Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A dominating set of $G$ is a subset $D\subseteq V$ 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…

A subset of vertices in a graph is called a total dominating set if every vertex of the graph is adjacent to at least one vertex of this set. A total dominating set is called minimal if it does not properly contain another total dominating…

A dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set $D\subseteq V_G$ such that every vertex in $V_G-D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$, and the domination number $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of $G$. In…

A vertex subset $S$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a $[1,2]$-dominating set if each vertex of $V\backslash S$ is adjacent to either one or two vertices in $S$. The minimum cardinality of a $[1,2]$-dominating set of $G$, denoted by…

A semitotal dominating set of a graph $G$ with no isolated vertex is a dominating set $D$ of $G$ such that every vertex in $D$ is within distance two of another vertex in $D$. The minimum size $\gamma_{t2}(G)$ of a semitotal dominating set…

Let $G=(V(G),E(G))$ be a simple graph. A set $D\subseteq V(G)$ is a strong dominating set of $G$, if for every vertex $x\in V(G)\setminus D$ there is a vertex $y\in D$ with $xy\in E(G)$ and $deg(x)\leq deg(y)$. The strong domination number…

Given a graph $G$, the total dominator coloring problem seeks a proper coloring of $G$ with the additional property that every vertex in the graph is adjacent to all vertices of a color class. We seek to minimize the number of color…

The connected domination game was recently introduced by Borowiecki, Fiedorowicz and Sidorowicz as another variation of the domination game. The rules are essentially the same, except that the set of played vertices must be connected at all…

The domatic number of a graph is the maximum number of pairwise disjoint dominating sets admitted by the graph. We introduce a game based around this graph invariant. The domatic number game is played on a graph $G$ by two players, Alice…

A 3-tournament is a complete 3-uniform hypergraph where each edge has a special vertex designated as its tail. A vertex set $X$ dominates $T$ if every vertex not in $X$ is contained in an edge whose tail is in $X$. The domination number of…

For a graph $G = (V,E),$ a subset $S$ of $V$ is a perfect dominating set of $G$ if every vertex not in $S$ is adjacent to exactly one vertex in $S.$ The perfect domination number, $\gamma_p(G),$ is the minimum cardinality of a perfect…

Given a graph $G$ and a list assignment $L$ for $G$, the indicated $L$-colouring game on $G$ is played by two players: Ann and Ben. In each round, Ann chooses an uncoloured vertex $v$, and Ben colours $v$ with a colour from $L(v)$ that is…

Motivated by the burning and cooling processes, the burning game is introduced. The game is played on a graph $G$ by the two players (Burner and Staller) that take turns selecting vertices of $G$ to burn; as in the burning process, burning…

A set $D$ of vertices of a simple graph $G=(V,E)$ is a strong dominating set, if for every vertex $x\in \overline{D}=V\setminus D$ there is a vertex $y\in D$ with $xy\in E(G)$ and $deg(x)\leq deg(y)$. The strong domination number…

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…

A dominating set in a directed graph is a set of vertices $S$ such that all the vertices that do not belong to $S$ have an in-neighbour in $S$. A locating set $S$ is a set of vertices such that all the vertices that do not belong to $S$ are…

A set $D \subseteq V$ for the graph $G=(V, E)$ is called a dominating set if any vertex $v\in V\setminus D$ has at least one neighbor in $D$. Fomin et al.[9] gave an algorithm for enumerating all minimal dominating sets with $n$ vertices in…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A set $D\subseteq V$ is a strong dominating set of $G$, if for every vertex $x\in V\setminus D$ there is a vertex $y\in D$ with $xy\in E(G)$ and $deg(x)\leq deg(y)$. The strong domination number…

Given a graph $G$ and a family of graphs $\cal F$, an $\cal F$-isolating set, as introduced by Caro and Hansberg, is any set $S\subset V(G)$ such that $G - N[S]$ contains no member of $\cal F$ as a subgraph. In this paper, we introduce a…

A dominating set $S$ in a graph $G$ is said to be perfect if every vertex of $G$ not in $S$ is adjacent to just one vertex of $S$. Given a vertex subset $S'$ of a side $P_m$ of an $m\times n$ grid graph $G$, the perfect dominating sets $S$…
