A dominating set $S$ of a graph is a metric-locating-dominating set if each vertex of the graph is uniquely distinguished by its distances from the elements of $S$, and the minimum cardinality of such a set is called the…
Retraction note: After posting the manuscript on arXiv, we were informed by Erik Jan van Leeuwen that both results were known and they appeared in his thesis[vL09]. A PTAS for MDS is at Theorem 6.3.21 on page 79 and A PTAS for MCDS is at…
A dominating set $D$ of a graph $G$ is a set of vertices such that any vertex in $G$ is in $D$ or its neighbor is in $D$. Enumeration of minimal dominating sets in a graph is one of central problems in enumeration study since enumeration of…
