Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A set S ⊆ V is a restrained dominating set if every vertex in V-S is adjacent to a vertex in S and to a vertex in V-S. The restrained domination number of G, denoted by , is the minimum cardinality of a restrained dominating set of G. A unicyclic graph is a connected graph that contains precisely one cycle. We show that if U is a unicyclic graph of order n, then , and provide a characterization of graphs achieving this bound.
Denote the total domination number of a graph G by γₜ(G). A graph G is said to be total domination edge critical, or simply γₜ-critical, if γₜ(G+e) < γₜ(G) for each edge e ∈ E(G̅). For 3ₜ-critical graphs G, that is, γₜ-critical graphs with γₜ(G) = 3, the diameter of G is either 2 or 3. We characterise the 3ₜ-critical graphs G with diam G = 3.
A set S of vertices of a graph G = (V,E) is a dominating set if every vertex of V-S is adjacent to some vertex in S. The domination number γ(G) is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G, and the domination subdivision number is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (each edge in G can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the domination number. Arumugam conjectured that for any graph G. We give a counterexample to this conjecture. On the other hand, we show...
