architecture-tradeoff analysis method (ATAM) with a matrix enterprise architecture matrix (EAM). This allows getting a result that is adequate to the required level of responsibility and reliability. Consideration of quality attributes within the framework of the method of compromise analysis makes it possible to select and make certain decisions in software design taking into account the scale of the software and its scope. The main attributes of product quality are highlighted (ISO 25010 standard), critical scenarios are defined for each of them (templates and use cases). The use of these templates for detailed software design with the necessary parameters of functional requirements, business conditions and technological limitations reduces the risk of developing unpredictable and uncertain system behavior. Based on the proposed approach, an architectural solution is presented for highly critical, responsible, large-scale software for managing autonomous robotic open-pit mining of minerals. Critical attributes for creating the specified software were identified and ranked, and the architecture of the solution according to the SWEBOK software development standard was described. Further, taking into account the nature, scale and scope of the software solution, recommendations are given on high-level architectural templates for the system design, including layers, pipelines and microservices. The proposed architecture-oriented development method is suitable for industrial-level software in various subject areas.

Abstract
Modern software development is based on a systems approach, in which a program or software complex is considered as a system of interacting software components. Models of software components are analogs of complex system subsystems. Therefore, a complex program is considered as a system of software components. The organization of the structure of software components affects the quality and result of the program. The organization of interaction between software components affects the efficiency of the program. An important factor in the system of software components is the life cycle, which determines the effectiveness and feasibility of using this program. Software differs from many complex systems and information systems in that it has the ability to increase its life cycle. Moreover, the need to increase the life cycle is characterized by two factors: external and internal. The internal factor arises due to the obsolescence of the program. In this case, it does not meet the new conditions, for example, a new operating system. The external factor arises from external influences in the form of interference or purposeful actions, such as computer viruses. The problem of creating the structure of software components of computing systems and information systems that ensure the duration of the life cycle in the presence of external influences is topical. The study of this problem contributes to the improvement of the technological base of computing systems and information systems that solve applied problems. The article presents a new life cycle model based on two models of growth and degradation. The article recommends a resource-based approach for life cycle assessment. As an analytical solution, it is proposed to use a logistic equation, which describes the mechanisms of the life cycle formation process quite well. The article discusses three types of resource in calculations: physical, technological and communicative. A general redundancy solution is proposed to create a network with the inclusion of a multigraph model.

MODERN RADIO ENGINEERING AND TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

The article evaluated the effectiveness of using such a filter with an algorithm for setting weight coefficients that controls the constant envelope of a useful signal when receiving signals with multi-position phase shift keying against the background of noise and non-fluctuation interference. The optimal filter’s adaptation coefficient and its length were determined. The effect of the filter on the noise immunity of the quadrature signal receiver with multiposition phase shift keying for various combinations of interference and their intensity was estimated.

Abstract
The energy and spectral advantages of signals with phase-shift keying predetermined their widespread use in modern digital navigation, communications and television systems. The use of this type of signal in a multi-position format with an increased number of possible phase states allows increasing the information capacity of the channel signal, and consequently the throughput rate of radio channels. The presence of non-fluctuation interference in such radio channels greatly reduces the noise immunity of information reception. A well-known way to deal with such interference is to use adaptive non-recursive filters in the receiver. The article evaluates the effectiveness of using such a filter with an algorithm for setting weight coefficients that controls the constant envelope of a useful signal when receiving signals with multi-position phase shift keying against the background of noise and non-fluctuation interference. Two types of such interference are considered – harmonic and relayed. Using computer simulation, the optimal filter parameters (adaptation coefficient and its length) are determined; the effect of the filter on the noise immunity of the quadrature signal receiver with multi-position phase shift keying for various combinations of interference and their intensity is estimated. It is shown that such an adaptive filter can successfully cope with the most dangerous sighting harmonic interference.

