Background. The problem of pattern recognition is considered in this paper. We propose to use orthogonal basis functions for pattern recognition of 2D signals.

Objective. The aim of this paper is investigation of pattern recognition problem of 2D images based on cosine and Hadamard transforms.

Methods. Preprocessing of signals is proposed to reduce the number of spectral components in the orthogonal series of signal decomposition. Normalization of a reference signal “in terms of level” allows comparing reference and tested signals by means of transform coefficient calculation. This coefficient is a match criterion of these signals.

Results. Theoretical information used for proposed classification method is described. The normalization algorithms of the reference and tested signals, which have to perform before determining similarity of images, are proposed. Transformation of a reference signal to twodimensional basic function is fundamental point. This basic function is based on selected 2D orthogonal transform. Complete cycle of calculation for pattern recognition of some 2D images is executed. The calculations were performed using Hadamard and cosine transforms. 2D images of obtained spectra are given.

Conclusions. As a result, this research shows that we can perform pattern recognition of normalized 2D images based on calculation of transform coefficient. The analysis of calculation results shows that classification of signals based on transform coefficient values is possible. Development of matching classifiers is the aim of the next research.

Background. To solve the problems of modeling and forecasting on the basis of large datasets (including singular ones) in conditions of uncertainty it is necessary to develop integrated information decision support systems (DSS). A methodology is proposed for application of extreme value theory for statistical models development and DSS on their basis.

Objective. The goal of the study is in application of the extreme value theory for analysis and estimation of model parameters on the basis of random samples. It is necessary to develop an effective methodology for analysis of pseudorandom sequences and estimation of unknown model parameters; to present examples of analysis using extreme value theory and software developed.

Methods. To solve the problems stated the following approaches were used: pseudorandom sequences generating procedures; probabilistic distributions of the extreme value theory, and methods for estimating unknown model parameters. A multistep methodology is proposed for extreme values processing and DSS is developed for analysis and modeling of pseudorandom sequences.

Fast Kemeny Consensus by Searching over Standard Matrices Distanced to the Averaged Expert Ranking by Minimal Difference /Romanuke V.V. K.: Naukovi visti NTUU “КPІ”. – 2016. – N 1

Background. The problem of ranking a finite set of objects is considered.

Objective. The goal is to develop an algorithm that would let speed up the search of the Kemeny consensus along with substantiation of a metric to compare rankings.

Methods. An approach for aggregating experts’ rankings is suggested and substantiated. Also a metric to compare rankings is suggested and substantiated.

Results. The developed algorithm finds a set of Kemeny rankings much faster than the classical straightforward search. Also this set often contains a single Kemeny consensus, what fails by the straightforward search. Besides, a single Kemeny consensus is determined at one stroke if the averaged expert ranking turns out acyclic. Thus the problem of selecting a single Kemeny consensus is solved.

Conclusions. For 10 objects and more, where most known approaches become intractable, the algorithm still is tractable due to searching over only those standard matrices whose distance to the first ranking differs minimally from the distance between this ranking and the averaged expert ranking.

Keywords: ranking; Kemeny consensus; averaged expert ranking.

LowTemperature Formation of the FePt Phase in the Presence of an Intermediate Au Layer in Pt/Au/Fe Thin Films /Vladymyrskyi I.A. K.: Naukovi visti NTUU “КPІ”. – 2016. – N 1

Background. Pt/Fe bilayers with L10FePt phase are prospective candidates for applications in ultrahigh density magnetic storage due to their strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Typically, the L10FePt phase can be formed from the disordered A1 FePt phase after postannealing or after epitaxial growth on suitable substrates at elevated temperatures. However, industrial application of these films requires lowtemperature ordering as well as control of grain size and crystal orientation.

Objective. Investigation of the intermediate Au layer influence on the lowtemperature diffusion phase formation processes in nanoscale film compositions Pt/Au/Fe.

Methods. The film compositions were deposited by magnetron sputtering;

the structural properties of the asdeposited and annealed films were analysed by xray diffraction method and secondary neutral masspectroscopy.

Results. It was shown by SNMS depth profiles and XRD measurements that the provision of additional Au layer leads to diffusion intermixing of Pt and Fe layers acceleration and to the formation of partially ordered L10FePt phase.

Conclusions. The introduction of the additional intermediate Au layer leads to the enhancement of the lowtemperature intermixing of nanocrystalline Fe and Pt thin films. The intermixing at relatively low temperatures is caused by the grain boundary diffusion induced reaction layer formation mechanism. At the same time the ordering is also enhanced, leading to the appearance of the chemically ordered L10 FePt phase, which results in a strongly increased coercive field. The enhanced chemical L10 ordering is interpreted by stresses developed during the formation of the disordered A1 FePt phase along the GBs: in some of the new grains formed, where there is                      compressive stress along the {001} direction, chemical ordering can take place.

Keywords: magnetic recording; film composition; FePt; lowtemperature homogenization; chemical ordering.

Methods. The barrier layer is deposited by physical vapor deposition. Titanium colorizing has been carried out in the powder mixture of Ti, Al, Al2O3, NH4Cl in the container with fusible gate for 4 hours at 1050 °C.
