For a graphical property $\mathcal{P}$ and a graph $G$, a subset $S$ of vertices of $G$ is a $\mathcal{P}$-set if the subgraph induced by $S$ has the property $\mathcal{P}$. The domination number with respect to the property $\mathcal{P}$,…

A disjunctive dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set $D \subseteq V(G)$ such that every vertex in $V(G)\setminus D$ has a neighbor in $D$ or has at least two vertices in $D$ at distance $2$ from it. The disjunctive domination number of $G$,…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connected graph. A set of vertices $S\subseteq V$ is said to be a dominating set if for any vertex in $V\setminus S$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $S$. The domination number $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ is the…

We introduce and study the dominated edge coloring of a graph. A dominated edge coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper edge coloring of $G$ such that each color class is dominated by at least one edge of $G$. The minimum number of colors among…

A signed graph $(G, \sigma)$ is a graph $G$ along with a function $\sigma: E(G) \to \{+,-\}$. A closed walk of a signed graph is positive (resp., negative) if it has an even (resp., odd) number of negative edges, counting repetitions. A…

A vertex set $S$ of a graph $G$ is a \emph{dominating set} if each vertex of $G$ either belongs to $S$ or is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. The \emph{domination number} $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of $S$ as $S$ varies over…
