Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, a vertex $u \in V$ {\em ve-dominates} all edges incident to any vertex of $N_G[u]$. A set $S \subseteq V$ is a {\em ve-dominating set} if for all edges $e\in E$, there exists a vertex $u\in S$ such that $u$…

For a graph $G,$ we consider $D \subset V(G)$ to be a porous exponential dominating set if $1\le \sum_{d \in D}$ $\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\text{dist}(d,v) -1}$ for every $v \in V(G),$ where dist$(d,v)$ denotes the length of the smallest…

We investigate the parameterized complexity of generalisations and variations of the dominating set problem on classes of graphs that are nowhere dense. In particular, we show that the distance-d dominating-set problem, also known as the…

A vertex in a graph dominates itself and each of its adjacent vertices. The \emph{$k$-tuple domination problem}, for a fixed positive integer $k$, is to find a minimum sized vertex subset in a given graph such that every vertex is dominated…

A set $D$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a dominating set if every vertex of $G$, which is not in $D$, has a neighbor in $D$. A set of vertices $D$ in $G$ is convex (respectively, isometric), if all vertices in all shortest paths…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple undirected graph. The open neighbourhood of a vertex $v$ in $G$ is defined as $N_G(v)=\{u\in V~|~ uv\in E\}$; whereas the closed neighbourhood is defined as $N_G[v]= N_G(v)\cup \{v\}$. For an integer $k$, a subset…
