Abstract

A dominating set of a graph GG is a set of vertices DD such that for all vV(G)v \in V(G), either vDv \in D or (v,d)E(G)(v,d) \in E(G) for some dDd \in D. The cardinality redundance of a vertex set SS, CR(S)CR(S), is the number of vertices in V(G)V(G) such that N[x]S2|N[x] \cap S| \geq 2. The cardinality redundance of GG is the minimum of CR(S)CR(S) taken over all dominating sets SS. A set that achieves CR(G)CR(G) is a γcr\gamma_{cr}-set, and the size of the minimum γcr\gamma_{cr}-set is γcr(G)\gamma_{cr}(G). We give the maximum number of edges in a graph with a given number of vertices and given cardinality redundance. In the cases that CR(G)=0CR(G)=0, 11, or 22, we give the minimum and maximum number of edges of graphs where γcr(G)\gamma_{cr}(G) is fixed. We give the minimum and maximum values of γcr(G)\gamma_{cr}(G) when the number of edges are fixed and CR(G)=0,1CR(G)=0,1, and we give the maximum values of γcr(G)\gamma_{cr}(G) when the number of edges are fixed and CR(G)=2CR(G)=2.
