Forwarding and optical indices of a graph
PublicationW pracy rozstrzygnięto dwa problemy dotyczące komunikacji wszyscy-do-wszystkich w grafach. Stwierdzono, że dla wersji skierowanej problemu parametry ''pi'' (maksymalne obciążenie krawędzi) i ''w'' (parametr chromatyczny) nie muszą być w ogólności sobie równe. Dla wersji nieskierowanej problemu pokazano, że wyznaczenie wartości zarówno ''pi'', jak i ''w'', jest w ogólności problemem NP-trudnym.

Visualization of short-term heart period variability with network tools as a method for quantifying autonomic drive
PublicationWe argue that network methods are successful in detecting nonlinear properties in the dynamics of autonomic nocturnal regulation in short-term variability. Two modes of visualization of networks constructed from RR-increments are proposed. The first is based on the handling of a state space. The state space of RR-increments can be modified by a bin size used to code a signal and by the role of a given vertex as the representation...
