The paper considers a wide range of issues related to the solution of an initial-boundary value problem for a parabolic partial differential equation with a multidimensional space variable belonging to the Euclidean space and changing on a network-like domain. The mathematical model describing the process of transferring a continuous medium over a network carrier is determined by the formalism of the initial-boundary value problem. An idea that has become classical is further developed for the case when a network-like region is a directed bounded graph, i.e., a collection of a finite number of segments connected to each other by means of end points. The study employs classical approximations of evolutionary differential equations of the 2-nd order as well as non-classical approximations of differential relations illustrated by generalized Kirchhoff conditions at the branching points of a network-like region (nodal points of the region). When using difference approximations of the initial-boundary value problem operator, the approximation error and stability conditions for the difference scheme are established. The characteristic properties of the locally one-dimensional method and the sweep method utilized to solve the stated problem are studied. An algorithm for the numerical solution of the stated problem is proposed, a computer program is designed, and a computational experiment is carried out on a series of applied problems. The findings are of interest in the analysis of applied problems of multiphase continuum media transfer along network-like 3D carriers.

The article deals with the formation of optimization models for component optimization of a digital management environment in organizational systems based on probabilistic assessments of component functional requirements fulfilment and estimation of the components implementation influence parameters on the achievement of established requirements. Methods and algorithms for calculating the parameters of digital environment components implementation influence on the achievement of established requirements are considered. As a principal method, it is proposed to use multi-alternative optimization and choosing the option of component integration into a single digital environment that provides the specified requirements for the functioning of a digitalized organizational system. Special attention is given to evaluating the functionality of digital environment components to determine the suitability of a component or a need to replace it in case of non-compliance with the specified requirements at the stage of its development. Boundary conditions for the transition from the stage of functioning to the stage of digital environment development are regarded in terms of fulfilling the established requirements for organizational system parameters and developing control actions: further operation of the component or its replacement; introduction of a new component to meet new system requirements; adjustment of component functionality under the conditions of the system unchanged structure.

The importance of air communication between various points of the globe in the modern world is difficult to overestimate. Yet the employment of this means of transport is associated with high risks for passengers, crew, cargo and the aircraft itself due to the possibility of serious accidents at all phases of the flight, but especially during takeoff and landing. This article presents a physical and mathematical model of an aircraft takeoff-run. Its analysis helps to avoid accidents in the event of emergency situations. This model enables the creation of an electronic device for monitoring takeoff dynamic characteristics and warning the aircraft crew about arising inconsistencies. The article presents differential equations describing the dynamic characteristics of the aircraft during takeoff-run. Additionally, solutions of these equations are obtained, which explicitly determine the functional dependencies of the distance necessary for a safe takeoff on the time elapsed since the start of the takeoff-run. The influence of external factors, such as ambient air temperature, wind speed during takeoff and runway slope on the calculated characteristics is considered. As an example, the article also offers the results of an emergency takeoff modeling with the aid of modern software (flight simulator flightgear 2020.3, GeoGebra mathematical program). From the authors’ point of view, the materials of the article may be of practical value for developers of non-embedded on-board control devices, as well as for users of these devices.

The relevance of the research is due to the prospects of phonocardiogram employment for daily monitoring of a fetus’s and mother’s state by designing inexpensive portable devices. Currently, there are no software and hardware systems that completely solve this problem. In this regard, the article presents the algorithm for pulse measurement by means of a phonocardiogram for signal processing in the streaming mode. The algorithm feature is a human’s and fetus’s pulse measurement based on the heart sound segmentation without classifying them into the first and second heart sounds, as well as detecting them under the conditions of other physiological and mechanical sounds, absence of one of the heart sounds in the signal, and deviations in the segmented sound boundaries from the actual localization of the cardiovascular system. For assessing the credibility of the results, the pulse values, obtained by the developed algorithm and reference methods, were compared. The pulse values, calculated by two experts with the aid of a phonocardiogram, were used as a standard for comparison. The average relative deviation between the findings and the reference method results does not exceed 3 %. The article materials are of practical value for the design of a fetus and human state daily monitoring systems.

