Let $G$ be a nontrivial connected graph with vertex set $V(G)$. A set of vertices $D\subseteq V(G)$ is called a total outer-independent dominating set of $G$ if every vertex of $G$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$, and…

While a number of bounds are known on the zero forcing number $Z(G)$ of a graph $G$ expressed in terms of the order of a graph and maximum or minimum degree, we present two bounds that are related to the (upper) total domination number…

The open neighbourhood of a vertex $v$ of a graph $G$ is the set $N(v)$ consisting 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…

A dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set $D$ of vertices of $G$ such that every vertex outside $D$ is adjacent to a vertex in $D$. A locating-dominating set of $G$ is a dominating set $D$ of $G$ with the additional property that every two…

The domination multisubdivision number of a nonempty graph $G$ was defined as the minimum positive integer $k$ such that there exists an edge which must be subdivided $k$ times to increase the domination number of $G$. Similarly we define…

In any graph $G$, the domination number $\gamma(G)$ is at most the independence number $\alpha(G)$. The Inverse Domination Conjecture says that, in any isolate-free $G$, there exists pair of vertex-disjoint dominating sets $D, D'$ with…

Let $F_1, F_2, ..., F_k$ be graphs with the same vertex set $V$. A subset $S \subseteq V$ is a simultaneous dominating set if for every $i$, $1 \le i \le k$, every vertex of $F_i$ not in $S$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$ in $F_i$; that is,…
