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.

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:

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,...

A Reduction of the Graph Reconstruction Conjecture

S. Monikandan, J. Balakumar (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph is said to be reconstructible if it is determined up to isomor- phism from the collection of all its one-vertex deleted unlabeled subgraphs. Reconstruction Conjecture (RC) asserts that all graphs on at least three vertices are reconstructible. In this paper, we prove that interval-regular graphs and some new classes of graphs are reconstructible and show that RC is true if and only if all non-geodetic and non-interval-regular blocks G with diam(G) = 2 or diam(Ḡ) = diam(G) = 3...

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.

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...
