Let $G=(V, E)$ be a simple and undirected graph. For some integer $k\geq 1$, a set $D\subseteq V$ is said to be a k-dominating set in $G$ if every vertex $v$ of $G$ outside $D$ has at least $k$ neighbors in $D$. Furthermore, for some real…

We study the parameterized complexity of domination-type problems. (sigma,rho)-domination is a general and unifying framework introduced by Telle: a set D of vertices of a graph G is (sigma,rho)-dominating if for any v in D, |N(v)\cap D| in…

Generalizing work on graphs, Chang and Roussel introduced $k$-power domination in hypergraphs and conjectured the upper bound for the $k$-power domination number for $r$-uniform hypergraphs on $n$ vertices was $\frac{n}{r+k}$. This upper…

Different types of domination on the Sierpi\'nski graphs S(K_n,t) will be studied in this paper. More precisely, we propose a minimal dominating set for S(K_n,t) so that the exact values of their domination numbers, Roman domination…

In this paper, we study the behaviour of the generalized power domination number of a graph by small changes on the graph, namely edge and vertex deletion and edge contraction. We prove optimal bounds for $\gamma\_{p,k}(G-e)$,…

This paper considers the following three Roman domination graph invariants on Kneser graphs: Roman domination, total Roman domination, and signed Roman domination. For Kneser graph $K_{n,k}$, we present exact values for Roman domination…

We show a new proof for the fact that when $\kappa$ and $\lambda$ are infinite cardinals satisfying $\lambda ^ \kappa = \lambda$, the cofinality of the set of all functions from $\lambda$ to $\kappa$ ordered by everywhere domination is…

In a graph $G$, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbours. A set $D\subseteq V(G)$ is said to be a $k$-tuple dominating set of $G$ if $D$ dominates every vertex of $G$ at least $k$ times. The minimum cardinality among all $k$-tuple…

The structure of minimal weight rainbow domination functions of cubic graphs are studied. Based on general observations for cubic graphs, generalized Petersen graphs $P(ck,k)$ are characterized whose 4- and 5-rainbow domination numbers…

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…

In this note, we generalize the concepts of (perfect) Roman and Italian dominations to (perfect) strong Roman and Roman k-domination for arbitrary positive integer k. These generalizations cover some of previous ones. After some comparison…

Roman domination and its higher-order extensions have attracted considerable attention due to their natural interpretation in terms of defensive resource allocation on networks. The recently introduced $[k]$-Roman domination framework…

We study k-dependence and half domination problems for king's graphs in dimension n (n>1). Various sharp bounds are provided and a few conjectures are formulated in the cases the estimates are not the best possible.

The notion of power domination arises in the context of monitoring an electric power system with as few phase measurement units as possible. The $k-$power domination number of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a $k-$power dominating…

In this follow-up to [M.G.~Cornet, P.~Torres, arXiv:2308.15603], where the $k$-tuple domination number and the 2-packing number in Kneser graphs $K(n,r)$ were studied, we are concerned with two variations, the $k$-domination number,…

Zero forcing and power domination are iterative processes on graphs where an initial set of vertices are observed, and additional vertices become observed based on some rules. In both cases, the goal is to eventually observe the entire…
