An integer distance digraph is the Cayley graph $\Gamma(\mathbb{Z},S)$ of the additive group $\mathbb{Z}$ of all integers with respect to a finite subset $S\subseteq\mathbb{Z}$. The domination ratio of $\Gamma(\mathbb{Z},S)$, defined as the…

We develop a domination density framework for studying Vizings conjecture gamma(G square H) ge gamma(G)gamma(H). Recasting the conjecture in multiplicative density form we derive a bipartition imbalance sufficient condition for certain…

We find exact identities for sums of the form \begin{equation*}\label{eq:convsumabs} \sum_{\stackrel{n_1+n_2 = n}{n_1 \in \mathbb{Z} \setminus \{ 0, n \} }} Q(n_1,n_2) \sigma_{-r_1}(n_1) \sigma_{-r_2}(n_2), \end{equation*} where…

Given a directed graph $D$, a set $S \subseteq V(D)$ is a total dominating set of $D$ if each vertex in $D$ has an in-neighbor in $S$. The total domination number of $D$, denoted $\gamma_t(D)$, is the minimum cardinality among all total…

In this paper, we concentrate on counting and testing dominant polynomials with integer coefficients. A polynomial is called dominant if it has a simple root whose modulus is strictly greater than the moduli of its remaining roots. In…

The study of sums of finite sets of integers has mostly concentrated on sets with small sumsets (Freiman's theorem and related work) and on sets with large sumsets (Sidon sets and $B_h$-sets). This paper considers the sets ${\mathcal…

Let $G=(V, E)$ be a graph. A set $S\subseteq V(G)$ is a {\it dominating set} of $G$ if every vertex in $V\setminus S$ is adjacent to a vertex of $S$. The {\it domination number} of $G$, denoted by $\gamma(G)$, is the cardinality of a…

In $\textit{total domination}$, given a graph $G=(V,E)$, we seek a minimum-size set of nodes $S\subseteq V$, such that every node in $V$ has at least one neighbor in $S$. We define a $\textit{fault-tolerant}$ version of total domination,…

We investigate subsets with small sumset in arbitrary abelian groups. For an abelian group $G$ and an $n$-element subset $Y \subseteq G$ we show that if $m \ll s^2/(\log n)^2$, then the number of subsets $A \subseteq Y$ with $|A| = s$ and…

The domination polynomial D(G,x) is the ordinary generating function for the dominating sets of an undirected graph G=(V,E) with respect to their cardinality. We consider in this paper representations of D(G,x) as a sum over subsets of the…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. A subset $D$ of $V(G)$ is called a super dominating set if for every $v \in V(G)-D$ there exists an external private neighbour of $v$ with respect to $V(G)-D.$ The minimum cardinality of a super dominating set is…

In this paper we show that if $A$ is a subset of the primes with positive relative density $\delta$, then $A+A$ must have positive upper density $C_1\delta e^{-C_2(\log(1/\delta))^{2/3}(\log\log(1/\delta))^{1/3}}$ in $\mathbb{N}$. Our…

A subset $S$ of vertices of $G$ is a \textit{dominating set} of $G$ if every vertex in $V(G)-S$ has a neighbor in $S$. The \textit{domination number} \(\gamma(G)\) is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of $G$. A dominating set $S$…

Hindman's celebrated Finite Sums Theorem, and its high-dimensional version due to Milliken and Taylor, are extended from covers of countable sets to covers of arbitrary topological spaces with Menger's classic covering property. The methods…

For $S\subseteq V(G)$, we define $\bar{S}=V(G)\setminus S$. A set $S\subseteq V(G)$ is called a super dominating set if for every vertex $u\in \bar{S}$, there exists $v\in S$ such that $N(v)\cap \bar{S}=\{u\}$. The super domination number…

We outline a general algorithm for verifying whether a subset of the integers is a more sum than differences (MSTD) set, also known as sum dominated sets, and give estimates on its computational complexity. We conclude with some numerical…

Given a finite set $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}$, define the sum set $$A+A = \{a_i+a_j\mid a_i,a_j\in A\}$$ and the difference set $$A-A = \{a_i-a_j\mid a_i,a_j\in A\}.$$ The set $A$ is said to be sum-dominant if $|A+A|>|A-A|$. Hegarty used a…

Existence of long arithmetic progression in sumsets and subset sums has been studied extensively in the field of additive combinatorics. These additive combinatorics results play a central role in the recent progress of fundamental problems…

The aim of this paper is to study the dominant dimension of two important classes of finite dimensional algebras, namely, hereditary algebras and tree algebras. We derive an explicit formula for the dominant dimension of each class.
