Bounds on Roman domination numbers of graphs
Let G be a graph with no isolated vertex. In this paper, we study a parameter that is a relaxation of arguably the most important domination parameter, namely the total domination number, γt(G). A set S of vertices in G is a disjunctive total dominating set of G if every vertex is adjacent to a vertex of S or has at least two vertices in S at distance 2 from it. The disjunctive total domination number, [...] γtd(G) , is the minimum cardinality of such a set. We observe that [...] γtd(G)≤γt(G)...
Let G = (V(G),E(G)) be a graph, and let k ≥ 1 be an integer. A set S ⊆ V(G) is called a global offensive k-alliance if |N(v)∩S| ≥ |N(v)-S|+k for every v ∈ V(G)-S, where N(v) is the neighborhood of v. The global offensive k-alliance number is the minimum cardinality of a global offensive k-alliance in G. We present different bounds on in terms of order, maximum degree, independence number, chromatic number and minimum degree.
Let G be a finite and simple graph with vertex set V (G), and let f V (G) → {−1, 1} be a two-valued function. If ∑x∈N|v| f(x) ≤ 1 for each v ∈ V (G), where N[v] is the closed neighborhood of v, then f is a signed 2-independence function on G. The weight of a signed 2-independence function f is w(f) =∑v∈V (G) f(v). The maximum of weights w(f), taken over all signed 2-independence functions f on G, is the signed 2-independence number α2s(G) of G. In this work, we mainly present upper bounds on α2s(G),...
Let be an symmetric, irreducible, and nonnegative matrix whose eigenvalues are . In this paper we derive several lower and upper bounds, in particular on and , but also, indirectly, on . The bounds are in terms of the diagonal entries of the group generalized inverse, , of the singular and irreducible M-matrix . Our starting point is a spectral resolution for . We consider the case of equality in some of these inequalities and we apply our results to the algebraic connectivity of undirected...
We consider branching random walks with binary search trees as underlying trees. We show that the occupation measure of the branching random walk, up to some scaling factors, converges weakly to a deterministic measure. The limit depends on the stable law whose domain of attraction contains the law of the increments. The existence of such stable law is our fundamental hypothesis. As a consequence, using a one-to-one correspondence between binary trees and plane trees, we give a description of the...
Dohmen [4] gives a simple inductive proof of Whitney’s famous broken circuits theorem. We generalise his inductive proof to the case of matroids
