The dual concepts of coverings and packings are well studied in graph theory. Coverings of graphs with balls of radius one and packings of vertices with pairwise distances at least two are the well-known concepts of domination and…

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 $…

A vertex subset M of a graph G is a multipacking if for each vertex v, and each positive integer s less than or equal to the diameter of G, v is within distance s of at most s vertices of M. The multipacking number of a graph is the maximum…

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…

We study the complexity of the two dual covering and packing distance-based problems Broadcast Domination and Multipacking in digraphs. A dominating broadcast of a digraph $D$ is a function $f:V(D)\to\mathbb{N}$ such that for each vertex…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Domination in graphs has long been studied and is applied to signal distribution problem. For example, telecommunication companies want to spread the signal from broadcast stations by transmitting varying signal strength to all receiving…

We establish upper and lower bounds for the 2-limited broadcast domination number of various grid graphs, in particular the Cartesian product of two paths, a path and a cycle, and two cycles. The upper bounds are derived by explicit…