The article examines a biotechnical system of rehabilitation and treatment of ischemic patients. A generalized structural diagram of rehabilitation of patients with high ischemic risk by exposing them to magnetic fields with controlled biotropic parameters is presented. The scheme allows building a model of the living system functional state and implementing adaptive control of magnetotherapy through biotechnical feedback on surrogate markers. A biotechnical system of magnetotherapy for patients with coronary heart disease has been developed. Biotechnical feedback was introduced into the system, which enabled it to adapt the magnetotherapy program to the functional state of the patient and correct it during the therapeutic session. Adjusting the therapeutic magnetic field parameters made it possible to increase the therapeutic effect of the physiotherapeutic procedure, reduce the adaptation and negative reactions of the body to magnetotherapy, and plan magnetotherapy programs. To implement the feedback, which ensures the adaptation of the magnetic field biotropic parameters to the functional state of the patient, we used information about the impedance of biologically active points and ischemic risk classifiers, the descriptors of which were determined on the basis of this information. An algorithm for controlling the biotropic parameters of the magnetic field by means of the functional state multimodal classifiers of the patient and a fuzzy inference module, designed to correct the biotropic parameters of the magnetic field in the course of a magnetic therapy session, is given. In a clinical setting, it was shown that the application of adaptive magnetic therapy is an effective method of treating patients with angina pectoris II and III of functional classes (85% and 77%, respectively), which is 14% and 15% higher than the corresponding results in the control group.

The article discusses an approach based on the use of methods for modeling, optimization and expert assessment in the development of a supply chain digital thread in the practice of managing organizational systems. It is shown that a digital thread needs to ensure, on the one hand, the movement of material flows within the supply chain and, on the other hand, the exchange of information flows during the interaction of the control center digital platforms and objects of the organizational system. The task is to make a managerial decision regarding the necessity to modernize the operating system of the logistics process digital control in comparison with the results of multivariate modeling and optimization of the digital thread structure. First of all, a model assessment of information exchange efficiency indicators is carried out in the case of basic structures of interaction between digital platforms of the control center and objects that form the supply chain: centralized and decentralized. In order to expand the expert evaluation possibilities of the new version of the logistics process digital management, simulation of the material flows movement processes and data exchange is undertaken to optimize the three-level cluster structure of the digital thread. All these stages of making a managerial decision are combined into a structural scheme for choosing an effective option for implementing a digital thread of supply chains.

The joint research of the dissociation-recombination reaction and space charge along with their effect on the transfer of 1:1 electrolyte ions appears to be a relevant issue. The article is a theoretical study of the dissociation, recombination and equilibrium areas and the features of salt ion transfer in each of these areas using the method of mathematical modeling. In the article, for the first time, on the basis of a mathematical model of non-stationary transfer of 1:1 electrolyte, the main regularities of the influence of the dissociation and recombination non-catalytic reaction on the transfer of 1:1 salt ions and electroconvection are theoretically established. In particular, the chronograms of the current density with and without taking into account the dissociation/recombination reaction of water, the structure of the dissociation regions, recombination and equilibrium were examined, the dependences on the input parameters were determined: the initial concentration, the potential sweep rate. It has been shown that in the boundary layers of ion-exchange membranes, the dissociation reaction prevails over the recombination reaction due to the fact that in these regions the electric field strength takes such high values that the electric field breaks the water molecules and separates the Н+ and ОН- ions, preventing them from recombining. It has been demonstrated for the first time that in the middle part of the desalination channel, a region is formed where the recombination of H+ and OH- ions predominates. This reaction is local in nature, so all H+ and OH- ions cannot recombine at the same time. As a result, in the region of recombination, an excess of H+ ions emerges on the one side and OH- on the other side, in other words, an electric double layer is developed in the middle part of the desalination channel, and the recombination region is rather narrow. The obtained theoretical results and conclusions can be applied to analyze the operation of electrodialysis machine desalination channels.

