For a graph $G$ let $\gamma (G)$ be its domination number. We define a graph G to be (i) a hypo-efficient domination graph (or a hypo-$\mathcal{ED}$ graph) if $G$ has no efficient dominating set (EDS) but every graph formed by removing a…

Given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, a vertex $v\in V$ is edge-vertex (ev) dominated by an edge $e\in E$ if $v$ is either incident to $e$ or incident to an adjacent edge of $e$. A set $S^{ev}\subseteq E$ is an edge-vertex dominating set…

A set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a dominating set if every vertex of $G$ is in $S$ or is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. If, in addition, $S$ is an independent set, then $S$ is an independent dominating set. The domination number…
