The total domination game is a two-person competitive optimization game, where the players, Dominator and Staller, alternately select vertices of an isolate-free graph $G$. Each vertex chosen must strictly increase the number of vertices…

Let G be a simple graph of order n. The domination polynomial of G is the polynomial D(G,x)=\sum_{i=\gamma(G)}^{n} d(G,i) x^{i}, where d(G,i) is the number of dominating sets of G of size i, and \gamma(G) is the domination number of G. In…

As a natural variant of domination in graphs, Dankelmann et al. [Domination with exponential decay, Discrete Math. 309 (2009) 5877-5883] introduce exponential domination, where vertices are considered to have some dominating power that…

A set $S\subseteq V$ in an isolate-free graph $G$ is a total restrained dominating set, abbreviated TRD-set, if every vertex in $V$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$, and every vertex in $V\setminus S$ is adjacent to a vertex in $V\setminus…

A graph $G$ is a DTDP-graph if it has a pair $(D,T)$ of disjoint sets of vertices of $G$ such that $D$ is a dominating set and $T$ is a total dominating set of $G$. Such graphs were studied in a number of research papers. In this paper we…

A set $D \subseteq V$ of a graph $G=(V, E)$ is a dominating set of $G$ if each vertex $v\in V\setminus D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D,$ whereas a set $D_2\subseteq V$ is a $2$-dominating (double dominating) set of $G$ if each…

The dominating graph of a graph G is a graph whose vertices correspond to the dominating sets of G and two vertices are adjacent whenever their corresponding dominating sets differ in exactly one vertex. Studying properties of dominating…

A polynomial is said to be unimodal if its coefficients are non-decreasing and then non-increasing. The domination polynomial of a graph $G$ is the generating function of the number of dominating sets of each cardinality in $G$. In…
