In a graph $G = (V,E)$, a vertex subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ is said to be a dominating set of $G$ if every vertex not in $S$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. A dominating set $S$ of $G$ is called a paired-dominating set of $G$ if the induced…

Given a graph $G = (V,E)$, a vertex $u \in V$ ve-dominates all edges incident to any vertex of $N_G[u]$. A set $S \subseteq V$ is a ve-dominating set if for all edges $e\in E$, there exists a vertex $u \in S$ such that $u$ ve-dominates $e$.…
