Study of the Influence of Optimization Methods on the Efficiency of an Extremal Control System Based on Acoustic Anomaly Detection

The paper investigates the influence of optimization methods on the efficiency of an extremal control system based on acoustic anomaly detection. The proposed system can detect abnormal equipment operating modes by analyzing sound characteristics and automatically adapting control parameters to new operating conditions. Using mathematical modeling, the operation of the system with different optimization algorithms (gradient descent, Momentum, Nesterov and RMSProp) was studied.

Features of Building a System for Optimizing Import Activities

The article examines the theoretical and practical foundations of developing a system for optimizing import activity within enterprises. The essence of the definition ‘optimization of import activity’ is defined as a process aimed at improving the management of foreign economic operations in order to minimize costs, enhance efficiency, adaptability, and competitiveness under conditions of global market transformation.

Problems of Interaction Between Domestic Enterprises and Customs Authorities

Interaction with customs authorities is a crucial component of successful foreign economic activity, especially for companies involved in regular import operations. The efficiency of such interaction directly influences the speed, cost, and reliability of international trade processes. Therefore, the goal of this study is to analyze and improve the mechanisms of customs interaction in the context of the activities of LLC ‘Lviv Auto Hub’ – a company engaged in systematic import of vehicles into Ukraine.

Cyber-Physical Modeling of Implantable Devices for Interstitial Therapeutic Systems

This paper proposes a cyber-physical modeling framework that enables a planner to optimally position implantable medical devices in therapeutic systems that operate interstitially. To inspire a model, we use applications such as interstitial photodynamic therapy and brachytherapy, and frame the problem as constrained packing of cylindrical objects with spatial and angular feasibility conditions. An approach combines anatomical geometry, device orientation restrictions, and tissue-specific feasibility to create an integrated optimization model.

Optimizing Firewall Policy Management in Microsegmented Networks

The article analyzes the tasks and challenges of managing complex corporate networks that arise during the migration from a perimeter-based security model to a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). It is established that neglecting these issues may lead both to a decline in service quality within microsegmented network infrastructures and to increased risks associated with the excessive complexity of firewall rules.

Numerical Optimization Method for Clustering in Content-Based Image Retrieval Systems

The object of the study is the process of organizing a descriptor repository in content-based image retrieval systems. The subject of the study is a method of numerical optimization of descriptor clustering in a multidimensional space. The aim of this work is to develop a clustering optimization method in the Multidimensional Cube model to improve search efficiency. The core idea is to ensure a more uniform distribution of descriptors across clusters by adjusting interval boundaries in each dimension, which reduces imbalance in cluster density and improves retrieval performance.

Optimisation of the Extraction Process of Toluene and Humic Acid Extract from Brown Coal

Lignite (brown coal) is a promising source of humic acids (HAs) and toluene-soluble extracts (bitumen "A"), which have applications as soil conditioners/biostimulants (HAs) and hydrophobic coatings or polymer additives (toluene extract). This study optimized their sequential extraction from Ukrainian lignite, evaluating yield trade-offs and structural properties. Four extraction variants were tested. Conventional toluene-first extraction (Variant 0) yielded the highest toluene extract (14.86 wt. %), but lower HAs (41.0 wt.

ADAPTIVE CDN NODE SELECTION IN DYNAMIC ICT SYSTEMS USING ONLINE CONTROLLED EXPERIMENTS AND CHANGE DETECTION MULTI ARMED BANDIT ALGORITHMS

Modern info‑communication technology (ICT) infrastructures such as content‑delivery networks (CDNs) must continuously tune low‑level parameters to deliver high performance under variable and non‑stationary network conditions. This paper investigates how online controlled experiments—including classical A/B tests and adaptive multi‑armed bandit (MAB) algorithms—can be used to optimise CDN node selection. We formalise the optimisation problem as minimising a network‑performance objective of average latency, one of key metrics used to measure network performance.

OPTIMIZATION OF TRAINING SAMPLE USING RANDOM POINT PROCESSES

The paper considers methods for optimizing training samples for deep learning algorithms through the use of random point processes, such as Matern of the first and second types, Gibbs, Gaussian, and Poisson processes. An approach to reducing training data without sacrificing informativeness is proposed, enabling a decrease in computational costs and mitigating the risk of overfitting.
