Nine variations of the concept of domination in a simple graph are identified as fundamental domination concepts, and a unified approach is introduced for studying them. For each variation, the minimum cardinality of a subset of dominating…

Let $p$ be a positive integer and $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A subset $D\subseteq V$ is a $p$-dominating set if each vertex not in $D$ has at least $p$ neighbors in $D$. The $p$-domination number $\g_p(G)$ is the minimum cardinality among…

A fair dominating set in a graph $G$ (or FD-set) is a dominating set $S$ such that all vertices not in $S$ are dominated by the same number of vertices from $S$; that is, every two vertices not in $S$ have the same number of neighbors in…

A set of vertices $X\subseteq V(G)$ is a $d$-distance dominating set if for every $u\in V(G)\setminus X$ there exists $x\in X$ such that $d(u,x) \le d$, and $X$ is a $p$-packing if $d(u,v) \ge p+1$ for every different $u,v\in X$. The…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connected graph. A set of vertices $S\subseteq V$ is said to be a dominating set if for any vertex in $V\setminus S$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $S$. The domination number $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ is the…

Since Reed conjectured in 1996 that the domination number of a connected cubic graph of order $n$ is at most $\lceil \frac13 n \rceil$, the domination number of cubic graphs has been extensively studied. It is now known that the conjecture…

The $d$-distance $p$-packing domination number $\gamma_d^p(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a smallest set of vertices of $G$ which is both a $d$-distance dominating set and a $p$-packing. If no such set exists, then we set…

A function $f:V(G)\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}^+ \cup \{0\}$ is a resolving broadcast of a graph $G$ if, for any distinct $x,y\in V(G)$, there exists a vertex $z\in V(G)$ with $f(z)>0$ such that $\min\{d(x,z), f(z)+1\} \neq \min\{d(y,z),…

Given a graph G, the domination number gamma(G) of G is the minimum order of a set S of vertices such that each vertex not in S is adjacent to some vertex in S. Equivalently, label the vertices from {0, 1} so that the sum over each closed…

This paper introduces the concept of domination in the context of colored graphs (where each color assigns a weight to the vertices of its class), termed up-color domination, where a vertex dominating another must be heavier than the other.…

Domination of grids has been proved to be a demanding task and with the addition of independence it becomes more challenging. It is known that no grid with $m,n \geq 5$ has an efficient dominating set, also called perfect code, that is, an…