The object of research in the article is a project represented by a set of sequential-parallel operations with a random duration. A feature of the project class under study is the dependence of the execution time of any operation on the executive assigned to it. The goal is to assess the probabilistic and temporal characteristics of the project, which include, first of all, the duration of service. Due to the stochastic nature of operation duration, this characteristic will be random. Based on this, it is required to estimate the mathematical expectation of the investigated random variable in the first instance. In addition, the variance of the random variable, its distribution law, and the ability to estimate the probability of project completion in a given timeframe (i.e., the probability of the investigated random variable falling within a given timeframe) pose an interest. To achieve this goal, the article presents a software package consisting of an application for assessing the parameters of individual operations, a simulation system for assessing the duration of the entire project and a database that stores information about the required entities. All components of the software package are implemented using the Java language; MySql was chosen as the DBMS. As a result, it became possible to evaluate the parameters of individual operations, transfer them to the simulation environment for conducting an experiment to assess the necessary characteristics of the duration of the entire project and save the obtained values in the database for their possible further use.

Intelligent technologies are actively entering different fields of activity. These technologies are also beginning to be utilized at certain stages of scientific paper preparation management process to organize information support for peer reviewers and editors of the academic journals for the purpose of reducing their labour costs and accelerating the procedure of paper publication. However, tools, implementing intelligent technologies, are mostly used in major publishing houses due to the fact that their application requires strong computing resource consumption in their work. This entails the need for appropriate hardware and large financial expenditure. For that reason, the employment of intelligent technologies is nowadays limited for most of other academic journals. To deal with this problem, an approach to decision-making information support in scientific paper preparation management on the basis of intelligent review analysis is suggested in this article. The testing of the proposed measure to information support at the Aeterna Research and Publication Centre has proven its effectiveness by the example of paper preparation management in Academicheskaya publitsistika (Academic Publicism) and Innovatsionnaya nauka (Innovative Science) Journals.

Nowadays, the timely detection of new malicious attacks on computer networks appears to be a relevant issue. In this regard, it is necessary to develop anomaly detection methods that enable the identification of unknown attacks. The paper presents a model of a training device for analyzing anomaly detection methods in reliance on machine learning theory. A model has been developed for generating datasets with characteristics of real network traffic by means of a generative adversarial neural network. The generated dataset can be employed to train and test detection models while the sample emulates the features of a real network, which increases the efficiency of anomaly detection. The training device can also use publicly available datasets: NSL-KDD, CICIDS2017. Support vector machine, k-nearest neighbors, naive Bayes, logistic regression, decision trees, random forest, k-means are utilized as training methods, and a multilayer neural network, based on the PyTorch library, is implemented. The training device simplifies the process of analyzing machine learning methods, applied to obtain anomaly detection models. The developed software product facilitates not only training and testing with the aid of publicly available datasets, but also provides the ability to collect network traffic and supplements it with generated data with the characteristics of real traffic.

Currently, there are many difficulties associated with the financial aspect that affects the security of the facility when assembling a set of technical security equipment. To solve the problems of the facility safety, and therefore the reliability of individual security devices, it is recommended to involve experts. At the same time, experts’ opinions may not always be infallible. In this study, it is proposed to carry out a stochastic analysis and filtering of the expert opinion space in order to identify a conditional trend (established opinion) of each expert. The main method of researching this issue is the analysis of conditional time series (testing the hypothesis of the trend absence by means of the median method in the sequence of expert assessments), which makes it possible to determine the validity of the method, as well as to ensure experts’ objectivity of assessments. The article presents a step-by-step operation algorithm for empirical data, calculates the average deviations from the trend line, considers two methods for testing the null hypothesis – the median method and Foster–Stewart method. The materials of the article can be applied in various areas of setting the average score since the algorithm for testing the null hypothesis is universal in nature.

