Let $G$ be a graph with no isolated vertex. In this paper, we study a parameter that is a relaxation of arguably the most important domination parameter, namely the total domination number, $\gamma_t(G)$. A set $S$ of vertices in $G$ is a…

A dominating set $D$ for a graph $G$ is a subset of $V(G)$ such that any vertex not in $D$ has at least one neighbor in $D$. The domination number $\gamma(G)$ is the size of a minimum dominating set in $G$. Vizing's conjecture from 1968…

For an integer $k\ge 3$, a $k$-path vertex cover of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a set $T\subseteq V$ that shares a vertex with every path subgraph of order $k$ in $G$. The minimum cardinality of a $k$-path vertex cover is denoted by $\psi_k(G)$.…

For a graph $G$, the vertices of the $k$-dominating graph, denoted $\mathcal{D}_k(G)$, correspond to the dominating sets of $G$ with cardinality at most $k$. Two vertices of $\mathcal{D}_k(G)$ are adjacent if and only if the corresponding…

A partition $\Sigma = \{S_1, S_2, \dots, S_k\}$ of the vertex set $V(G)$ is a resolving partition if every pair of distinct vertices in $G$ has a unique representation relative to $\Sigma$. The partition dimension, $pd(G)$, is the minimum…

For $k \geq 1$, in a graph $G=(V,E)$, a set of vertices $D$ is a distance $k$-dominating set of $G$, if any vertex in $V\setminus D$ is at distance at most $k$ from some vertex in $D$. The minimum cardinality of a distance $k$-dominating…

The $k$-token graph of $G$ is the graph, $F_k(G)$, whose vertices are all the $k$-subsets of $V(G)$; with two of them adjacent whenever their symmetric difference is a pair of adjacent vertices in $G$. In this paper, we study the domination…

A total dominating set of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset $D \subseteq V$ such that every vertex in $V$ is adjacent to some vertex in $D$. Finding a total dominating set of minimum size is NP-hard on planar graphs and W[2]-complete on general…

Inspired by graceful labelings and total labelings of graphs, we introduce the idea of total difference labelings. A $k$-total labeling of a graph $G$ is an assignment of $k$ distinct labels to the edges and vertices of a graph so that…
