A dominating set $D$ in a graph is a subset of its vertex set such that each vertex is either in $D$ or has a neighbour in $D$. In this paper, we are interested in the enumeration of (inclusion-wise) minimal dominating sets in graphs,…
A minimum dominating set in a graph is a minimum set of vertices such that every vertex of the graph either belongs to it, or is adjacent to one vertex of this set. This mathematical object is of high relevance in a number of applications…
A $k$-truss is an edge-induced subgraph $H$ such that each of its edges belongs to at least $k-2$ triangles of $H$. This notion has been introduced around ten years ago in social network analysis and security, as a form of cohesive subgraph…
A dominating set $S$ of a graph $G(V,E)$ is called a \textit{secure dominating set} if each vertex $u \in V(G) \setminus S$ is adjacent to a vertex $v \in S$ such that $(S \setminus \{v\}) \cup \{u\}$ is a dominating set of $G$. The…

For a well-studied family of domination-type problems, in bounded-treewidth graphs, we investigate whether it is possible to find faster algorithms. For sets $\sigma,\rho$ of non-negative integers, a $(\sigma,\rho)$-set of a graph $G$ is a…

The $k$-power domination problem is a problem in graph theory, which has applications in many areas. However, it is hard to calculate the exact $k$-power domination number since determining k-power domination number of a generic graph is a…
For any integer $k\geq 1$ and any graph $G=(V,E)$ with minimum degree at least $k-1$, we define a function $f:V\rightarrow \{0,1,2\}$ as a Roman $k$-tuple dominating function on $G$ if for any vertex $v$ with $f(v)=0$ there exist at least…
An edge of a graph dominates itself along with any edge that shares an endpoint with it. An efficient edge dominating set (also called a dominating induced matching, DIM) is a subset of edges such that each edge of the graph is dominated by…
In a graph $G$, an efficient dominating set is a subset $D$ of vertices such that $D$ is an independent set and each vertex outside $D$ has exactly one neighbor in $D$. The Minimum Weight Efficient Dominating Set (Min-WED) problem asks for…
In a bipartite graph, a subgraph is an $s$-biplex if each vertex of the subgraph is adjacent to all but at most $s$ vertices on the opposite set. The enumeration of $s$-biplexes from a given graph is a fundamental problem in bipartite graph…
The enumeration of minimal connected dominating sets is known to be notoriously hard for general graphs. Currently, it is only known that the sets can be enumerated slightly faster than $\mathcal{O}^{*}(2^n)$ and the algorithm is highly…
