Domination Parameters of a Graph and its Complement

Wyatt J. Desormeaux, Teresa W. Haynes, Michael A. Henning (2018)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A dominating set in a graph G is a set S of vertices such that every vertex in V (G) S is adjacent to at least one vertex in S, and the domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G. Placing constraints on a dominating set yields different domination parameters, including total, connected, restrained, and clique domination numbers. In this paper, we study relationships among domination parameters of a graph and its complement.

Various Bounds for Liar’s Domination Number

Abdollah Alimadadi, Doost Ali Mojdeh, Nader Jafari Rad (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A set S ⊆ V is a dominating set if Uv∈S N[v] = V , where N[v] is the closed neighborhood of v. Let L ⊆ V be a dominating set, and let v be a designated vertex in V (an intruder vertex). Each vertex in L ∩ N[v] can report that v is the location of the intruder, but (at most) one x ∈ L ∩ N[v] can report any w ∈ N[x] as the intruder location or x can indicate that there is no intruder in N[x]. A dominating set L is called a liar’s dominating set if every v ∈ V...

On the Totalk-Domination in Graphs

Sergio Bermudo, Juan C. Hernández-Gómez, José M. Sigarreta (2018)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G = (V, E) be a graph; a set S ⊆ V is a total k-dominating set if every vertex v ∈ V has at least k neighbors in S. The total k-domination number γkt(G) is the minimum cardinality among all total k-dominating sets. In this paper we obtain several tight bounds for the total k-domination number of a graph. In particular, we investigate the relationship between the total k-domination number of a graph and the order, the size, the girth, the minimum and maximum degree, the diameter,...

Efficient (j,k)-domination

Robert R. Rubalcaba, Peter J. Slater (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A dominating set S of a graph G is called efficient if |N[v]∩ S| = 1 for every vertex v ∈ V(G). That is, a dominating set S is efficient if and only if every vertex is dominated exactly once. In this paper, we investigate efficient multiple domination. There are several types of multiple domination defined in the literature: k-tuple domination, {k}-domination, and k-domination. We investigate efficient versions of the first two as well as a new type of multiple domination.

A Gallai-type equality for the total domination number of a graph

Sanming Zhou (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We prove the following Gallai-type equality γₜ(G) + εₜ(G) = p for any graph G with no isolated vertex, where p is the number of vertices of G, γₜ(G) is the total domination number of G, and εₜ(G) is the maximum integer s such that there exists a spanning forest F with s the number of pendant edges of F minus the number of star components of F.

Total domination subdivision numbers of graphs

Teresa W. Haynes, Michael A. Henning, Lora S. Hopkins (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A set S of vertices in a graph G = (V,E) is a total dominating set of G if every vertex of V is adjacent to a vertex in S. The total domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set of G. The total domination subdivision number of G is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (where each edge in G can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the total domination number. First we establish bounds on the total domination subdivision number...

Partitioning a graph into a dominating set, a total dominating set, and something else

Michael A. Henning, Christian Löwenstein, Dieter Rautenbach (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A recent result of Henning and Southey (A note on graphs with disjoint dominating and total dominating set, Ars Comb. 89 (2008), 159-162) implies that every connected graph of minimum degree at least three has a dominating set D and a total dominating set T which are disjoint. We show that the Petersen graph is the only such graph for which D∪T necessarily contains all vertices of the graph.

Paired-domination

S. Fitzpatrick, B. Hartnell (1998)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We are interested in dominating sets (of vertices) with the additional property that the vertices in the dominating set can be paired or matched via existing edges in the graph. This could model the situation of guards or police where each has a partner or backup. This paper will focus on those graphs in which the number of matched pairs of a minimum dominating set of this type equals the size of some maximal matching in the graph. In particular, we characterize the leafless graphs of...

Vertices Contained In All Or In No Minimum Semitotal Dominating Set Of A Tree

Michael A. Henning, Alister J. Marcon (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G be a graph with no isolated vertex. In this paper, we study a parameter that is squeezed between arguably the two most important domination parameters; namely, the domination number, γ(G), and the total domination number, γt(G). A set S of vertices in a graph G is a semitotal dominating set of G if it is a dominating set of G and every vertex in S is within distance 2 of another vertex of S. The semitotal domination number, γt2(G), is the minimum cardinality of a semitotal dominating...

