The domination number of a finite graph $G$ with vertex set $V$ is the cardinality of the smallest set $S\subseteq V$ such that for every vertex $v\in V$ either $v\in S$ or $v$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. A set $S$ satisfying these…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph and $t,r$ be positive integers. The signal that a vertex $v$ receives from a tower of signal strength $t$ located at vertex $T$ is defined as $sig(v,T)=max(t-dist(v,T),0)$, where $dist(v,T)$ denotes the distance…

A function $f:V(G)\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}^+ \cup \{0\}$ is a resolving broadcast of a graph $G$ if, for any distinct $x,y\in V(G)$, there exists a vertex $z\in V(G)$ with $f(z)>0$ such that $\min\{d(x,z), f(z)+1\} \neq \min\{d(y,z),…

For an undirected graph $G$, a dominating broadcast on $G$ is a function $f : V(G) \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ such that for any vertex $u \in V(G)$, there exists a vertex $v \in V(G)$ with $f(v) \geqslant 1$ and $d(u,v) \leqslant f(v)$. The…

In 2001, Erwin introduced broadcast domination in graphs. It is a variant of classical domination where selected vertices may have different domination powers. The minimum cost of a dominating broadcast in a graph $G$ is denoted…

A broadcast on a nontrivial connected graph G with vertex set V is a function f from V to {0,1,...,diam(G)} such that f(v) is at most the eccentricity of v for all vertices v. The weight of f is the sum of the function values taken over V.…

Blessing, Insko, Johnson and Mauretour gave a generalization of the domination number of a graph $G=(V,E)$ called the $(t,r)$ broadcast domination number which depends on the positive integer parameters $t$ and $r$. In this setting, a…

In a graph $ G $, a subset of vertices $ S $ is called an efficient dominating set (EDS) if every vertex in the graph is uniquely dominated by exactly one vertex in $ S $. A graph is said to be efficiently dominatable if it contains an EDS.…

An edge dominating set $F$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is an \textit{edge cut dominating set} if the subgraph $\langle V,G-F \rangle$ is disconnected. The \textit{edge cut domination number} $\gamma_{ct}(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of an…

Limited dominating broadcasts were proposed as a variant of dominating broadcasts, where the broadcast function is upper bounded. As a natural extension of domination, we consider dominating $2$-broadcasts along with the associated…

In this paper we initiate the study of broadcast dimension, a variant of metric dimension. Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$, and let $d(u,w)$ denote the length of a $u-w$ geodesic in $G$. For $k \ge 1$, let $d_k(x,y)=\min \{d(x,y),…
