$k$-defensive domination, a variant of the classical domination problem on graphs, seeks a minimum cardinality vertex set providing a surjective defense against any attack on vertices of cardinality bounded by a parameter $k$. The problem…
Let $G=(V, E)$ be a graph where $V$ and $E$ are the vertex and edge sets, respectively. For two disjoint subsets $A$ and $B$ of $V$, we say $A$ \textit{dominates} $B$ if every vertex of $B$ is adjacent to at least one vertex of $A$ in $G$.…
In this paper, the dynamics of heuristic algorithms for constructing small vertex covers (or independent sets) of finite-connectivity random graphs is analysed. In every algorithmic step, a vertex is chosen with respect to its vertex…
We investigate the problem of simultaneously dominating all spanning trees of a given graph. We prove that on 2-connected graphs, a subset of the vertices dominates all spanning trees of the graph if and only if it is a vertex cover. Using…
Consider a graph $G=(V,E)$ and an initial random coloring where each vertex $v \in V$ is blue with probability $P_b$ and red otherwise, independently from all other vertices. In each round, all vertices simultaneously switch their color to…
For a graph $G = (V, E)$ with vertex set $V$ and edge set $E$, a subset $F$ of $E$ is called an $\emph{edge dominating set}$ (resp. a $\emph{total edge dominating set}$) if every edge in $E\backslash F$ (resp. in $E$) is adjacent to at…
Assume that you are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with an initial coloring, where each node is black or white. Then, in discrete-time rounds all nodes simultaneously update their color following a predefined deterministic rule. This process is…
We consider the problem of controlling a partially-observed dynamic process on a graph by a limited number of interventions. This problem naturally arises in contexts such as scheduling virus tests to curb an epidemic; targeted marketing in…
Dynamic complexity is concerned with updating the output of a problem when the input is slightly changed. We study the dynamic complexity of model checking a fixed monadic second-order formula over evolving subgraphs of a fixed maximal…
For fixed sets $\sigma, \rho$ of non-negative integers, the $(\sigma, \rho)$-domination framework introduced by Telle [Nord. J. Comput. 1994] captures many classical graph problems. For a graph $G$, a $(\sigma,\rho)$-set is a set $S$ of…
In a graph G, a k-attack A is any set of at most k vertices and l-defense D is a set of at most l vertices. We say that defense D counters attack A if each a in A can be matched to a distinct defender d in D with a equal to d or a adjacent…
The \emph{domination subdivision number} sd$(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (where an edge can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the domination number of $G$. It has been shown…
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…
Motivated by recent applications of dominator computations, we consider the problem of dynamically maintaining the dominators of flow graphs through a sequence of insertions and deletions of edges. Our main theoretical contribution is a…
A set $D \subseteq V$ for the graph $G=(V, E)$ is called a dominating set if any vertex $v\in V\setminus D$ has at least one neighbor in $D$. Fomin et al.[9] gave an algorithm for enumerating all minimal dominating sets with $n$ vertices in…
The minimum status of a graph is the minimum of statuses of all vertices of this graph. We give a sharp upper bound for the minimum status of a connected graph with fixed order and matching number (domination number, respectively), and…
The online dominating set problem is an online variant of the minimum dominating set problem, which is one of the most important NP-hard problems on graphs. This problem is defined as follows: Given an undirected graph $G = (V, E)$, in…
An induced forest of a graph G is an acyclic induced subgraph of G. The present paper is devoted to the analysis of a simple randomised algorithm that grows an induced forest in a regular graph. The expected size of the forest it outputs…
Cellular automata have been mainly studied on very regular graphs carrying the vertices (like lines or grids) and under synchronous dynamics (all vertices update simultaneously). In this paper, we study how the asynchronism and the graph…
This study considers the (soft) capacitated vertex cover problem in a dynamic setting. This problem generalizes the dynamic model of the vertex cover problem, which has been intensively studied in recent years. Given a dynamically changing…
