In this paper, we first show that the power domination number of a connected $4$-regular claw-free graph on $n$ vertices is at most $\frac{n+1}{5}$, and the bound is sharp. The statement partly disprove the conjecture presented by Dorbec et…
The $k$-rainbow domination problem is studied for regular graphs. We prove that the $k$-rainbow domination number $\gamma_{rk}(G)$ of a $d$-regular graph for $d\leq k\leq 2d$ is bounded below by $\displaystyle{\left\lceil…
The $k$-power domination problem is a problem in graph theory, which has applications in many areas. However, it is hard to calculate the exact $k$-power domination number since determining k-power domination number of a generic graph is a…
Zero forcing and power domination are iterative processes on graphs where an initial set of vertices are observed, and additional vertices become observed based on some rules. In both cases, the goal is to eventually observe the entire…
Generalizing work on graphs, Chang and Roussel introduced $k$-power domination in hypergraphs and conjectured the upper bound for the $k$-power domination number for $r$-uniform hypergraphs on $n$ vertices was $\frac{n}{r+k}$. This upper…
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 $\gamma\_{p,k}(G-e)$,…
The power domination problem focuses on finding the optimal placement of phase measurement units (PMUs) to monitor an electrical power network. In the context of graphs, the power domination number of a graph $G$, denoted $\gamma_P(G)$, is…
We algorithmize the recent structural characterization for claw-free graphs by Chudnovsky and Seymour. Building on this result, we show that Dominating Set on claw-free graphs is (i) fixed-parameter tractable and (ii) even possesses a…
Given a graph and an integer $k$, it is an NP-complete problem to decide whether there is a dominating set of size at most $k$. In this paper we study this problem for the Kn\"odel Graph on $n$ vertices using elementary number theory…
We show that the dominating set problem parameterized by solution size is fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) in graphs that do not contain the claw (K(1,3)), the complete bipartite graph on four vertices where the two parts have one and three…
The aim of this work is to investigate the nonnegative signed domination number $\gamma^{NN}_s$ with emphasis on regular, ($r+1$)-clique-free graphs and trees. We give lower and upper bounds on $\gamma^{NN}_s$ for regular graphs and prove…
The study of power domination in graphs arises from the problem of placing a minimum number of measurement devices in an electrical network while monitoring the entire network. A power dominating set of a graph is a set of vertices from…
We first introduce the concept of (k,k',k'')-domination numbers in graphs, which is a generalization of many domination parameters. Then we find lower and upper bounds for this parameter, which improve many well-known results in…
We initiate the study of graph classes of power-bounded clique-width, that is, graph classes for which there exist integers $k$ and $\ell$ such that the $k$-th powers of the graphs are of clique-width at most $\ell$. We give sufficient and…
The notion of power domination arises in the context of monitoring an electric power system with as few phase measurement units as possible. The $k-$power domination number of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a $k-$power dominating…
Let $\gamma_g(G)$ be the game domination number of a graph $G$. Rall conjectured that if $G$ is a traceable graph, then $\gamma_g(G) \le \left\lceil \frac{1}{2}n(G)\right\rceil$. Our main result verifies the conjecture over the class of…
Let ${[n] \choose k}$ and ${[n] \choose l}$ $( k > l ) $ where $[n] = \{1,2,3,...,n\}$ denote the family of all $k$-element subsets and $l$-element subsets of $[n]$ respectively. Define a bipartite graph $G_{k,l} = ({[n] \choose k},{[n]…
A graph $G$ is said to be $k$-$\gamma$-vertex critical if the domination numbers $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ is $k$ and $\gamma(G - v) < k$ for any vertex $v$ of $G$. Similarly, A graph $G$ is said to be $k$-$\gamma_{c}$-vertex critical if the…
The ratio of the connected domination number, $\gamma_c$, and the domination number, $\gamma$, is strictly bounded from above by 3. It was shown by Zverovich that for every connected $(P_5,C_5)$-free graph, $\gamma_c = \gamma$. In this…
Given a finite graph $G$, the maximum length of a sequence $(v_1,\ldots,v_k)$ of vertices in $G$ such that each $v_i$ dominates a vertex that is not dominated by any vertex in $\{v_1,\ldots,v_{i-1}\}$ is called the Grundy domination number,…
