Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. For any integer $k\geq 1$, a subset of $V$ is called a $k$-tuple total dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V$ has at least $k$ neighbors in the set. The minimum cardinality of a minimal $k$-tuple total…

A dominating set $S$ of a graph $G$ of order $n$ is a subset of the vertices of $G$ such that every vertex is either in $S$ or adjacent to a vertex of $S$. %The domination number $G$, denoted $\gamma (G)$, is the cardinality of the smallest…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. For some $\alpha$ with $0<\alpha \leq 1$, a subset $S$ of $V$ is said to be a $\alpha$-partial dominating set if $|N[S]|\geq \alpha |V|$. The size of a smallest such $S$ is called the $\alpha$-partial domination…

The inflated graph $G_{I}$ of a graph $G$ with $n(G)$ vertices is obtained from $G$ by replacing every vertex of degree $d$ of $G$ by a clique, which is isomorph to the complete graph $K_{d}$, and each edge $(x_{i},x_{j})$ of $G$ is…

For a graph $G$ let $\gamma (G)$ be its domination number. We define a graph G to be (i) a hypo-efficient domination graph (or a hypo-$\mathcal{ED}$ graph) if $G$ has no efficient dominating set (EDS) but every graph formed by removing a…
