For a connected graph G = (V,E), a set D ⊆ V(G) is a dominating set of G if every vertex in V(G)-D has at least one neighbour in D. The distance between two vertices u and v is the length of a shortest (u-v) path in G. An (u-v) path of length is called an (u-v)-geodesic. A set X ⊆ V(G) is convex in G if vertices from all (a-b)-geodesics belong to X for any two vertices a,b ∈ X. A set X is a convex dominating set if it is convex and dominating. The convex domination number of a graph G is the...
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 into a dominating...
Let G = (V,E) be a graph. The distance between two vertices u and v in a connected graph G is the length of the shortest (u-v) path in G. A set D ⊆ V(G) is a dominating set if every vertex of G is at distance at most 1 from an element of D. The domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G. A set D ⊆ V(G) is a 2-distance dominating set if every vertex of G is at distance at most 2 from an element of D. The 2-distance domination number of G is the minimum cardinality...
In a graph G, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors. A subset S ⊆ V(G) is a double dominating set of G if S dominates every vertex of G at least twice. The minimum cardinality of a double dominating set of G is the double domination number . If G ≠ C₅ is a connected graph of order n with minimum degree at least 2, then we show that and we characterize those graphs achieving equality.
The generalized k-connectivity κk(G) of a graph G, introduced by Hager in 1985, is a nice generalization of the classical connectivity. Recently, as a natural counterpart, we proposed the concept of generalized k-edge-connectivity λk(G). In this paper, graphs of order n such that [...] for even k are characterized.