The relevance of the research is due to the importance of studying learning outcomes to improve the quality of educational process. For this, a knowledge assessment model is proposed in the form of a task sequence. The probability of successful completion of the task depends on the latent parameters: the ability of the student and the difficulty of the task. The model is similar to the Partial Credit Model used in Item Response Theory to analyze test results. In reliance on the maximum likelihood method, a procedure has been developed for estimating parameters by numerical methods according to students' grades. The convergence of the estimation procedure has been substantiated. Adequacy verification of the model by the means of variance analysis, correlation analysis, Infit and Outfit criteria, based on the chi-square distribution, is put forward. To evaluate the usefulness of the model, it is suggested to utilize the coefficient of determination. Information on the application of the model for the analysis of students’ grade array in the academic group is given. Following on from the results of the analysis, the model passed the adequacy tests and made it possible to significantly clarify the characteristics of the learning outcomes and knowledge assessment procedures. To enhance the accuracy of modeling, it is recommended to employ grades of current academic performance. The practical value of the model lies in the identification of assessment procedures with characteristics that differ notably from the average for further meaningful analysis and upgrade.

The article considers the problem of modeling large data array processing in distributed information and telecommunication systems. The analysis of the problem, associated with the incorrect operation of the information system, is conducted. It is shown that distributed systems allow distribution of logic and data across multiple physical servers, which, with the correct allocation of resources and logic, makes it possible to reduce the risks of failures. It is demonstrated how the calculation of productivity loss percentage from a failure in one of the distributed information system components is carried out. A fragment of the diagram, outlining the options for the store information system application, is examined. If it is necessary to purchase physical servers when building an information system, then it is possible to calculate the coefficient of decrease in the performance of the information system in the event of a failure on one of the servers while ensuring the conditions for simultaneous operation of servers. The graph, illustrating the dependence of the performance change on the number of nodes that comprise the distributed network, is given. The analysis indicates that the cases when there are not too many servers have the greatest effect on reducing the risks from adding nodes to a distributed system. If a distributed system already consists of many different servers and any logic is duplicated on many of them, the risk reduction from adding an additional server will be negligible.

The paper discusses the issues of developing a method for visualizing the internal structures of the body, based on the restoration of the acoustic nonlinear parameter distribution. The process of occurrence and propagation of the second harmonic wave in tissues with high nonlinearity and attenuation is considered. The use of the relative acoustic nonlinear parameter in relation to the absolute nonlinear parameter of the medium is proposed. To solve the problem of restoring the distribution of the relative acoustic nonlinear parameter in biological media, an equation is obtained that eliminates the necessity to measure changes in absolute pressure values for both the fundamental frequency wave and its second harmonic. Mathematical expressions are derived that enable accounting for the attenuation processes for the fundamental frequency and for its second harmonic, taking into consideration the influence of the medium in which the object under study is placed. Expressions for determining the relative acoustic nonlinear parameter are acquired. Drawing on these expressions, the construction of a visualization system, utilizing algorithms for restoring the distribution of the acoustic nonlinear parameter in the cross section of a biological object, is presented. The main advantage of these equations is that there is no need to identify changes in the absolute amplitudes of the fundamental frequency and second harmonic waves. The outlined methods for calculating the nonlinear characteristics of biological tissues make it possible to simplify the technical implementation of ultrasound imaging systems.

