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...

Bounds on the Signed 2-Independence Number in Graphs

Lutz Volkmann (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G be a finite and simple graph with vertex set V (G), and let f V (G) → {−1, 1} be a two-valued function. If ∑x∈N|v| f(x) ≤ 1 for each v ∈ V (G), where N[v] is the closed neighborhood of v, then f is a signed 2-independence function on G. The weight of a signed 2-independence function f is w(f) =∑v∈V (G) f(v). The maximum of weights w(f), taken over all signed 2-independence functions f on G, is the signed 2-independence number α2s(G) of G. In this work, we mainly present upper bounds...

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.

Graphs with disjoint dominating and paired-dominating sets

Justin Southey, Michael Henning (2010)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

A dominating set of a graph is a set of vertices such that every vertex not in the set is adjacent to a vertex in the set, while a paired-dominating set of a graph is a dominating set such that the subgraph induced by the dominating set contains a perfect matching. In this paper, we show that no minimum degree is sufficient to guarantee the existence of a disjoint dominating set and a paired-dominating set. However, we prove that the vertex set of every cubic graph can be partitioned...
