This paper introduces the concept of compliant vertices and compliant graphs, with a focus on the total domination degree (TDD) of a vertex in compliant graphs. The TDD is systematically calculated for various graph classes, including path…

A dominating set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that every vertex that does not belong to $S$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. The domination number $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of $G$. The…

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…

In a graph $G=(V,E)$ with no isolated vertex, a dominating set $D \subseteq V$, is called a semitotal dominating set if for every vertex $u \in D$ there is another vertex $v \in D$, such that distance between $u$ and $v$ is at most two in…

A set $D$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V_G-D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. The domination number (upper domination number, respectively) of a graph $G$, denoted by $\gamma(G)$…

In this paper, we present new upper bounds for the global domination and Roman domination numbers and also prove that these results are asymptotically best possible. Moreover, we give upper bounds for the restrained domination and total…

In the m-\emph{Eternal Domination} game, a team of guard tokens initially occupies a dominating set on a graph $G$. An attacker then picks a vertex without a guard on it and attacks it. The guards defend against the attack: one of them has…

In this paper, we study the behaviour of the generalized power domination number of a graph by small changes on the graph, namely edge and vertex deletion and edge contraction. We prove optimal bounds for $\gamma\_{p,k}(G-e)$,…

Let $D=(V,A)$ be a digraph. A subset $S$ of $V$ is called a twin dominating set of $D$ if for every vertex $v\in V-S$, there exists vertices $u_1,u_2 \in S$ such that $(v,u_1)$ and $(u_2,v)$ are arcs in $D$. The minimum cardinality of a…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is $\gamma$-excellent if $V$ is a union of all $\gamma$-sets of $G$, where $\gamma$ stands for the domination number. Let $\mathcal{I}$ be a set of all mutually nonisomorphic graphs and $\emptyset \not= \mathcal{H}…

For a graph $G=(V,E)$, we call a subset $ S\subseteq V \cup E$ a total mixed dominating set of $G$ if each element of $V \cup E$ is either adjacent or incident to an element of $S$, and the total mixed domination number $\gamma_{tm}(G)$ of…

For some $\alpha$ with $0 < \alpha \le 1$, a subset $X$ of vertices in a graph $G$ of order~$n$ is an $\alpha$-partial dominating set of $G$ if the set $X$ dominates at least $\alpha \times n$ vertices in $G$. The $\alpha$-partial…

A dominating set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that every vertex of $G$ is either in $S$ or is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. Nordhaus-Gaddum inequailties relate a graph $G$ to its complement $\bar{G}$. In this spirit Wagner…

A vertex set $D$ in a finite undirected graph $G$ is an {\em efficient dominating set} (\emph{e.d.s.}\ for short) of $G$ if every vertex of $G$ is dominated by exactly one vertex of $D$. The \emph{Efficient Domination} (ED) problem, which…

A subset of vertices in a graph is called a total dominating set if every vertex of the graph is adjacent to at least one vertex of this set. A total dominating set is called minimal if it does not properly contain another total dominating…

For a graph $G$, the central graph $C(G)$ is the graph constructed from $G$ by subdividing each edge of $G$ with one vertex and also by adding an edge to every pair of non-adjacent vertices in $G$. Also for a graph $G$, let $\gamma(G)$ and…

A subset $D\subseteq V_G$ is a dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V_G-D$ has a~neighbor in $D$, while $D$ is a paired-dominating set of $G$ if $D$ is a~dominating set and the subgraph induced by $D$ contains a perfect matching. A…