In the digital era mobile devices are becoming the main instrument of human social interaction. With the growing popularity of instant messengers, the role of chatbots in the mobile environment appears to be more and more significant. Intelligent interactive chatbots are often used in mobile applications and help improve the interaction between companies and their customers, which ultimately increases customer loyalty to that organization. Chatbots allow companies to communicate with customers on an individual basis, without involving employees and thereby saving time, money, and human resources. The majority of chatbots works with scripted algorithms and they are not universal. This is due to the simplicity and speed of development. However, in this case, there is a risk of missing many choices in the decision tree. Chatbots based on neural networks can solve this problem, but it should be taken into consideration that both of them have a drawback – long processing of messages and feedback. In the context of the scenario approach, this is caused by long branch transitions. For neural networks, complexity arises because of the feedback processing algorithm. In that instance, the application of the service will not be justified, customer loyalty to the organization will deteriorate. In this connection, the article discusses an alternative approach to creating chatbots with the aid of neural network technologies and text representation methods, which avoids the problems described above. As a means of chatbot design, the following technologies were utilized: Python 3.6, genism libraries, sklearn, scipy, pandas, word2vec and doc2vec technology. The article also describes a way to accelerate chatbot feedback and training using KD-Trees.

Currently, the problem of collective decision-making is one of the most relevant in the organization of effective management in social and economic systems. One of the main issues in the theory of expert assessments is the assessment of the group solution quality. The article discusses the matters of assessing the socio-economic indicator by independent experts. The centered random variables sums value of individual estimates is accepted as the error of group estimation. The situation is examined when the values of the indicator have an arbitrary distribution with known and unknown parameters. Two algorithms have been developed to determine the required amount of experts depending on the accuracy and reliability of the assessment. The first algorithm is used to find the confidence interval of mathematical expectation when the variance of the indicator is not specified. In this event, an iterative process is undertaken to ascertain the volume of representativeness for the confidence interval of variance with a given accuracy and reliability. The second algorithm is employed to construct a confidence interval for variance when the number of experts is more than three. The important task of quantifying the proportion (percentage) of possible errors within a predefined interval in measuring the indicator has been solved. An econometric model is designed for the Laplace function. The case of determining the number of experts to evaluate an indicator having a uniform and exponential distribution over a given interval is considered. An example of the practical implementation of the devised method is shown.

The paper describes a method for adapting the educational process in adaptive role-playing learning games using dynamic content matching of nonlinear learning and game scenarios. The training scenario and the game scenario, associated with it, are represented by structurally ordered spaces. The mechanism of dynamic content matching of nonlinear training and game scenarios implemented in the game is based on the activation of predefined game events in relation to the plot path chosen by the player. Triggers are assigned to each visible and invisible object of the game world in conformity with the constructed knowledge space. When a character enters a game situation tied to the trigger's scope, a system of dialog boxes is enabled to complete the objective, set by this game situation. The player dynamically builds their game scenario depending on the choice of a strategy for mastering the knowledge space and performing the corresponding game tasks while the method of dynamic content matching, executed in the game, ensures the development of the entire space in terms of any strategy formed by the player. The means of the method employment in the Cammi learning role-playing game for studying object-oriented programming and the C++ language is defined.

Nowadays, the problems of the economy decarbonization and the transition to renewable energy sources are becoming more relevant. Hydrogen, above all, is among the decarbonated gases, the use of which is considered the most promising. It is regarded not only as an energy carrier but also as a means of storing excess energy, produced by renewable sources. The steam methane reforming, at the outlet of which a hydrogen-enriched gas stream is obtained, is deemed to be the most well-developed scheme. Adsorptive gas separation systems are widely used to extract hydrogen from the steam reforming gas. Mathematical modeling plays an important role in the design of adsorption gas separation plants. Optimization and control systems synthesis can be carried out with the help of a mathematical model for the process under review. The article proposes a mathematical model for the hydrogen extraction technological process by the pressure swing adsorption method employing a 6-beds gas separation unit. For the numerical solution of the mathematical model equations, the method of lines was applied, which converts partial differential equations to a system of ordinary differential equations. The integration of resulting equations system was undertaken with the aid of the Runge-Kutta method with automatic step selection. The results of numerical simulation calculations of the system dynamic operating modes are given. It is concluded that the proposed mathematical model for the adsorption process of gas separation is allowed for solving the problems of numerical simulation studies, optimization and control systems synthesis

