Let $G=( V(G), E(G) )$ be a connected graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. We say a subset $D$ of $V(G)$ dominates $G$ if every vertex in $V \setminus D$ is adjacent to a vertex in $D$. A generalization of this concept is…

A dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set of vertices that contains at least one endpoint of every edge on the graph. The domination number of $G$ is the order of a minimum dominating set of $G$. The $(t,r)$ broadcast domination is a…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph and $t,r$ be positive integers. The \emph{signal} that a tower vertex $T$ of signal strength $t$ supplies to a vertex $v$ is defined as $sig(T,v)=max(t-dist(T,v),0),$ where $dist(T,v)$ denotes the distance between…

The domination number of a finite graph $G$ with vertex set $V$ is the cardinality of the smallest set $S\subseteq V$ such that for every vertex $v\in V$ either $v\in S$ or $v$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. A set $S$ satisfying these…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph and $t,r$ be positive integers. The signal that a vertex $v$ receives from a tower of signal strength $t$ located at vertex $T$ is defined as $sig(v,T)=max(t-dist(v,T),0)$, where $dist(v,T)$ denotes the distance…

The domination number of a graph $G = (V,E)$ is the minimum cardinality of any subset $S \subset V$ such that every vertex in $V$ is in $S$ or adjacent to an element of $S$. Finding the domination numbers of $m$ by $n$ grids was an open…

In this paper, we study a variant of graph domination known as $(t, r)$ broadcast domination, first defined in Blessing, Insko, Johnson, and Mauretour in 2015. In this variant, each broadcast provides $t-d$ reception to each vertex a…

For a pair of positive integer parameters $(t,r)$, a subset $T$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is said to $(t,r)$ broadcast dominate a graph $G$ if, for any vertex $u$ in $G$, we have $\sum_{v\in T, u\in N_t(v)}(t-d(u,v))\geq r$, where where…

Blessing, Insko, Johnson and Mauretour gave a generalization of the domination number of a graph $G=(V,E)$ called the $(t,r)$ broadcast domination number which depends on the positive integer parameters $t$ and $r$. In this setting, a…

A subset $S$ of a vertex set of a graph $G$ is a total $(k,r)$-dominating set if every vertex $u \in V(G)$ is within distance $k$ of at least $r$ vertices in $S$. The minimum cardinality among all total $(k,r)$-dominating sets of $G$ is…

For a graph $G$, a function $f:V(G) \to \{0,1,2\}$ is called a $2$-limited dominating broadcast on $G$ if for every vertex $u$, there exists a vertex $v$ such that $f(v)>0$ and the distance between $u$ and $v$ in $G$ is at most $f(v)$. The…

In this short paper, we establish relations between the domination number $\gamma$, the total domination number $\gamma_t$, and the connected domination number $\gamma_c$ of a graph. In particular, we prove upper and lower bounds for…

For graphs $G$ and $H$, what relations can be determined between $t(G,W)$ and $t(H,W)$ for a general graph $W$? We study this problem through the framework of the density domination exponent, which is defined to be the smallest constant $c$…

The total domination number $\gamma_{t}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a smallest set $D\subseteq V(G)$ such that each vertex of $G$ has a neighbor in $D$. The annihilation number $a(G)$ of $G$ is the largest integer $k$ such that…

Let $G=(V(G),E(G))$ be a simple connected and undirected graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. A set $S \subseteq V(G)$ is a $dominating$ $set$ if for each $v \in V(G)$ either $v \in S$ or $v$ is adjacent to some $w \in S$. That…

In this paper, we conclude the calculation of the domination number of all $n\times m$ grid graphs. Indeed, we prove Chang's conjecture saying that for every $16\le n\le m$, $\gamma(G_{n,m})=\lfloor\frac{(n+2)(m+2)}{5}\rfloor -4$.

Let $\gamma(G)$ and $\gamma_t(G)$ denote the domination number and the total domination number, respectively, of a graph $G$ with no isolated vertices. It is well-known that $\gamma_t(G) \leq 2\gamma(G)$. We provide a characterization of a…

A broadcast on a nontrivial connected graph G=(V,E) is a function f from V(G) to {0,1,...,diam(G)} such that f(v) does not exceed the eccentricity of v. The cost of f is the sum of the function values. A broadcast f is dominating if each…

For positive integers $m$ and $n$, the grid graph $G_{m,n}$ is the Cartesian product of the path graph $P_m$ on $m$ vertices and the path graph $P_n$ on $n$ vertices. An integer $\{2\}$-dominating function of a graph is a mapping from the…

A dominating set in a graph $G$ is a subset of vertices $D$ such that every vertex in $V\setminus D$ is a neighbor of some vertex of $D$. The domination number of $G$ is the minimum size of a dominating set of $G$ and it is denoted by…
