A set $D \subseteq V(G)$ is a \emph{total dominating set} of $G$ if for every vertex $v \in V(G)$ there exists a vertex $u \in D$ such that $u$ and $v$ are adjacent. A total dominating set of $G$ of minimum cardinality is called a…
In a graph G, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors. A subset S of V is called a dominating set in G if every vertex in V is dominated by at least one vertex in S. The domination number gamma G is the minimum cardinality of a…
In this paper a relationship is established between the domination game and minimal edge cuts. It is proved that the game domination number of a connected graph can be bounded above in terms of the size of minimal edge cuts. In particular,…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple undirected graph. $G$ is a circulant graph defined on $V=\mathbb{Z}_n$ with difference set $D\subseteq \{1,2,\ldots,\lfloor\frac{n}{2}\rfloor\}$ provided two vertices $i$ and $j$ in $\mathbb{Z}_n$ are adjacent if…
Given a connected graph with domination (or total domination) number \gamma>=2, we ask for the maximum number m_\gamma and m_{\gamma,T} of dominating and total dominating sets of size \gamma. An exact answer is provided for \gamma=2and…
For a graph $G$, the $\gamma$-graph of $G$, $G(\gamma)$, is the graph whose vertices correspond to the minimum dominating sets of $G$, and where two vertices of $G(\gamma)$ are adjacent if and only if their corresponding dominating sets in…
An integer distance digraph is the Cayley graph $\Gamma(\mathbb{Z},S)$ of the additive group $\mathbb{Z}$ of all integers with respect to a finite subset $S\subseteq\mathbb{Z}$. The domination ratio of $\Gamma(\mathbb{Z},S)$, defined as the…
A dominating set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices of $G$ such that every vertex outside $S$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. A connected dominating set in $G$ is a dominating set $S$ such that the subgraph $G[S]$ induced by $S$ is…
Limited dominating broadcasts were proposed as a variant of dominating broadcasts, where the broadcast function is upper bounded. As a natural extension of domination, we consider dominating $2$-broadcasts along with the associated…
The dominating number $\gamma(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum size of a vertex set whose closed neighborhoods cover all vertices of $G$, while the packing number $\rho(G)$ is the maximum size of a vertex set whose closed neighborhoods are…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. A subset $D$ of $V(G)$ is called a super dominating set if for every $v \in V(G)-D$ there exists an external private neighbour of $v$ with respect to $V(G)-D.$ The minimum cardinality of a super dominating set is…
We commence the study of domination in the incidence graphs of combinatorial designs. Let $D$ be a combinatorial design and denote by $\gamma(D)$ the domination number of the incidence (Levy) graph of $D$. We obtain a number of results…
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,…
A broadcast on a nontrivial connected graph G with vertex set V is a function f from V to {0,1,...,diam(G)} such that f(v) is at most the eccentricity of v for all v in V. The weight of f is the sum of the function values taken over V. A…
While a number of bounds are known on the zero forcing number $Z(G)$ of a graph $G$ expressed in terms of the order of a graph and maximum or minimum degree, we present two bounds that are related to the (upper) total domination number…
In this paper, we obtain lower bounds for the domination numbers of connected graphs with girth at least $7$. We show that the domination number of a connected graph with girth at least $7$ is either $1$ or at least…
The concept of power domination emerged from the problem of monitoring electrical systems. Given a graph G and a set S $\subseteq$ V (G), a set M of monitored vertices is built as follows: at first, M contains only the vertices of S and…
In this paper, we continue the study of the total domination game in graphs introduced in [Graphs Combin. 31(5) (2015), 1453--1462], where the players Dominator and Staller alternately select vertices of $G$. Each vertex chosen must…
Let $G$ be a graph with no isolated vertex. A matching in $G$ is a set of edges that are pairwise not adjacent in $G$, while the matching number, $\alpha'(G)$, of $G$ is the maximum size of a matching in $G$. The path covering number,…
In the domination game, introduced by Bre\v{s}ar, Klav\v{z}ar and Rall in 2010, Dominator and Staller alternately select a vertex of a graph $G$. A move is legal if the selected vertex $v$ dominates at least one new vertex -- that is, if we…
