An identifying code $C$ of a graph $G$ is a dominating set of $G$ such that any two distinct vertices of $G$ have distinct closed neighbourhoods within $C$. The smallest size of an identifying code of $G$ is denoted $\gamma^{\text{ID}}(G)$.…

In a graph $\Gamma$ with vertex set $V$, a subset $C$ of $V$ is called an $(a,b)$-perfect set if every vertex in $C$ has exactly $a$ neighbors in $C$ and every vertex in $V\setminus C$ has exactly $b$ neighbors in $C$, where $a$ and $b$ are…

A set $D\subseteq V$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is called a neighborhood total dominating set of $G$ if $D$ is a dominating set and the subgraph of $G$ induced by the open neighborhood of $D$ has no isolated vertex. Given a graph $G$,…

A locating-dominating set of a graph $G$ is a dominating set $D$ of $G$ with the additional property that every two distinct vertices outside $D$ have distinct neighbors in $D$; that is, for distinct vertices $u$ and $v$ outside $D$, $N(u)…

In a simple connected graph $G=(V,E)$, a subset of vertices $S \subseteq V$ is a dominating set if any vertex $v \in V\setminus S$ is adjacent to some vertex $x$ from this subset. A number of real-life problems can be modeled using this…

A set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G = (V, E)$ is called {\em cycle independent} if the induced subgraph $\langle S\rangle$ is acyclic, and called {\em odd-cycle indepdendet} if $\langle S\rangle$ is bipartite. A set $S$ is {\em cycle…

A dominating set $S$ of a graph $G$ is called locating-dominating, LD-set for short, if every vertex $v$ not in $S$ is uniquely determined by the set of neighbors of $v$ belonging to $S$. Locating-dominating sets of minimum cardinality are…

A locating-dominating set in an undirected graph is a subset of vertices $S$ such that $S$ is dominating and for every $u,v \notin S$, we have $N(u)\cap S\ne N(v)\cap S$. In this paper, we consider the oriented version of the problem. A…

Domination and coloring are two classic problems in graph theory. The major focus of this paper is the CD-COLORING problem which combines the flavours of domination and colouring. Let $G$ be an undirected graph. A proper vertex coloring of…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, $S\subseteq V$ is a dominating set if every $v\in V\setminus S$ is adjacent to an element of $S$. The Minimum Dominating Set problem asks for a dominating set with minimum cardinality. It is well known that its…

For a graph $G = (V, E)$ with vertex set $V$ and edge set $E$, a subset $F$ of $E$ is called an $\emph{edge dominating set}$ (resp. a $\emph{total edge dominating set}$) if every edge in $E\backslash F$ (resp. in $E$) is adjacent to at…
