Let $G$ be a simple graph. The dominated coloring of $G$ is a proper coloring of $G$ such that each color class is dominated by at least one vertex. The minimum number of colors needed for a dominated coloring of $G$ is called the dominated…

A dominating set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that every vertex in $V(G) \setminus S$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. A restrained dominating set of $G$ is a dominating set $S$ with the additional restraint that the graph $G…

Let $\Gamma=(V,E)$ be a graph. The disjunctive domination number of $\Gamma$ is the minimum cardinality of a set $S\subseteq V$ such that every vertex not in $S$ is adjacent to a vertex of $S$, or has at least two vertices in $S$ at…

We show that if a sequence of dense graphs has the property that for every fixed graph F, the density of copies of F in these graphs tends to a limit, then there is a natural ``limit object'', namely a symmetric measurable 2-variable…

The study of power domination in graphs arises from the problem of placing a minimum number of measurement devices in an electrical network while monitoring the entire network. A power dominating set of a graph is a set of vertices from…

A theorem of Ding, Oporowski, Oxley, and Vertigan implies that any sufficiently large twin-free graph contains a large matching, a co-matching, or a half-graph as a semi-induced subgraph. The sizes of these unavoidable patterns are measured…

The domination number $\gamma(G)$ of a graph $G$, its exponential domination number $\gamma_e(G)$, and its porous exponential domination number $\gamma_e^*(G)$ satisfy $\gamma_e^*(G)\leq \gamma_e(G)\leq \gamma(G)$. We contribute results…

For any class $\mathcal{C}$ of bipartite graphs, we define quasi-$\cal C$ to be the class of all graphs $G$ such that every bipartition of $G$ belongs to $\cal C$. This definition is motivated by a generalisation of the switch Markov chain…

An isolating set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that removing $S$ and its neighborhood leaves no edge. The isolation number $\iota(G)$ of $G$ (also known as the vertex-edge domination number) is the minimum size among all…

Classes with bounded rankwidth are MSO-transductions of trees and classes with bounded linear rankwidth are MSO-transductions of paths. These results show a strong link between the properties of these graph classes considered from the point…

Characterisations of interval graphs, comparability graphs, co-comparability graphs, permutation graphs, and split graphs in terms of linear orderings of the vertex set are presented. As an application, it is proved that interval graphs,…

A subset $D$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a total dominating set if every vertex of $G$ is adjacent to at least one vertex of $D$. The total dominating set $D$ is called a total co-independent dominating set if the subgraph induced by…

Counting dominating sets in a graph $G$ is closely related to the neighborhood complex of $G$. We exploit this relation to prove that the number of dominating sets $d(G)$ of a graph is determined by the number of complete bipartite…

We show that the domination number of the binomial random graph G_{n,p} with edge-probability p is concentrated on two values for p \ge n^{-2/3+\eps}, and not concentrated on two values for general p \le n^{-2/3}. This refutes a conjecture…

The concepts of domination and topological index hold great significance within the realm of graph theory. Therefore, it is pertinent to merge these concepts to derive the domination index of a graph. A novel concept of the domination index…

Let $G$ be a simple graph of order n. The domination polynomial of G is the polynomial D(G,x) =\sum d(G, i)x^i, where d(G,i) is the number of dominating sets of G of size i. Every root of D(G,x) is called the domination root of G. It is…
