For a graph $G,$ we consider $D \subset V(G)$ to be a porous exponential dominating set if $1\le \sum_{d \in D}$ $\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\text{dist}(d,v) -1}$ for every $v \in V(G),$ where dist$(d,v)$ denotes the length of the smallest…

The domination number $\gamma(G)$ of a graph $G$, its exponential domination number $\gamma_e(G)$, and its porous exponential domination number $\gamma_e^*(G)$ satisfy $\gamma_e^*(G)\leq \gamma_e(G)\leq \gamma(G)$. We contribute results…

A vertex $v$ in a porous exponential dominating set assigns weight $\left(\tfrac{1}{2}\right)^{dist(v,u)}$ to vertex $u$. A porous exponential dominating set of a graph $G$ is a subset of $V(G)$ such that every vertex in $V(G)$ has been…

Given a graph G with vertex set V, a subset S of V is a dominating set if every vertex in V is either in S or adjacent to some vertex in S. The size of a smallest dominating set is called the domination number of G. We study a variant of…

A dominating set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that every vertex in $V(G) \setminus S$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. A restrained dominating set of $G$ is a dominating set $S$ with the additional restraint that the graph $G…

For a graph $G=(V,E)$, a set $S \subseteq V$ is a $[1,2]$-set if it is a dominating set for $G$ and each vertex $v \in V \setminus S$ is dominated by at most two vertices of $S$, i.e. $1 \leq \vert N(v) \cap S \vert \leq 2$. Moreover a set…
