Nine variations of the concept of domination in a simple graph are identified as fundamental domination concepts, and a unified approach is introduced for studying them. For each variation, the minimum cardinality of a subset of dominating…

Two graphs are homomorphism indistinguishable over a graph class $\mathcal{F}$, denoted by $G \equiv_{\mathcal{F}} H$, if $\operatorname{hom}(F,G) = \operatorname{hom}(F,H)$ for all $F \in \mathcal{F}$ where $\operatorname{hom}(F,G)$…

The study of power domination in graphs arises from the problem of placing a minimum number of measurement devices in an electrical network while monitoring the entire network. A power dominating set of a graph is a set of vertices from…

A total dominator coloring of a graph G is a proper coloring of G in which each vertex of the graph is adjacent to every vertex of some color class. The total dominator chromatic number of a graph is the minimum number of color classes in a…

Let $P(G)=(P_{0}(G),P_{1}(G),\cdots, P_{\rho}(G))$ be the path sequence of a graph $G$, where $P_{i}(G)$ is the number of paths with length $i$ and $\rho$ is the length of a longest path in $G$. In this paper, we first give the path…

A set $D$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is locating if every two distinct vertices outside $D$ have distinct neighbors in $D$; that is, for distinct vertices $u$ and $v$ outside $D$, $N(u) \cap D \neq N(v) \cap D$, where $N(u)$ denotes the…

A dominating set of a graph $G$ is a subset $D \subseteq V_G$ such that every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. The cardinality of a smallest dominating set of $G$, denoted by $\gamma(G)$, is the domination number…

A set $S\subseteq V$ is a dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V - S$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $S$. The domination number $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ equals the minimum cardinality of a dominating set $S$ in $G$; we say that such a…

This paper introduces and studies the stability of the strong domination number of a graph, denoted $\operatorname{st}_{\gamma_{st}}(G)$, defined as the minimum number of vertices whose removal changes the strong domination number…

We prove: (i) if $G$ is a 1-tough graph of order $n$ and minimum degree $\delta$ with $\delta\ge(n-2)/3$ then each longest cycle in $G$ is a dominating cycle unless $G$ belongs to an easily specified class of graphs with $\kappa(G)=2$ and…

Let $G$ be a graph with minimum degree at least 2. A set $D\subseteq V$ is a double total dominating set of $G$ if each vertex is adjacent to at least two vertices in $D$. The double total domination number $\gamma _{\times 2,t}(G)$ of $G$…

Graph energy and Domination in graphs are most studied areas of graph theory. In this paper we made an attempt to connect these two areas of graph theory by introducing c-dominating energy of a graph $G$. First, we show the chemical…

Let G = (V;E) be a simple graph. We consider domination polynomial, matching polynomial and edge cover polynomial of G. Graphs which their polynomials have few roots can give sometimes a very surprising information about the structure of…

The enhanced power graph of a group G is a graph with vertex set G, where two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if there exists an element w in G such that both x and y are powers of w. To obtain the proper enhanced power…

A set of vertices $S$ in a simple isolate-free graph $G$ is a semi-total dominating set of $G$ if it is a dominating set of $G$ and every vertex of $S$ is within distance 2 or less with another vertex of $S$. The semi-total domination…
