The minimum dominating set problem asks for a dominating set with minimum size. First, we determine some vertices contained in the minimum dominating set of a graph. By applying a particular scheme, we ensure that the resulting graph is…
Given a graph $G = (V, E)$, a set $S \subseteq V \cup E$ of vertices and edges is called a mixed dominating set if every vertex and edge that is not included in $S$ happens to be adjacent or incident to a member of $S$. The mixed domination…
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…
A set $D$ of vertices in a graph $G = (V, E)$ is a locating-dominating set (LD-set) if it is dominating and every two vertices $u$, $v$ of $V\setminus D$ satisfy $N(u) \cap D \neq N(v) \cap D$. Two disjoint sets $A,B\subset V(G)$ form a…
A dominating set of a graph G(V, E) is a set of vertices D\subseteq V such that every vertex in V\D has a neighbor in D. An eternal dominating set extends this concept by placing mobile guards on the vertices of D. In response to an…
A set $D$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a dominating set if every vertex of $G$, which is not in $D$, has a neighbor in $D$. A set of vertices $D$ in $G$ is convex (respectively, isometric), if all vertices in all shortest paths…
A sequence of vertices in a graph is called a \emph{(total) legal dominating sequence} if every vertex in the sequence (total) dominates at least one vertex not dominated by those ones that precede it, and at the end all vertices of the…
Motivated by dynamic graph visualization, we study the problem of representing a graph $G$ in the form of a \emph{storyplan}, that is, a sequence of frames with the following properties. Each frame is a planar drawing of the subgraph of $G$…
The dominating set problem (DSP) is one of the most famous problems in combinatorial optimization. It is defined as follows. For a given simple graph $G=(V,E)$, a dominating set of $G$ is a subset $S\subseteq V$ such that every vertex in $…
The following optimal stopping problem is considered. The vertices of a graph $G$ are revealed one by one, in a random order, to a selector. He aims to stop this process at a time $t$ that maximizes the expected number of connected…
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…
Vertex similarity is a major problem in network science with a wide range of applications. In this work we provide novel perspectives on finding (dis)similar vertices within a network and across two networks with the same number of vertices…
Our input is a complete graph $G = (V,E)$ on $n$ vertices where each vertex has a strict ranking of all other vertices in $G$. Our goal is to construct a matching in $G$ that is popular. A matching $M$ is popular if $M$ does not lose a…
A set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G(V,E)$ is called a dominating set if every vertex $v\in V$ is either an element of $S$ or is adjacent to an element of $S$. A set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G(V,E)$ is called a total dominating set if…
A geometric graph is a graph whose vertex set is a set of points in the plane and whose edge set contains straight-line segments. A matching in a graph is a subset of edges of the graph with no shared vertices. A matching is called perfect…
In this paper, we study two graph convexity parameters: iteration time and general position number. The iteration time was defined in 1981 in the geodesic convexity, but its computational complexity was so far open. The general position…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. A subset $D\subseteq V$ is a dominating set if every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to a vertex in $D$. A dominating set $D$ is called a total dominating set if every vertex in $D$ is adjacent to a vertex in $D$.…
In this paper, we study the following problem. Consider a setting where a proposal is offered to the vertices of a given network $G$, and the vertices must conduct a vote and decide whether to accept the proposal or reject it. Each vertex…
For a set $S$ of vertices and the vertex $v$ in a connected graph $G$, $\displaystyle\max_{x \in S}d(x,v)$ is called the $S$-eccentricity of $v$ in $G$. The set of vertices with minimum $S$-eccentricity is called the $S$-center of $G$. Any…
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…
