Reversing monoid actions and domination in graphs

Combinatorics 2022-06-07 v2

Abstract

Given a graph G=(V,E)G=(V,E), a set of vertices DVD\subseteq V is called a dominating set if every vertex in V\DV\backslash D is adjacent to a vertex in DD, and a subset BVB\subseteq V is called a nonblocking set if VBV-B is a dominating set. In this paper, we introduce a graph dynamical systems detecting vertex sets that are simultaneously dominating and nonblocking sets via reversing the action of the system. Moreover, by using actions of multiple such graph dynamical systems we define actions of free monoid on two letters for which elements in the reverse action corresponds to more special dominating sets.
