For a simple graph $G=(V,E)$ without any isolated vertex, a cosecure dominating set $D$ of $G$ satisfies the following two properties (i) $S$ is a dominating set of $G$, (ii) for every vertex $v \in S$ there exists a vertex $u \in V…
The k-defensive domination problem is a powerful modeling tool for strategic decision-making in network security and disaster/emergency management, where multiple nodes may be simultaneously under attack. Despite its practical relevance,…
In the recent breakthrough paper by Barbulescu, Gaudry, Joux and Thom{\'e}, a quasi-polynomial time algorithm (QPA) is proposed for the discrete logarithm problem over finite fields of small characteristic. The time complexity analysis of…
A class domination coloring (also called cd-Coloring or dominated coloring) of a graph is a proper coloring in which every color class is contained in the neighbourhood of some vertex. The minimum number of colors required for any…
We investigate a cops and robber game on directed graphs, where the robber moves along the arcs of the graph, while the cops can select any position at each time step. Our main focus is on the cop number: the minimum number of cops required…
In this paper we study the weak Roman domination number and the secure domination number of a graph. In particular, we obtain general bounds on these two parameters and, as a consequence of the study, we derive new inequalities of…
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…
The three domatic number problem asks whether a given undirected graph can be partitioned into at least three dominating sets, i.e., sets whose closed neighborhood equals the vertex set of the graph. Since this problem is NP-complete, no…
For the vertex selection problem $(\sigma,\rho)$-DomSet one is given two fixed sets $\sigma$ and $\rho$ of integers and the task is to decide whether we can select vertices of the input graph such that, for every selected vertex, the number…
An efficient dominating set (or perfect code) in a graph is a set of vertices the closed neighborhoods of which partition the vertex set of the graph. The minimum weight efficient domination problem is the problem of finding an efficient…
In the paper, we write a linear algorithm for calculating the weighted domination number of a vertex-weighted cactus. The algorithm is based on the well known depth first search (DFS) structure. Our algorithm needs less than $12n+5b$…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph without isolated vertices. A set $S\subseteq V$ is a paired-domination set if every vertex in $V-S$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$ and the subgraph induced by $S$ contains a perfect matching. The paired-domination…
We survey the field of algorithms and complexity for graph problems parameterized above or below guaranteed values, a research area which was pioneered by Venkatesh Raman. Those problems seek, for a given graph $G$, a solution whose value…
This paper proposes a new distributed algorithm for solving linear systems associated with a sparse graph under a generalised diagonal dominance assumption. The algorithm runs iteratively on each node of the graph, with low complexities on…
In this paper we study three domination-like problems, namely identifying codes, locating-dominating codes, and locating-total-dominating codes. We are interested in finding the minimum cardinality of such codes in circular and infinite…
The dominating set problem and its generalization, the distance-$r$ dominating set problem, are among the well-studied problems in the sequential settings. In distributed models of computation, unlike for domination, not much is known about…
The domination problem and several of its variants (total domination, 2-domination and secure domination) are considered. These problems have various real-world applications, but are NP-hard to solve to provable optimality, making fast…
We consider two graph optimization problems called vector domination and total vector domination. In vector domination one seeks a small subset S of vertices of a graph such that any vertex outside S has a prescribed number of neighbors in…
In this paper, we introduce new concepts of domination and packing functions in graphs, which generalize, respectively, the labelled dominating and packing functions defined by Lee and Chang in 2008, and Hinrichsen et al. in 2019. These…
The leafage of a chordal graph G is the minimum integer l such that G can be realized as an intersection graph of subtrees of a tree with l leaves. We consider structural parameterization by the leafage of classical domination and cut…
