The Maker-Breaker total domination number, $\gamma_{\rm MBT}(G)$, of a graph $G$ is introduced as the minimum number of moves of Dominator to win the Maker-Breaker total domination game, provided that he has a winning strategy and is the…

The domination game is played on a graph $G$ by two players, Dominator and Staller, who alternate in selecting vertices until each vertex in the graph $G$ is contained in the closed neighbourhood of the set of selected vertices. Dominator's…

The connected domination game is played just as the domination game, with an additional requirement that at each stage of the game the vertices played induce a connected subgraph. The number of moves in a D-game (an S-game, resp.) on a…

A set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a total dominating set of $G$ if every vertex is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. The total domination number $\gamma_t(G)$ is the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set of $G$. The total…

Let $ G $ be a graph. A subset $S \subseteq V(G) $ is called a total dominating set if every vertex of $G$ is adjacent to at least one vertex of $S$. The total domination number, $\gamma_{t}$($G$), is the minimum cardinality of a total…

In this paper we describe a strategy for Dominator that finishes the total domination game in at most $3/4n$ moves for every graph $G$ on $n$ vertices without any isolated vertices or edges, confirming the 3/4-conjecture for the total…

Domination game [SIAM J.\ Discrete Math.\ 24 (2010) 979--991] and total domination game [Graphs Combin.\ 31 (2015) 1453--1462] are by now well established games played on graphs by two players, named Dominator and Staller. In this paper,…

Given a directed graph $D$, a set $S \subseteq V(D)$ is a total dominating set of $D$ if each vertex in $D$ has an in-neighbor in $S$. The total domination number of $D$, denoted $\gamma_t(D)$, is the minimum cardinality among all total…

A vertex in a graph totally dominates another vertex if they are adjacent. A sequence of vertices in a graph $G$ is called a total dominating sequence if every vertex $v$ in the sequence totally dominates at least one vertex that was not…

Let $\gamma_g(G)$ be the game domination number of a graph $G$. It is proved that if ${\rm diam}(G) = 2$, then $\gamma_g(G) \le \left\lceil \frac{n(G)}{2} \right\rceil- \left\lfloor \frac{n(G)}{11}\right\rfloor$. The bound is attained: if…

Let $G$ be a graph with no isolated vertex. In this paper, we study a parameter that is a relaxation of arguably the most important domination parameter, namely the total domination number, $\gamma_t(G)$. A set $S$ of vertices in $G$ is a…

We study Maker--Breaker total domination game played by two players, Dominator and Staller, on the connected cubic graphs. Staller (playing the role of Maker) wins if she manages to claim an open neighbourhood of a vertex. Dominator wins…

A total dominating set of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset $D$ of $V$ such that every vertex in $V$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. The total domination number of $G$, denoted by $\gamma _t (G)$, is the minimum cardinality of a…

A set $S\subseteq V$ is a dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V - S$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $S$. The domination number $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ equals the minimum cardinality of a dominating set $S$ in $G$; we say that such a…

A set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a dominating set if every vertex of $G$ is in $S$ or is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. If, in addition, $S$ is an independent set, then $S$ is an independent dominating set. The domination number…

In the Maker-Breaker domination game played on a graph $G$, Dominator's goal is to select a dominating set and Staller's goal is to claim a closed neighborhood of some vertex. We study the cases when Staller can win the game. If Dominator…
