Fricke, Hedetniemi, Hedetniemi, and Hutson asked whether every tree with domination number $\gamma$ has at most $2^\gamma$ minimum dominating sets. Bien gave a counterexample, which allows to construct forests with domination number…

In a graph $G$, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbours. A subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ is said to be a double dominating set of $G$ if $S$ dominates every vertex of $G$ at least twice. The minimum cardinality among all double dominating…

Let $G$ be a graph each component of which has order at least 3, and let $G$ have order $n$, size $m$, total domination number $\gamma_t$ and maximum degree $\Delta(G)$. Let $\Delta = 3$ if $\Delta(G) = 2$ and $\Delta = \Delta (G)$ if…

We study the dominion zeta(G), defined as the number of minimum dominating sets of a graph G, and analyze how local forcing and boundary effects control the flexibility of optimal domination in trees. For path-based pendant constructions,…

A vertex subset S of a graph G is said to 2-dominate the graph if each vertex not in S has at least two neighbors in it. As usual, the associated parameter is the minimum cardinal of a 2-dominating set, which is called the 2-domination…

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…

A subset $D$ of $V$ is \emph{dominating} in $G$ if every vertex of $V-D$ has at least one neighbour in $D;$ let $\gamma(G)$ be the minimum cardinality among all dominating sets in $G.$ A graph $G$ is $\gamma$-$q$-{\it critical} if the…

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ and size $m$ and let $k\geq 1$ be an integer. A $k$-tuple total dominating set in $G$ is called a $k$-tuple total restrained dominating set of $G$ if each vertex $x\in V(G)-S$ is adjacent to at least $k$…

Let $ G $ be a graph with the vertex set $ V(G) $ and $ S $ be a subset of $ V(G) $. Let $cl(S)$ be the set of vertices built from $S$, by iteratively applying the following propagation rule: if a vertex and all of its neighbors except one…

In the domination game studied here, Dominator and Staller alternately choose a vertex of a graph $G$ and take it into a set $D$. The number of vertices dominated by the set $D$ must increase in each single turn and the game ends when $D$…

The total domination game is a two-person competitive optimization game, where the players, Dominator and Staller, alternately select vertices of an isolate-free graph $G$. Each vertex chosen must strictly increase the number of vertices…

We propose the conjecture that the domination number $\gamma(G)$ of a $\Delta$-regular graph $G$ with $\Delta\geq 1$ is always at most its edge domination number $\gamma_e(G)$, which coincides with the domination number of its line graph.…

A set $D \subseteq V(G)$ is a \emph{total dominating set} of $G$ if for every vertex $v \in V(G)$ there exists a vertex $u \in D$ such that $u$ and $v$ are adjacent. A total dominating set of $G$ of minimum cardinality is called a…

Given a graph $G=(V(G), E(G))$, the size of a minimum dominating set, minimum paired dominating set, and a minimum total dominating set of a graph $G$ are denoted by $\gamma(G)$, $\gamma_{\rm pr}(G)$, and $\gamma_{t}(G)$, respectively. For…
