Teoria grafów znalazła zastosowanie w sieciach telekomunikacyjnych, transporcie, bioinformatyce, zarządzaniu i w wielu innych dziedzinach. Ale co ma ona wspólnego z Imperium Rzymskim?

The rotor-router mechanism was introduced as a deterministic alternative to the random walk in undirected graphs. In this model, a set of k identical walkers is deployed in parallel, starting from a chosen subset of nodes, and moving around the graph in synchronous steps. During the process, each node maintains a cyclic ordering of its outgoing arcs, and successively propagates walkers which visit it along its outgoing arcs in...

A set of mobile agents is placed at different nodes of a n-node network. The agents synchronously move along the network edges in a collision-free way, i.e., in no round may two agents occupy the same node. In each round, an agent may choose to stay at its currently occupied node or to move to one of its neighbors. An agent has no knowledge of the number and initial positions of other agents. We are looking for the shortest possible...

W pracy podano definicję macierzy ultrametrycznej i jej reprezentację grafową. Macierz ta jest wykorzystywana głównie w filogenezie, do budowy drzew ultrametrycznych. W pracy opisano jeden z algorytmów słuzący do konstrukcji takich drzew. Ponadto, omówiono inne możliwe zastosowania modelu grafowego macierzy, tym razem dla problemu przydziału częstotliwości dla nadajników. Zaproponowano również rozwiązanie tego problemu w szczególnym...

We study the following scenario of online graph exploration. A team of k agents is initially located at a distinguished vertex r of an undirected graph. At every time step, each agent can traverse an edge of the graph. All vertices have unique identifiers, and upon entering a vertex, an agent obtains the list of identifiers of all its neighbors. We ask how many time steps are required to complete exploration, i.e., to make sure...
