In this paper, we study "robust" dominating sets of random graphs that retain the domination property even if a small \emph{deterministic} set of edges are removed. We motivate our study by illustrating with examples from wireless networks…
Given a graph G=(V, E), a vertex is said to ve-dominate an edge if it is either incident with the edge or adjacent to one of its endpoints. A set of vertices is a ve-dominating set if it ve-dominates every edge of the graph. We introduce…
The Identifying Code (IC) problem seeks a vertex subset whose intersection with every vertex's closed neighborhood is unique, enabling fault detection in multiprocessor systems and practical uses in identity verification, environmental…
We consider some problems concerning the maximum number of (strong) dominating sets in a regular graph, and their weighted analogues. Our primary tool is Shearer's entropy lemma. These techniques extend to a reasonably broad class of graph…
In this paper we first analyze the behaviour of the identifying code number under union and join operations in graphs. This study forced us to analyze three new parameters related to identifying codes, dominating sets and total dominating…

In the Localization game played on graphs, a set of cops uses distance probes to identify the location of an invisible robber. We present an extension of the game and its main parameter, the localization number, to directed graphs. We…

A graph is called dominating if its vertices can be labelled with integers in such a way that for every function f: omega-> omega the graph contains a ray whose sequence of labels eventually exceeds f. We obtain a characterization of these…
We study the family of intersection graphs of low density objects in low dimensional Euclidean space. This family is quite general, and includes planar graphs. We prove that such graphs have small separators. Next, we present efficient…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A dominating set of $G$ is a subset $S\subseteq V$ such that every vertex not in $S$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $S$. The cardinality of a smallest dominating set of $G$, denoted by $\gamma(G)$, is…
The k-domination number of a graph is the minimum size of a set X such that every vertex of G is in distance at most k from X. We give a linear time constant-factor approximation algorithm for k-domination number in classes of graphs with…
A dominating set of a graph is a set of vertices such that every vertex not in the set has at least one neighbor in the set. The problem of counting dominating sets is #P-complete for chordal graphs but solvable in polynomial time for its…
In many statistical applications, the dimension is too large to handle for standard high-dimensional machine learning procedures. This is particularly true for graphical models, where the interpretation of a large graph is difficult and…
Object encoding and identification are crucial for many robotic tasks such as autonomous exploration and semantic relocalization. Existing works heavily rely on the tracking of detected objects but have difficulty recalling revisited…
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…
Dominating Set is a well-known combinatorial optimization problem which finds application in computational biology or mobile communication. Because of its $\mathrm{NP}$-hardness, one often turns to heuristics for good solutions. Many such…
We study the localization game on dense random graphs. In this game, a {\em cop} $x$ tries to locate a {\em robber} $y$ by asking for the graph distance of $y$ from every vertex in a sequence of sets $W_1,W_2,\ldots,W_\ell$. We prove high…
Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V$, and let $k$ be a positive integer. A set $D \subseteq V$ is a \emph{distance-$k$ dominating set} of $G$ if, for each vertex $u \in V-D$, there exists a vertex $w\in D$ such that $d(u,w) \le k$, where…
