Weighted independent domination is an NP-hard graph problem, which remains computationally intractable in many restricted graph classes. In particular, the problem is NP-hard in the classes of sat-graphs and chordal graphs. We strengthen…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. For an edge $e=xy\in E$, the closed neighbourhood of $e$, denoted by $N_G[e]$ or $N_G[xy]$, is the set $N_G[x]\cup N_G[y]$. A vertex set $L\subseteq V$ is liar's vertex-edge dominating set of a graph $G=(V,E)$ if…

A set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a dominating set if every vertex not in $S$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. If, in addition, $S$ is an independent set, then $S$ is an independent dominating set. The independent domination number…

Given a simple undirected graph $G = (V, E)$, the open neighbourhood of a vertex $v \in V$ is defined as $N_G(v) = \{u \in V \mid uv \in E\}$, and the closed neighbourhood as $N_G[v] = N_G(v) \cup \{v\}$. A subset $D \subseteq V$ is called…

The neighbourhood of a vertex $v$ of a graph $G$ is the set $N(v)$ of all vertices adjacent to $v$ in $G$. For $D\subseteq V(G)$ we define $\overline{D}=V(G)\setminus D$. A set $D\subseteq V(G)$ is called a super dominating set if for every…

Given a graph $G$, a subset $S$ of vertices of $G$ is an efficient dominating set ($EDS$) if $|N[v] \cap S|=1,$ for all $v\in V(G)$. A graph $G$ is efficiently dominatable if it possesses an $EDS$. The efficient domination number of G is…

A set $D$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V_G-D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. The domination number (upper domination number, respectively) of a graph $G$, denoted by $\gamma(G)$…

Let $G$ be a finite undirected graph with edge set $E$. An edge set $E' \subseteq E$ is an {\em induced matching} in $G$ if the pairwise distance of the edges of $E'$ in $G$ is at least two; $E'$ is {\em dominating} in $G$ if every edge $e…

A dominating set $S$ of a graph $G$ is called locating-dominating, LD-set for short, if every vertex $v$ not in $S$ is uniquely determined by the set of neighbors of $v$ belonging to $S$. Locating-dominating sets of minimum cardinality are…

For a graph class $\mathcal{G}$, we define the $\mathcal{G}$-modular cardinality of a graph $G$ as the minimum size of a vertex partition of $G$ into modules that each induces a graph in $\mathcal{G}$. This generalizes other module-based…

For a graph $G$, the central graph $C(G)$ is the graph constructed from $G$ by subdividing each edge of $G$ with one vertex and also by adding an edge to every pair of non-adjacent vertices in $G$. Also for a graph $G$, let $\gamma(G)$ and…
