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

The $k$-rainbow domination problem is studied for regular graphs. We prove that the $k$-rainbow domination number $\gamma_{rk}(G)$ of a $d$-regular graph for $d\leq k\leq 2d$ is bounded below by $\displaystyle{\left\lceil…

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…

A fair dominating set in a graph $G$ (or FD-set) is a dominating set $S$ such that all vertices not in $S$ are dominated by the same number of vertices from $S$; that is, every two vertices not in $S$ have the same number of neighbors in…

Graph packing generally deals with unlabeled graphs. In \cite{EHRT11}, the authors have introduced a new variant of the graph packing problem, called the \textit{labeled packing of a graph}. This problem has recently been studied on trees…

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…

Power domination in graphs emerged from the problem of monitoring an electrical system by placing as few measurement devices in the system as possible. It corresponds to a variant of domination that includes the possibility of propagation.…

We establish upper and lower bounds for the 2-limited broadcast domination number of various grid graphs, in particular the Cartesian product of two paths, a path and a cycle, and two cycles. The upper bounds are derived by explicit…

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.…

Given a graph G, the domination number gamma(G) of G is the minimum order of a set S of vertices such that each vertex not in S is adjacent to some vertex in S. Equivalently, label the vertices from {0, 1} so that the sum over each closed…

The k-domination number of a graph is the minimum size of a set X such that every vertex of G is in distance at most k from X. We give a linear time constant-factor approximation algorithm for k-domination number in classes of graphs with…

Given feasible strongly regular graph parameters $(v,k,\lambda,\mu)$ and a non-negative integer $d$, we determine upper and lower bounds on the order of a $d$-regular induced subgraph of any strongly regular graph with parameters…

In this paper we study combinatorial and algorithmic resp. complexity questions of upper domination, i.e., the maximum cardinality of a minimal dominating set in a graph. We give a full classification of the related maximisation and…

The cage problem concerns finding $(k,g)$-graphs, which are $k$-regular graphs with girth $g$, of the smallest possible number of vertices. The central goal is to determine $n(k,g)$, the minimum order of such a graph, and to identify…

Roman-type domination parameters form an important class of graph invariants that model protection and resource allocation problems on networks. Among them, $[k]$-Roman domination provides a unified framework that generalizes Roman, double…

Let $G$ be a graph and $\gamma (G)$ denote the domination number of $G$, i.e. the cardinality of a smallest set of vertices $S$ such that every vertex of $G$ is either in $S$ or adjacent to a vertex in $S$. Matheson and Tarjan conjectured…

We investigate the domination polynomial of the co-maximal graph $\Gamma(\mathbb{Z}_n)$ related to the ring of integers modulo $n$. Explicit formulas are derived for \( n = p^{n_1} \) and \( n = p^{n_1}q^{n_2} \), demonstrating that the…
