Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple undirected graph. The open neighbourhood of a vertex $v$ in $G$ is defined as $N_G(v)=\{u\in V~|~ uv\in E\}$; whereas the closed neighbourhood is defined as $N_G[v]= N_G(v)\cup \{v\}$. For an integer $k$, a subset…

In a connected simple graph G = (V(G),E(G)), each vertex is assigned a color from the set of colors C={1, 2,..., c}. The set of vertices V(G) is partitioned as V_1, V_2, ... ,V_c, where all vertices in V_j share the same color j. A subset S…

A set $D\subseteq V$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is called a restrained dominating set of $G$ if every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to a vertex in $D$ and to a vertex in $V \setminus D$. The \textsc{Minimum Restrained Domination} problem is to…

A tessellation of a graph is a partition of its vertices into vertex disjoint cliques. A tessellation cover of a graph is a set of tessellations that covers all of its edges. The $t$-tessellability problem aims to decide whether there is a…
