A $k$-tuple total dominating set ($k$TDS) of a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices in which every vertex in $G$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in $S$; the minimum size of a $k$TDS is denoted $\gamma_{\times k,t}(G)$. We give a…

A graph is reconstructible if it is determined up to isomorphism from the collection of all its one-vertex-deleted subgraphs, known as the deck of G. The Reconstruction Conjecture (RC) posits that every finite simple graph with at least…

In this paper we study the the average order of dominating sets in a graph, $\operatorname{avd}(G)$. Like other average graph parameters, the extremal graphs are of interest. Beaton and Brown (2021) conjectured that for all graphs $G$ of…

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. A set $I_0(G) \subseteq V(G)$ is a vertex independent set if no two vertices in $I_0(G)$ are adjacent in $G$. We study $\alpha_1(G)$, which is the maximum cardinality of a set…

A set S of vertices in a graph G is a dominating set of G if every vertex not in S is adjacent to a vertex in S . The domination number of G, denoted by $\gamma$(G), is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set in G. In a breakthrough…

An old conjecture of Zs. Tuza says that for any graph $G$, the ratio of the minimum size, $\tau_3(G)$, of a set of edges meeting all triangles to the maximum size, $\nu_3(G)$, of an edge-disjoint triangle packing is at most 2. Here,…

In this paper we introduce and study a new graph invariant derived from the degree sequence of a graph $G$, called the sub-$k$-domination number and denoted $sub_k(G)$. We show that $sub_k(G)$ is a computationally efficient sharp lower…

A graph is said to be well-edge-dominated if all its minimal edge dominating sets are minimum. It is known that every well-edge-dominated graph $G$ is also equimatchable, meaning that every maximal matching in $G$ is maximum. In this paper,…

This paper considers multiple domination on Kneser graphs. We focus on $k$-tuple dominating sets, $2$-packings and the associated graph parameters $k$-tuple domination number and $2$-packing number. In particular, we compute the $2$-packing…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. According to Tur\'{a}n's theorem, if $G$ is $K_{r+1}$-free, then $m \leq |E(T(n, r))|,$ where $T(n, r)$ denotes the Tur\'{a}n graph on $n$ vertices with a maximum clique of order…

Let $G$ be a graph and let $S\subseteq V(G)$. The set $S$ is a double outer-independent dominating set of $G$ if $|N[v]\cap D|\geq2$, for all $v\in V(G)$, and $V(G)\setminus S$ is independent. Similarly, $S$ is a $2$-outer-independent…

A graph is $k$-connected if it has $k$ internally-disjoint paths between every pair of nodes. A subset $S$ of nodes in a graph $G$ is a $k$-connected set if the subgraph $G[S]$ induced by $S$ is $k$-connected; $S$ is an $m$-dominating set…

The isolation number of a graph $G$ (also called the vertex-edge domination number of $G$), denoted by $\iota(G)$, is the size of a smallest subset $D$ of the vertex set $V(G)$ of $G$ such that $G-N[D]$ (the graph obtained by deleting the…

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…

A total dominating set of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset $D$ of $V$ such that every vertex in $V$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. The total domination number of $G$, denoted by $\gamma _t (G)$, is the minimum cardinality of a…

A set $D$ of vertices in $G$ is a disjunctive dominating set in $G$ if every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to a vertex of $D$ or has at least two vertices in $D$ at distance $2$ from it in $G$. The disjunctive domination number,…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A set $I\subseteq V$ is an independent set, if no two of its members are adjacent in $G$. The $k$-independent graph of $G$, $I_k (G)$, is defined to be the graph whose vertices correspond to the independent…

A subset $D\subseteq V_G$ is a dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V_G-D$ has a~neighbor in $D$, while $D$ is a paired-dominating set of $G$ if $D$ is a~dominating set and the subgraph induced by $D$ contains a perfect matching. A…

Given a graph $G = (V, E)$, a set $S \subseteq V \cup E$ of vertices and edges is called a mixed dominating set if every vertex and edge that is not included in $S$ happens to be adjacent or incident to a member of $S$. The mixed domination…
