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 of vertices of a graph $G$ such that each vertex of $G$ is either in the set or is adjacent to a vertex in the set is called a dominating set of $G$. If additionally, the set of vertices induces a connected subgraph of $G$ then the…
The game domination number is a graph invariant that arises from a game, which is related to graph domination in a similar way as the game chromatic number is related to graph coloring. In this paper we show that verifying whether the game…
We introduce a class of plane graphs called weak near-triangulations, and prove that this class is closed under certain graph operations. Then we use the properties of weak near-triangulations to prove that every plane triangulation on…
Let G be a graph. The independence-domination number is the maximum over all independent sets I in G of the minimal number of vertices needed to dominate I. In this paper we investigate the computational complexity of independence…
Let $\gamma_g(G)$ and $\gamma_{tg}(G)$ be the game domination number and the total game domination number of a graph $G$, respectively. Then $G$ is $\gamma_g$-perfect (resp. $\gamma_{tg}$-perfect), if every induced subgraph $F$ of $G$…
Let $G$ be a graph. A dominating set $D\subseteq V(G)$ is a super dominating set if for every vertex $x\in V(G) \setminus D$ there exists $y\in D$ such that $N_G(y)\cap (V(G)\setminus D)) = \{x\}$. The cardinality of a smallest super…
The study of power domination in graphs arises from the problem of placing a minimum number of measurement devices in an electrical network while monitoring the entire network. A power dominating set of a graph is a set of vertices from…
We strengthen a result by Laskar and Lyle (Discrete Appl. Math. (2009), 330-338) by proving that it is NP-complete to decide whether a bipartite planar graph can be partitioned into three independent dominating sets. In contrast, we show…
In this study we consider the problem of triangulated graphs. Precisely we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a graph to be triangulated. This give an alternative characterization of triangulated graphs. Our method is based on…
From a recent perspective, the structure of a 3-connected graph is studied in this paper. It stipulates the minimum dominating set of a 3-connected graph. Also, we count the number of structures, as a consequence, the upper bound is…
We study the eternal dominating number and the m-eternal dominating number on digraphs. We generalize known results on graphs to digraphs. We also consider the problem "oriented (m-)eternal domination", consisting in finding an orientation…
The upper and lower Nordhaus-Gaddum bounds over all graphs for the power domination number follow from known bounds on the domination number and examples. In this note we improve the upper sum bound for the power domination number…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph and $p$ a positive integer. A subset $S\subseteq V$ is called a $p$-dominating set of $G$ if every vertex not in $S$ has at least $p$ neighbors in $S$. The $p$-domination number is the minimum cardinality of a…
Capacitated Domination generalizes the classic Dominating Set problem by specifying for each vertex a required demand and an available capacity for covering demand in its closed neighborhood. The objective is to find a minimum-sized set of…
In this paper we determine the exact values of the signed domination number, signed total domination number, and minus domination number of complete multipartite graphs, which substantially generalizes some previous results obtained for…
The concept of power domination emerged from the problem of monitoring electrical systems. Given a graph G and a set S $\subseteq$ V (G), a set M of monitored vertices is built as follows: at first, M contains only the vertices of S and…
In this paper, we investigate the relation between the (fractional) domination number of a digraph $G$ and the independence number of its underlying graph, denoted by $\alpha(G)$. More precisely, we prove that every digraph $G$ has…
A dominating set of a graph $G$ is a subset $D$ of vertices such that every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. A dominating set $D$ is paired if the subgraph induced by its vertices has a perfect matching, and…
A power dominating set of a graph is a set of vertices that observes every vertex in the graph by combining classical domination with an iterative propagation process arising from electrical circuit theory. In this paper, we study the power…
