A numbering $f$ of a graph $G$ of order $n$ is a labeling that assigns distinct elements of the set $\left\{ 1,2,\ldots ,n\right\} $ to the vertices of $G$. The strength $\textrm{str}_{f}\left( G\right)$ of a numbering $f:V\left( G\right)…

A graph $G$ is said to be $k$-$\gamma$-vertex critical if the domination numbers $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ is $k$ and $\gamma(G - v) < k$ for any vertex $v$ of $G$. Similarly, A graph $G$ is said to be $k$-$\gamma_{c}$-vertex critical if the…

A graph $G$ is called $3$-choice critical if $G$ is not $2$-choosable but any proper subgraph is $2$-choosable. A characterization of $3$-choice critical graphs was given by Voigt in [On list Colourings and Choosability of Graphs,…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph and $t,r$ be positive integers. The \emph{signal} that a tower vertex $T$ of signal strength $t$ supplies to a vertex $v$ is defined as $sig(T,v)=max(t-dist(T,v),0),$ where $dist(T,v)$ denotes the distance between…

As a natural variant of domination in graphs, Dankelmann et al. [Domination with exponential decay, Discrete Math. 309 (2009) 5877-5883] introduce exponential domination, where vertices are considered to have some dominating power that…

An instance of the graph-constrained max-cut (GCMC) problem consists of (i) an undirected graph G and (ii) edge-weights on a complete undirected graph on the same vertex set. The objective is to find a subset of vertices satisfying some…

A set of vertices in a graph is a dominating set if every vertex outside the set has a neighbor in the set. A dominating set is connected if the subgraph induced by its vertices is connected. The connected domatic partition problem asks for…

A highly influential result of Nikiforov states that if an $n$-vertex graph $G$ contains at least $\gamma n^h$ copies of a fixed $h$-vertex graph $H$, then $G$ contains a blowup of $H$ of order $\Omega_{\gamma,H}(\log n)$. While the…

Given a connected graph with domination (or total domination) number \gamma>=2, we ask for the maximum number m_\gamma and m_{\gamma,T} of dominating and total dominating sets of size \gamma. An exact answer is provided for \gamma=2and…

We use probabilistic methods to find lower bounds on the maximum number, in a graph with domination number \gamma, of dominating sets of size \gamma. We find that we can randomly generate a graph that, w.h.p., is dominated by almost all…

Given an undirected bipartite graph $G=(A \cup B, E)$, a many-to-many matching (MM) in $G$ matches each vertex $v$ in $A$ (resp. $B$) to at least one vertex in $B$ (resp. $A$). In this paper, we consider the limited-capacity many-to-many…
