The domination polynomial of a graph is the polynomial whose coefficients count the number of dominating sets of each cardinality. A recent question asks which graphs are uniquely determined (up to isomorphism) by their domination…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connected graph. A set of vertices $S\subseteq V$ is said to be a dominating set if for any vertex in $V\setminus S$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $S$. The domination number $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ is the…

A subset $D$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a dominating set if for each $u\in V(G)\setminus D$, $u$ is adjacent to some vertex $v\in D$. The domination number, $\gamma(G)$ of $G$, is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of $G$. For…

We present an algorithm to compute the domination polynomial of the $m \times n$ grid, cylinder, and torus graphs and the king graph. The time complexity of the algorithm is $O(m^2n^2 \lambda^{2m})$ for the torus and $O(m^3n^2\lambda^m)$…

The independent domination number $i(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a maximal independent set of $G$, also called an $i(G)$-set. The $i$-graph of $G$, denoted $\mathscr{I}(G)$, is the graph whose vertices correspond to the…

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…

Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$. The domination polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial $D(G,\lambda)=\sum_{i=0}^{n} d(G,i) \lambda^{i}$, where $d(G,i)$ is the number of dominating sets of $G$ of size $i$. Every root of $D(G,\lambda)$ is…

A dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set $D\subseteq V_G$ such that every vertex in $V_G-D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$, and the domination number $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of $G$. In…

A set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G(V,E)$ is called a dominating set if every vertex $v\in V$ is either an element of $S$ or is adjacent to an element of $S$. A set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G(V,E)$ is called a total dominating set if…

A "signed graph" is a graph $\Gamma$ where the edges are assigned sign labels, either "$+$" or "$-$". The sign of a cycle is the product of the signs of its edges. Let $\mathrm{SpecC}(\Gamma)$ denote the list of lengths of cycles in…

Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be disjoint copies of a graph $G$, and let $f: V(G_1) \rightarrow V(G_2)$ be a function. Then a \emph{functigraph} $C(G, f)=(V, E)$ has the vertex set $V=V(G_1) \cup V(G_2)$ and the edge set $E=E(G_1) \cup E(G_2) \cup…

We study relations between diameter $D(G)$, domination number $\gamma(G)$, independence number $\alpha(G)$ and cop number $c(G)$ of a connected graph $G$, showing (i.) $c(G) \leq \alpha(G)-\lfloor \frac{D(G)-3}{2} \rfloor$, and (ii.) $c(G)…

A signed graph $(G, \sigma)$ is a graph with a sign attached to each of its edges, where $G$ is the underlying graph of $(G, \sigma)$. Let $c(G)$, $\alpha(G)$ and $r(G, \sigma)$ be the cyclomatic number, the independence number and the rank…

Let $G$ be a graph without isolated vertices. The total domination number of $G$ is the minimum number of vertices that can dominate all vertices in $G$, and the paired domination number of $G$ is the minimum number of vertices in a…

Using the domination parameters of Cayley graphs constructed out of $\mathbb{Z}_{p}\times \mathbb{Z}_{m}$, where $m\in\{p^{\alpha}, p^{\alpha}q^{\beta}, p^{\alpha}q^{\beta}r^{\gamma}\},$ in this paper we are discussing about the total and…

Let $D=(V,A)$ be a digraph. A subset $S$ of $V$ is called a twin dominating set of $D$ if for every vertex $v\in V-S$, there exists vertices $u_1,u_2 \in S$ such that $(v,u_1)$ and $(u_2,v)$ are arcs in $D$. The minimum cardinality of a…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, a function $f:V\rightarrow \{0,1,2,3\}$ having the property that if $f(v)=0$, then there exist $ v_{1},v_{2}\in N(v)$ such that $f(v_{1})=f(v_{2})=2$ or there exists $ w \in N(v)$ such that $f(w)=3$, and if…

The first three authors [European J. Combin. 33 (2012), 62--71] established a relationship between the transversal number and the domination number of uniform hypergraphs. In this paper, we establish a relationship between the total…

In any graph $G$, the domination number $\gamma(G)$ is at most the independence number $\alpha(G)$. The Inverse Domination Conjecture says that, in any isolate-free $G$, there exists pair of vertex-disjoint dominating sets $D, D'$ with…