Abstract
Semiconductor industry calls for emerging memory, demonstrating high speed (like SRAM or DRAM), nonvolatility (like Flash NAND), high endurance and density, good scalability, reduced energy consumption and reasonable cost. Ferroelectric memory FRAM has been considered as one of the emerging memory technologies for over 20 years. FRAM uses polarization switching that provides low power consumption, nonvolatility, high speed and endurance, robust data retention, and resistance to data corruption via electric, magnetic fields and radiation. Despite the advantages, market share held by FRAM manufacturers is insignificant due to scaling challenges. State-of-the-art FRAM manufacturing is studied in this paper. Ferroelectric capacitors and memory cells made by main commercial FRAM manufactures (Texas Instruments, Cypress Semiconductor, Fujitsu и Lapis Semiconductor) are explored. All memory cells are based on the lead zirconate titanate PZT capacitor with the thickness of about 70 nm and IrOx/Ir or Pt electrodes. The leading FRAM technology remains the 130 nm node CMOS process developed at Texas Instruments fabs. New approaches to further scaling and new devices based on ferroelectrics are reviewed, including binary ferroelectrics deposited by ALD techniques, piezoelectronic transistors, ferroelectric/2D-semiconductor transistor structures, and others. Whether FRAM technology will be able to resolve one of the main contradictions between a high-speed processor and a relatively slow nonvolatile memory depends on the success of the new technologies integration.

Abstract

This paper considers various methods of effective media as a tool for studying both optical and magneto-optical properties of various nanostructures, primarily magnetic nanostructures. Formulas for finding diagonal and non-diagonal components of the permittivity tensor for all basic approximations of the effective medium were obtained explicitly. These formulas are valid for both nanocomposites and granular alloys. The possibility of predicting various optical and magneto-optical properties of such structures is discussed using the example of the transverse Kerr effect as a promising non-contact method for studying nanostructures for a ferromagnetic nanocomposite (CoFeZr)x(MgF2)100-x. A possible application of the obtained formulas is discussed. Various methods of effective media make it possible to study nanostructures in a wide range of values of the concentration of the metal (magnetic) component Х. The paper notes and discusses the contribution of various mechanisms that affect the physical properties of such structures, especially in the IR region of the spectrum, where the quasi-classical dimensional effect is most pronounced. The form factor of nanocomposite particles and the average particle size are such contributions that can be taken into account. The contribution of the quasi-classical dimensional effect to the diagonal and non-diagonal components of the structure's permittivity tensor is analyzed within the framework of the Drude-Lorentz model. The problem being solved in this work is relevant, since interesting and important effects are observed in magnetic nanostructures, such as the Kerr effect, anomalous absorption, giant magnetoresistance, tunnel magnetoresistance, and many others. These effects play an important role in modern electronic devices, which makes this work particularly relevant.

MATHEMATICAL MODELING

The mechanisms of leakage occurrence at different values of roughness and pressure on the joint surfaces are considered taking into account the real contact area. The estimation of deformations and forces in the contact zone was carried out taking into account the profile of surfaces, limit deviations of shape and location of surfaces, as well as physical and mechanical properties of materials of the sealed joint; theoretical dependences were obtained. The simulation of the process of leakage depending on these conditions was carried out. It is shown that the complete tightness of rigid joints is insufficient even with low roughness provided by the finishing methods of processing and in the absence of deviations in the shape of the joint surfaces.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the seals of fixed joints. The mechanisms of leakage occurrence at different values of roughness and pressure on the joint surfaces are considered taking into account the real contact area. The estimation of deformations and forces in the contact zone was carried out taking into account the profile of surfaces, limit deviations of shape and location of surfaces, as well as physical and mechanical properties of materials of the sealed joint. The obtained theoretical dependence allows to evaluate the tightness of the fixed connection depending on the main parameters of the seal roughness, manufacturing errors and the location of the interfaces, their physical and mechanical properties and characteristics of sealed liquid, including differential pressure and the nominal pressure in the joint. A new law of probability density distribution is proposed, which more adequately describes the considered boundary conditions of the experiment. Relations for the probabilistic evaluation of the contact area and surface deformations taking into account the characteristics of the material are obtained. Simple engineering relations for the estimation of probability of contact of the projections and offset surfaces for the two profiles are obtained. The simulation of the process of leakage depending on these conditions is carried out. It is shown that the complete tightness of rigid joints is insufficient even with low roughness provided by the finishing methods of processing and in the absence of deviations in the shape of the joint surfaces. The comparison of experimental data with the obtained theoretical results showed that the proposed engineering dependences provide a good match with the experimental data.