The article shows the methodology and results of laboratory tests to determine the performance indicators of operators with combined multi-band images, namely, video and thermal images acquired from the same object at the same scale and with the same sweep parameters. The images were presented in two versions. In the first one, tests were carried out to detect specified objects in a combined image from video and thermal imaging cameras. In the second one, the same detection procedure was undertaken on interpolated images, when each pixel of the resulting image contained information from both sensors. The relevance of the work done lies in obtaining the probabilistic characteristics of a given object detection from simply superimposed images and images subjected to spatial interpolation, which confirms the increase in the information content of the interpolated images, but in practical terms. The tests were run with the involvement of a large number of operators, each of which worked with images only once. As a result of the tests, data were collected on the time of object detection by each operator and the probabilistic characteristics of detection were calculated. A comparative analysis of the findings was carried out in order to ascertain the efficiency of operations with interpolated and non-interpolated images. The sufficiency of the conducted experiments is proved.

Making and analysing fire incidence forecasts is the issue which is in the focus of the attention of the supervisory activity directorate of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defence, Emergencies and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters because it concerns safety of human life and, thus, the tasks of solving this problem, and therefore planning and optimization of unit personnel. At the same time, about 30% of the control measures total number, carried out by fire supervision authorities, pertained to scheduled inspections. This article demonstrates the correlation between fire dynamics forecasting and scheduled inspections and determines the magnitude of the lag or delay in conducting scheduled inspections in relation to the number of fires. The mathematical and statistical model is based on the example of statistical data on the fire incidence in the Nizhny Novgorod region and the Russian Federation from 2010 to 2020. To define and address this problem, the mathematical apparatus of time series theory was used, in particular, the method with distributed lags - the Almon technique. The findings allow us to conclude that mathematical models with distributed lags, performed by means of the Almon technique, can be employed to predict fire incidence in the EMERCOM of Russia system, as well as to schedule inspections of the state fire services of the EMERCOM of Russia and formulate proposals for optimizing the personnel of the EMERCOM units.

In the article, errors that occur when using the most common current sources with low output resistance (voltage amplifiers), feeding coils of biological object modification sets by means of a magnetic field are identified with the aid of the proposed modeling methods. To exemplify the operability of the models under consideration, oscillograms of changes in the magnetic field induction time in the coil of the set, when it is powered by a voltage amplifier having a low output resistance, are given. As an alternative, it is suggested to employ a developed and assembled specialized current source with a high output resistance, voltage-controlled (ITUN), designed to work with an inductive load. The magnetic field, generated by the coil of the set, fully corresponds to the current, flowing through it from the current source. The article describes the layout of such current source, as well as a high-speed system for limiting the input signal, which enables the protection of the circuit power elements from overloads that occur when working on an inductive load. As an illustration of the effectiveness of the magnetic field creation method, the oscillograms of the change from the induction time of the magnetic field produced in the coil of the set, when it is powered from the current source layout, are presented. In order to implement the layout of the magnetic set and monitor the state of the magnetic field being measured, a high-speed magnetometer was additionally designed and built, which allows reading data in real time.

The article discusses and substantiates the principle of multi-range images combining and processing based on matrix devices with charge coupling. The developed principle is proposed as an alternative to the software implementation of the task of multi-range images combining and processing. The analysis of existing methods of combining multi-range images is carried out and the insufficiency of these methods in terms of increasing the resulting image information content is confirmed. The method for images combining and processing with a view to enhancing the information content, which is performed by means of digital methods, is considered. The possibility and prospects of the specified problem employment with the aid of discrete-analog systems, namely, the basis of matrix devices with charge coupled, have been affirmed. The principle of a two-stage impact on charge packets, which form image pixels in matrix devices with charge-coupled devices, is suggested with the aim of dividing them in specified proportions, indicated in the digital method, and introducing the necessary division parts into adjacent storage cells. The application simplicity of the procedure for dividing and moving parts of the charge packets by changing the voltages on the phase buses of the matrix device with charge coupling is shown. The transfer characteristic of the charge coupled matrix device in the outlined mode is determined analytically. The coefficient of the transfer characteristic squareness is ascertained.

