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 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 $k$-dominating set is a set $D$ of nodes of a graph such that, for each node $v$, there exists a node $w \in D$ at distance at most $k$ from $v$. Our aim is the deterministic distributed construction of small $T$-dominating sets in time…

For any graph G = (V, E) and proportion $p\in(0,1]$, a set $S\subseteq V$ is a p-dominating set if $\frac{|N[S]|}{|V|}\geq p$. The $p$-domination number $\gamma_{p}(G)$ equals the minimum cardinality of a $p$-dominating set in G. For a…

In a graph $G$, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors. A subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ is said to be a double dominating set of $G$ if $S$ dominates every vertex of $G$ at least twice. The double domination number $\gamma_{\times 2}(G)$ is…

Consider a finite and simple graph $G=(V,E)$ with maximum degree $\Delta$. A strong Roman dominating function over the graph $G$ is understood as a map $f : V (G)\rightarrow \{0, 1,\ldots , \left\lceil \frac{\Delta}{2}\right\rceil+ 1\}$…

In $\textit{total domination}$, given a graph $G=(V,E)$, we seek a minimum-size set of nodes $S\subseteq V$, such that every node in $V$ has at least one neighbor in $S$. We define a $\textit{fault-tolerant}$ version of total domination,…

An eternal dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set of vertices (or "guards") which dominates $G$ and which can defend any infinite series of vertex attacks, where an attack is defended by moving one guard along an edge from its current…