Abstract

The article discusses the optimization procedures in the marketing of educational services in the formation of a marketing strategy for a new recruitment in a university. A mathematical model for formalizing the objective function when evaluating the results of a new recruitment at a university is considered, which is the basis for creating optimization procedures. The results of the new recruitment are characterized by quantitative and qualitative indicators, which include the number of applicants, as well as the average USE score.
An economic and mathematical model is proposed for the optimal determination of the parameters of a new set, which provides a balanced policy for implementing a new set. At the same time, the importance of the minimum threshold of USE scores that an applicant must collect for admission to a university is shown. An increase in this parameter contributes to the fact that the average USE score of enrolled students increases, but at the same time the number of students enrolled in places with full cost recovery decreases. An optimization problem is considered, with the help of which it is possible to calculate the optimal value of this parameter.
A game-theoretic mathematical model is proposed for modeling the influence of marketing activities and random factors on the result of a new set, with the help of which it is possible to form a ranked list of activities and the optimal allocation of resources. Using the game-theoretic approach allows you to effectively take into account the uncertainties that affect the results of the new set. At the same time, a maximin approach is proposed, with the help of which we calculate the optimal strategy of marketing activities when organizing a new recruitment at a university. At the same time, a general scheme for using the optimization model is proposed and an algorithm is presented with the help of which we obtain a calculated optimal marketing strategy for implementing a new recruitment at a university and an optimal allocation of resources to ensure these activities.

A novel mathematical apparatus allowing formulation and justification of a new approach towards the setting of the mathematical problem of band-pass layered dielectric filters synthesis is developed. A new concept of the feasible ideal is introduced for the energy coefficients of reflection and transmission of layered systems. It is shown that the feasibility of the energy coefficients of reflection and transmission of layered systems is equivalent to the feasibility of the profiling functions of such systems. The proposed synthesis problem statement leads to considerably less intensive computational procedures.

Abstract
A novel mathematical apparatus allowing formulation and justification of a new approach towards the setting of the mathematical problem of band-pass layered dielectric filters (LDF) synthesis is developed. Аrbitrary layered dielectric systems with piecewise continuous physical media parameters given by the functions of dielectric permittivity and of magnetic permeability, both depending on the coordinate along the normal to the layer pile, with fixed discontinuity points of at least one of the mentioned functions are examined. For such systems, an important conservation law for the difference of the squares of absolute amplitude values of plane waves propagating left and right in given layered medium is stated, which further leads to the traditional energy conservation law in lossless layered media. This new identity law allows turning from synthesis problems in terms of fractional rational energy reflectivity and transmittance of layered systems to equivalent tasks for profiling functions introduced in the work, representing only the numerator or only the denominator of the expressions usually considered in the synthesis. A new concept of the feasible ideal is introduced for the energy coefficients of reflection and transmission of layered systems. It is shown that the feasibility of the energy coefficients of reflection and transmission of layered systems is equivalent to the feasibility of the profiling functions of such systems, which together with the main identity allows a significant change of the existing LDF synthesis approach. The rule for converting the ideal of the reflection or transmission coefficient into the ideal of the profiling function is given. The proposed synthesis problem statement leads to considerably less intensive computational procedures.