In this article, suggestions are given for modeling the processes of cell separation by the magnitude of magnetic susceptibility. On the basis of the proposed model, an operating separation unit was created, and its description was given. To improve the efficiency of the operating separation unit, in comparison with existing equivalents, design solutions were introduced. It has been experimentally established that a lattice, consisting of rods of soft magnetic steel, which is a spatially periodic polygradient structure, can secrete cells of various magnetic susceptibility when the magnitude of the external magnetic field, applied to this structure, and the constant flow rate of the working medium, pumped through it, change. Additionally, we have also developed a technique for isolating cells with different magnetic susceptibility by means of the operating unit. The derived method makes it possible to acquire "spectra" of the magnetic susceptibility of cell samples. After the calibration of the unit, it is possible to predict the expected results of the cell separation analysis. The efficiency of the devised separator rises with an increase in the number of rows (rods) in the periodic structure. The accuracy of the findings depends on the pumping time. With weak fields, the shutter speed needs to be accelerated. Non-magnetic or weakly magnetic biological cells may remain in the swirl zones. This phenomenon negatively affects the quality of the samples obtained, especially with weak magnetic fields.

The article completes a series of three original publications, related to the modeling of seismic risks in the geological environment in design and construction of critical infrastructure facilities. The preparation of the series is aimed at achieving the goal of finding a quantitative correspondence of seismic risks, calculated according to mathematical models, with seismic impacts, regulated in the Seismic building design code (SP 14.13330.2018). For this purpose, the tasks are solved: in the first article the criteria for choosing test territories are justified, and the territory of Armenia and neighboring states is selected as a test region; in the second - by the example of the test area, an assessment of the probabilistic seismic risk was performed with the help of specially created mathematical models at the regional and local scale levels; in the third - mathematical models and software were developed to determine the compliance of the calculated seismic effects, regulated by the design code with the values of the probabilistic seismic risk, obtained using mathematical modeling. The final article concludes that the prospects for further research are associated with the construction of a new seismic intensity scale of possible earthquakes as a function of the calculated probabilistic seismic risk and the depth of the possible earthquake source, as well as the creation of a special normalization scale that enables to transfer the probabilistic seismic risk, calculated for any region, into intensity as a measure of shaking in points of a single macro seismic scale. The construction of similar scales is highly relevant for the calculated kinematic parameters, currently employed in the design code – peak acceleration, displacement velocity and the actual displacement of the ground.

The article presents the description and results of the implementation of regional and local mathematical models, created to address the problem of estimating stresses, deformations and displacements in the geological environment. In the regional model, the main factors, causing the occurrence of stresses, displacements and deformations of the geological environment, are the inhomogeneities of the anomalous gravitational field distribution in isostatic reduction and the features of the Moho surface relief. To describe a local deterministic model, which is employed to estimate the stress-strain state of a three-dimensional elastic space, the displacement equations, solved by the Galerkin method, are utilized. Computer versions of models, provided with digital information, open up fundamentally new opportunities for the construction sector in carrying out the tasks of assessment, analysis and forecasting of the geological environment seismic characteristics. Mathematical models and calculations, obtained with their application, are a reliable basis in the field of design and construction of buildings and structures under difficult geological conditions. Survey work and the construction itself require significant material, technical and financial resources. It is concluded that the use of modern digital technologies for assessing, analyzing and predicting seismic risks reduces unjustified losses and develops the intellectual component of the methods exploited as well as methods of design surveys.
