Abstract

Let G=(V,E)G=(V, E) be a simple undirected graph. A closed neighbourhood of an edge e=uve=uv between two vertices uu and vv of GG, denoted by NG[e]N_G[e], is the set of vertices in the neighbourhood of uu and vv including {u,v}\{u,v\}. A subset LL of VV is said to be liar's vertex-edge dominating set if (i)(i) for every edge eEe\in E, NG[e]L2|N_G[e]\cap L|\geq 2 and (ii)(ii) for every pair of distinct edges e,ee,e', (NG[e]NG[e])L3|(N_G[e]\cup N_G[e'])\cap L|\geq 3. The minimum liar's vertex-edge domination problem is to find the liar's vertex-edge dominating set of minimum cardinality. In this article, we show that the liar's vertex-edge domination problem is NP-complete in unit disk graphs, and we design a polynomial time approximation scheme(PTAS) for the minimum liar's vertex-edge domination problem in unit disk graphs.
