In a graph, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors, and a dominating set is a set of vertices that together dominate the entire graph. Given a graph and two dominating sets of equal size $k$, the {\em Dominating Set Reconfiguration…

We study the existence of polynomial kernels, for parameterized problems without a polynomial kernel on general graphs, when restricted to graphs of bounded twin-width. Our main result is that a polynomial kernel for $k$-Dominating Set on…

In a graph G, a k-attack A is any set of at most k vertices and l-defense D is a set of at most l vertices. We say that defense D counters attack A if each a in A can be matched to a distinct defender d in D with a equal to d or a adjacent…
