The application of the construction of Kolmogorov complexity and of a theorem by Maslov to semiotic systems

The results obtained in V. P. Maslov’s article [1] can automatically be carried over to arbitrary semiotic systems if the string of signs is sufficiently long. We shall show in this article, by using arguments based on the ideas of Kolmogorov complexity and by applying the theorem of V. P. Maslov from [2], that one can obtain similar formulas for the distribution of various semiotic objects. In order to do this, we must introduce notions generalizing the occurrence frequency of words in corpora of texts. We also interpret a formula due to Maslov (appearing in [3]) from the point of view of the general semiotic notions introduced here.     

Factor and term ranks for matrix union over semirings

We consider the arithmetic properties of the factor-rank and term-rank functions for matrices over semirings. In particular, we investigate the sets of matrices that satisfy the extremes of inequalities for these rank functions of matrix union. The classification of the linear transformations that keep these sets invariant is obtained. __________ Translated from Fundamentalnaya i Prikladnaya Matematika, Vol. 9, No. 3, pp. 175–197, 2003.     

On entire nonnegative solutions of quasilinear inequalities of elliptic type that vanish on a set of positive measure

In the article, it is proved that any nonnegative solution of an elliptic quasilinear inequality that vanishes on a subset of positive measure is trivial. __________ Translated from Trudy Seminara imeni I. G. Petrovskogo, No. 25, pp. 112–118, 2005.     

Fast and Slow Diffusion of Channelized Particles in Transverse Energy Space

The Fokker–Planck-type kinetic equation is constructed with the help of the evolution equation for the transverse energy of channelized particles, which in its turn is derived beyond the framework of perturbation theory proceeding from the condition of nonconcervation of the adiabatic invariant.     

Calculation of regression functions in problems of rejections of gaussian random fields

We study the asymptotics of some regression functions which occur in the study of high rejections of homogeneous Gaussian random fields.Translated from Statisticheskie Metody Otsenivaniya i Proverki Gipotez, pp. 143–148, 1988.     

Prognostication of aging of polymeric composite materials

Experimental data demonstrate that a study of accelerated aging can enable prognostication of the working capacity and storage life of polymeric formulations used in aircraft components on the basis of changes in thermogravimetric constants of these polymeric formulations.
