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,...

On Unique Minimum Dominating Sets in Some Cartesian Product Graphs

Jason T. Hedetniemi (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Unique minimum vertex dominating sets in the Cartesian product of a graph with a complete graph are considered. We first give properties of such sets when they exist. We then show that when the first factor of the product is a tree, consideration of the tree alone is sufficient to determine if the product has a unique minimum dominating set.

Trees with equal 2-domination and 2-independence numbers

Mustapha Chellali, Nacéra Meddah (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A subset S of V is a 2-dominating set if every vertex of V-S is dominated at least 2 times, and S is a 2-independent set of G if every vertex of S has at most one neighbor in S. The minimum cardinality of a 2-dominating set a of G is the 2-domination number γ₂(G) and the maximum cardinality of a 2-independent set of G is the 2-independence number β₂(G). Fink and Jacobson proved that γ₂(G) ≤ β₂(G) for every graph G. In this paper we provide a constructive characterization...

Lower bounds for the domination number

Ermelinda Delaviña, Ryan Pepper, Bill Waller (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this note, we prove several lower bounds on the domination number of simple connected graphs. Among these are the following: the domination number is at least two-thirds of the radius of the graph, three times the domination number is at least two more than the number of cut-vertices in the graph, and the domination number of a tree is at least as large as the minimum order of a maximal matching.

Characterization of block graphs with equal 2-domination number and domination number plus one

Adriana Hansberg, Lutz Volkmann (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G be a simple graph, and let p be a positive integer. A subset D ⊆ V(G) is a p-dominating set of the graph G, if every vertex v ∈ V(G)-D is adjacent with at least p vertices of D. The p-domination number γₚ(G) is the minimum cardinality among the p-dominating sets of G. Note that the 1-domination number γ₁(G) is the usual domination number γ(G). If G is a nontrivial connected block graph, then we show that γ₂(G) ≥ γ(G)+1, and we characterize all connected block...

Trees with equal total domination and total restrained domination numbers

Xue-Gang Chen, Wai Chee Shiu, Hong-Yu Chen (2008)

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...

On Graphs with Disjoint Dominating and 2-Dominating Sets

Michael A. Henning, Douglas F. Rall (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A DD2-pair of a graph G is a pair (D,D2) of disjoint sets of vertices of G such that D is a dominating set and D2 is a 2-dominating set of G. Although there are infinitely many graphs that do not contain a DD2-pair, we show that every graph with minimum degree at least two has a DD2-pair. We provide a constructive characterization of trees that have a DD2-pair and show that K3,3 is the only connected graph with minimum degree at least three for which D ∪ D2 necessarily contains all vertices...

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.
