For a graph $ G = (V, E) $ with a vertex set $ V $ and an edge set $ E $, a function $ f : V \rightarrow \{0, 1, 2, . . . , diam(G)\} $ is called a \emph{broadcast} on $ G $. For each vertex $ u \in V $, if there exists a vertex $ v $ in $…

For an undirected graph $G$, a dominating broadcast on $G$ is a function $f : V(G) \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ such that for any vertex $u \in V(G)$, there exists a vertex $v \in V(G)$ with $f(v) \geqslant 1$ and $d(u,v) \leqslant f(v)$. The…

For a graph $G$, a function $f:V(G) \to \{0,1,2\}$ is called a $2$-limited dominating broadcast on $G$ if for every vertex $u$, there exists a vertex $v$ such that $f(v)>0$ and the distance between $u$ and $v$ in $G$ is at most $f(v)$. The…

Given a graph~$G$, the domination number, denoted by~$\gamma(G)$, is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set in~$G$. Dual to the notion of domination number is the packing number of a graph. A packing of~$G$ is a set of vertices whose…

A broadcast on a nontrivial connected graph G=(V,E) is a function f from V(G) to {0,1,...,diam(G)} such that f(v) does not exceed the eccentricity of v. The cost of f is the sum of the function values. A broadcast f is dominating if each…

For a graph $G$, $ mp(G) $ is the multipacking number, and $\gamma_b(G)$ is the broadcast domination number. It is known that $mp(G)\leq \gamma_b(G)$ and $\gamma_b(G)\leq 2mp(G)+3$ for any graph $G$, and it was shown that…

A dominating broadcast on a graph G with vertex set V is a function f that maps V to {0,1,...,diam(G)} such that f(v) does not exceed e(v) (the eccentricity of v) for all vertices v, and each vertex u is at distance at most f(v) from a…
