Vekua Institute of Applied Mathematics of Tbilisi State University, Georgia. Studied the problem NP=P or not in theory of NP-completeness. The polynomial method for constructing a relational language has been worked out, which provides systematic analysis of NP-completeness. The experimental programme of realization of this language, in case of solving graph isomorphism problems clearly shows the "simplicity" of these problems compared to other ones from NP class. Some other problems from NP class have been studied and for this polynomial time is enough.
