Odd and residue domination numbers of a graph

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

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

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.

On a Spanning k-Tree in which Specified Vertices Have Degree Less Than k

Hajime Matsumura (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A k-tree is a tree with maximum degree at most k. In this paper, we give a degree sum condition for a graph to have a spanning k-tree in which specified vertices have degree less than k. We denote by σk(G) the minimum value of the degree sum of k independent vertices in a graph G. Let k ≥ 3 and s ≥ 0 be integers, and suppose G is a connected graph and σk(G) ≥ |V (G)|+s−1. Then for any s specified vertices, G contains a spanning k-tree in which every specified vertex has degree less than k. The degree...

On arbitrarily vertex decomposable unicyclic graphs with dominating cycle

Sylwia Cichacz, Irmina A. Zioło (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A graph G of order n is called arbitrarily vertex decomposable if for each sequence (n₁,...,nₖ) of positive integers such that i = 1 k n i = n , there exists a partition (V₁,...,Vₖ) of vertex set of G such that for every i ∈ 1,...,k the set V i induces a connected subgraph of G on n i vertices. We consider arbitrarily vertex decomposable unicyclic graphs with dominating cycle. We also characterize all such graphs with at most four hanging vertices such that exactly two of them have a common neighbour.
