Total domination versus paired domination
A dominating set of a graph G is a vertex subset that any vertex of G either belongs to or is adjacent to. A total dominating set is a dominating set whose induced subgraph does not contain isolated vertices. The minimal size of a total dominating set, the total domination number, is denoted by γₜ. The maximal size of an inclusionwise minimal total dominating set, the upper total domination number, is denoted by Γₜ. A paired dominating set is a dominating set whose induced subgraph has a perfect...
