In a graph G, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors. A subset S of V is called a dominating set in G if every vertex in V is dominated by at least one vertex in S. The domination number gamma G is the minimum cardinality of a…

A set $W\subseteq V(G)$ is called a resolving set, if for each two distinct vertices $u,v\in V(G)$ there exists $w\in W$ such that $d(u,w)\neq d(v,w)$, where $d(x,y)$ is the distance between the vertices $x$ and $y$. The minimum cardinality…

We propose the conjecture that the domination number $\gamma(G)$ of a $\Delta$-regular graph $G$ with $\Delta\geq 1$ is always at most its edge domination number $\gamma_e(G)$, which coincides with the domination number of its line graph.…

The 2-domination number $\gamma_2(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a set $ D \subseteq V(G) $ for which every vertex outside $ D $ is adjacent to at least two vertices in $ D $. Clearly, $ \gamma_2(G) $ cannot be smaller…

A set of vertices of a graph $G$ such that each vertex of $G$ is either in the set or is adjacent to a vertex in the set is called a dominating set of $G$. If additionally, the set of vertices induces a connected subgraph of $G$ then the…

A graph $G$ is a \emph{cover} of a graph $F$ if there exists an onto mapping $\pi : V(G) \to V(F)$, called a (\emph{covering}) \emph{projection}, such that $\pi$ maps the neighbours of any vertex $v$ in $G$ bijectively onto the neighbours…

In this short paper, we establish relations between the domination number $\gamma$, the total domination number $\gamma_t$, and the connected domination number $\gamma_c$ of a graph. In particular, we prove upper and lower bounds for…

A vertex subset $S$ of a graph $G$ is a dominating set if every vertex of $G$ either belongs to $S$ or is adjacent to a vertex of $S$. The cardinality of a smallest dominating set is called the dominating number of $G$ and is denoted by…

The total domination number $\gamma_{t}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a smallest set $D\subseteq V(G)$ such that each vertex of $G$ has a neighbor in $D$. The annihilation number $a(G)$ of $G$ is the largest integer $k$ such that…

Let $\gamma(G)$ denote the domination number of a graph $G$. A {\it Roman domination function} of a graph $G$ is a function $f: V\to\{0,1,2\}$ such that every vertex with 0 has a neighbor with 2. The {\it Roman domination number}…

In a directed graph $D$, a vertex subset $S\subseteq V$ is a total dominating set if every vertex of $D$ has an in-neighbor from $S$. A total dominating set exists if and only if every vertex has at least one in-neighbor. We call the…

A set $S\subseteq V$ is a dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V - S$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $S$. The domination number $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ equals the minimum cardinality of a dominating set $S$ in $G$; we say that such a…

The distinguishing number (index) $D(G)$ ($D'(G)$) of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an vertex labeling (edge labeling) with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. A set $S$ of vertices in $G$…

A dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set $D\subseteq V(G)$ such that \-every vertex of $G$ is either in $D$ or is adjacent to a vertex in $D$. The domination number of $G$, $\gamma(G)$, is the minimum order of a dominating set. A subset $R$…

For any graph G = (V, E) and proportion $p\in(0,1]$, a set $S\subseteq V$ is a p-dominating set if $\frac{|N[S]|}{|V|}\geq p$. The $p$-domination number $\gamma_{p}(G)$ equals the minimum cardinality of a $p$-dominating set in G. For a…

In this paper, we define a new domination-like invariant of graphs. Let $\mathbb{R}^{+}$ be the set of non-negative numbers. Let $c\in \mathbb{R}^{+}-\{0\}$ be a number, and let $G$ be a graph. A function $f:V(G)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{+}$…

A dominating set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices of $G$ such that every vertex outside $S$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. A connected dominating set in $G$ is a dominating set $S$ such that the subgraph $G[S]$ induced by $S$ is…

Given a simple graph $G$, a dominating set in $G$ is a set of vertices $S$ such that every vertex not in $S$ has a neighbor in $S$. Denote the domination number, which is the size of any minimum dominating set of $G$, by $\gamma(G)$. For…

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,…

A dominating broadcast on a graph G with vertex set V is a function f that maps V to {0,1,...,diam(G)} such that f(v) does not exceed e(v) (the eccentricity of v) for all vertices v, and each vertex u is at distance at most f(v) from a…
