The unitary Cayley graph of $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$, denoted $X_n$, is the graph on $\{0,\dots,n-1\}$ where vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent if and only if $\gcd(a-b,n) = 1$. We answer a question of Defant and Iyer by constructing a…

Let $X_{n}$ denote the unitary Cayley graph of $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$. We continue the study of cases in which the inequality $\gamma_t(X_n) \le g(n)$ is strict, where $\gamma_t$ denotes the total domination number, and $g$ is the…

A set $D$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is called dominating if every vertex of $G$ is either in $D$ or adjacent to a vertex of $D$. The paired domination number $\gamma_{\mathrm{pr}}(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum size of a dominating set whose…

The orientable domination number, ${\rm DOM}(G)$, of a graph $G$ is the largest domination number over all orientations of $G$. In this paper, ${\rm DOM}$ is studied on different product graphs and related graph operations. The orientable…

The unitary Cayley graph of $\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z$, denoted $G_{\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z}$, is the graph with vertices $0,1,\ldots,$ $n-1$ in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if their difference is relatively prime to $n$. These…

A longest sequence $(v_1,\ldots,v_k)$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a Grundy total dominating sequence of $G$ if for all $i$, $N(v_i) \setminus \bigcup_{j=1}^{i-1}N(v_j)\not=\emptyset$. The length $k$ of the sequence is called the Grundy…

Given a finite graph $G$, the maximum length of a sequence $(v_1,\ldots,v_k)$ of vertices in $G$ such that each $v_i$ dominates a vertex that is not dominated by any vertex in $\{v_1,\ldots,v_{i-1}\}$ is called the Grundy domination number,…

A dominating set $D$ for a graph $G$ is a subset of $V(G)$ such that any vertex not in $D$ has at least one neighbor in $D$. The domination number $\gamma(G)$ is the size of a minimum dominating set in $G$. Vizing's conjecture from 1968…

It is known that for any graph $G,$ $\gamma (G\square P_2)\geq \gamma (G)$ where $\gamma$ stands for the domination number, $\square$ for the cartesian product and $P_2$ is the path graph on two vertices. In an attempt to prove Vizing's…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite undirected graph. A set $S$ of vertices in $V$ is said to be total $k$-dominating if every vertex in $V$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in $S$. The total $k$-domination number, $\gamma_{kt}(G)$, is the…

Ho proved in [A note on the total domination number, Util.Math. 77 (2008) 97--100] that the total domination number of the Cartesian product of any two graphs with no isolated vertices is at least one half of the product of their total…

The Grundy domination number of a simple graph $G = (V,E)$ is the length of the longest sequence of unique vertices $S = (v_1, \ldots, v_k)$, $v_i \in V$, that satisfies the property $N[v_i] \setminus \cup_{j=1}^{i-1}N[v_j] \neq \emptyset$…

While a number of bounds are known on the zero forcing number $Z(G)$ of a graph $G$ expressed in terms of the order of a graph and maximum or minimum degree, we present two bounds that are related to the (upper) total domination number…

An integer distance digraph is the Cayley graph $\Gamma(\mathbb{Z},S)$ of the additive group $\mathbb{Z}$ of all integers with respect to a finite subset $S\subseteq\mathbb{Z}$. The domination ratio of $\Gamma(\mathbb{Z},S)$, defined as the…

In this article we give a new definition of direct product of two arbitrary fuzzy graphs. We define the concepts of domination and total domination in this new product graph. We obtain an upper bound for the total domination number of the…

A subset $S\subseteq V$ in a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a $k$-quasiperfect dominating set (for $k\geq 1$) if every vertex not in $S$ is adjacent to at least one and at most $k$ vertices in $S$. The cardinality of a minimum $k$-quasiperfect…

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.…

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…
