Graph Configurations and Independent Bondage Numbers of Planar Graphs

Combinatorics 2024-02-06 v1

Abstract

The independent domination number of a finite graph G is the minimum cardinality of an independent dominating set of vertices. The independent bondage number of G is the minimum cardinality of a set of edges whose deletion results in a graph with a larger independent domination number than that of G. In this research, we enhance the existing upper bound on the independent bondage number of a planar graph with a minimum degree of at least three by identifying specific configurations within such planar graphs.