A Note on Non-Dominating Set Partitions in Graphs

Wyatt J. Desormeaux, Teresa W. Haynes, Michael A. Henning (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A set S of vertices of a graph G is a dominating set if every vertex not in S is adjacent to a vertex of S and is a total dominating set if every vertex of G is adjacent to a vertex of S. The cardinality of a minimum dominating (total dominating) set of G is called the domination (total domination) number. A set that does not dominate (totally dominate) G is called a non-dominating (non-total dominating) set of G. A partition of the vertices of G into non-dominating (non-total dominating)...

Trees with equal restrained domination and total restrained domination numbers

Joanna Raczek (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For a graph G = (V,E), a set D ⊆ V(G) is a total restrained dominating set if it is a dominating set and both ⟨D⟩ and ⟨V(G)-D⟩ do not have isolated vertices. The cardinality of a minimum total restrained dominating set in G is the total restrained domination number. A set D ⊆ V(G) is a restrained dominating set if it is a dominating set and ⟨V(G)-D⟩ does not contain an isolated vertex. The cardinality of a minimum restrained dominating set in G is the restrained domination number. We...

The bondage number of graphs: good and bad vertices

Vladimir Samodivkin (2008)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The domination number γ(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of vertices in a set D such that every vertex of the graph is either in D or is adjacent to a member of D. Any dominating set D of a graph G with |D| = γ(G) is called a γ-set of G. A vertex x of a graph G is called: (i) γ-good if x belongs to some γ-set and (ii) γ-bad if x belongs to no γ-set. The bondage number b(G) of a nonempty graph G is the cardinality of a smallest set of edges whose removal from G results in a graph...

On the p-domination number of cactus graphs

Mostafa Blidia, Mustapha Chellali, Lutz Volkmann (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let p be a positive integer and G = (V,E) a graph. A subset S of V is a p-dominating set if every vertex of V-S is dominated at least p times. The minimum cardinality of a p-dominating set a of G is the p-domination number γₚ(G). It is proved for a cactus graph G that γₚ(G) ⩽ (|V| + |Lₚ(G)| + c(G))/2, for every positive integer p ⩾ 2, where Lₚ(G) is the set of vertices of G of degree at most p-1 and c(G) is the number of odd cycles in G.

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For a graph G = (V,E), a set S ⊆ V(G) is a total dominating set if it is dominating and both ⟨S⟩ has no isolated vertices. The cardinality of a minimum total dominating set in G is the total domination number. A set S ⊆ V(G) is a total restrained dominating set if it is total dominating and ⟨V(G)-S⟩ has no isolated vertices. The cardinality of a minimum total restrained dominating set in G is the total restrained domination number. We characterize all trees for which total domination...

Odd and residue domination numbers of a graph

Yair Caro, William F. Klostermeyer, John L. Goldwasser (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G = (V,E) be a simple, undirected graph. A set of vertices D is called an odd dominating set if |N[v] ∩ D| ≡ 1 (mod 2) for every vertex v ∈ V(G). The minimum cardinality of an odd dominating set is called the odd domination number of G, denoted by γ₁(G). In this paper, several algorithmic and structural results are presented on this parameter for grids, complements of powers of cycles, and other graph classes as well as for more general forms of "residue" domination.

Lutz Volkmann (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let k ≥ 1 be an integer. A signed total Roman k-dominating function on a graph G is a function f : V (G) → {−1, 1, 2} such that Ʃu2N(v) f(u) ≥ k for every v ∈ V (G), where N(v) is the neighborhood of v, and every vertex u ∈ V (G) for which f(u) = −1 is adjacent to at least one vertex w for which f(w) = 2. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of distinct signed total Roman k-dominating functions on G with the property that Ʃdi=1 fi(v) ≤ k for each v ∈ V (G), is called a signed total Roman k-dominating...

Saieed Akbari, Mohammad Motiei, Sahand Mozaffari, Sina Yazdanbod (2018)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G be a graph with no isolated vertex. A total dominating set of G is a set S of vertices of G such that every vertex is adjacent to at least one vertex in S. The total domatic number of a graph is the maximum number of total dominating sets which partition the vertex set of G. In this paper we provide a criterion under which a cubic graph has total domatic number at least two.
