Article
The analysis of networks describing many social, economic, technological, biological and other systems has attracted a lot of attention last decades. Since most of these complex systems evolve over time, there is a need to investigate the changes, which appear in the system, in order to assess the sustainability of the network and to identify stabl...

Tornado prediction variables are analyzed using machine learning and decision analysis techniques. A model based on several choice procedures and the superposition principle is applied for different methods of data analysis. The constructed model has been tested on a database of tornadic events. It is shown that the tornado prediction model develop...

The concept of centrality is one of the essential tools for analyzing complex systems. Over the years, a large number of centrality indices have been proposed that account for different aspects of a network. Unfortunately, most real networks are substantially incomplete, which affects the results of the centrality measures. This article aims to eva...

We examine the Random Walkers Induced temporal Graph (RWIG) model, which generates temporal graphs based on the co-location principle of $M$ independent walkers that traverse the underlying Markov graph with different transition probabilities. Given the assumption that each random walker is in the steady state, we determine the steady-state vector...
Article
We study human mobility networks through timeseries of contacts between individuals. Our proposed Random Walkers Induced temporal Graph (RWIG) model generates temporal graph sequences based on independent random walkers that traverse an underlying graph in discrete time steps. Co-location of walkers at a given node and time defines an individual-le...
Article
Identification of central elements in networks is an ill-defined problem. Hence, a large number of centrality measures have been proposed in the literature. We present a survey of existing axioms, which characterize certain properties of centralities. We also perform a perturbation analysis of centrality measures in real and artificial networks.

Understanding of real systems relies on the identification of its central elements. Over the years, a large number of centrality measures have been proposed to assess the importance of nodes in complex networks. However, most real networks are incomplete and contain incorrect data, resulting in a high sensitivity of centrality indices. In this pape...

Modelling temporal networks is an open problem that has attracted researchers from a diverse range of fields. Currently, the existing modelling solutions of time-evolving graphs do not allow us to provide an accurate graph sequence. In this paper, we examine the network dynamics from a system identification perspective. We prove that any periodic g...

As a result of the climate change the situation in Arctic area leads to several important consequences. On the one hand, fossil fuels can be exploited much easier than before. On the other hand, their excavation leads to serious potential threats to fishing by changing natural habitats which in turn creates serious damage to the countries’ economie...
Chapter
We propose a model that evaluates how much a network has changed over time in terms of its structure and a set of central elements. The difference of structure is evaluated in terms of node-to-node influence using known nodes correspondence models. To analyze the changes in nodes centralities we adapt an idea of interval orders to the network theor...

Full-text available
Power evaluation in networks has been studied by many scientists. The problem has been usually considered from different areas as the problem of decision making by a group of agents, the problem of epidemic spreading, etc. Based on the intuition that a node becomes affected if its individual threshold is exceeded, we present a model how to measure...

Nowadays, we have seen a growing number of networks where nodes are connected to each other through different types of relationships. This makes identification of their topological structure and key elements both important and problematic. In this paper we propose a novel model for influence assessment in such networks using social choice rules. We...
