A broadcast on a connected graph G with vertex set V(G) is a function $f:V(G)\rightarrow \{0, 1, ..., \text{diam}(G)\}$ such that $f(v)\leq e(v)$ (the eccentricity of $v$) for all $v\in V$. A vertex $v$ is said to be broadcasting if…

A set $D$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V_G-D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. The domination number (upper domination number, respectively) of a graph $G$, denoted by $\gamma(G)$…

Let $\gamma(G)$ be the domination number of a graph $G$. A graph $G$ is \emph{domination-vertex-critical}, or \emph{$\gamma$-vertex-critical}, if $\gamma(G-v)< \gamma(G)$ for every vertex $v \in V(G)$. In this paper, we show that: Let $G$…
