Abstract

A set DD of vertices of a graph GG is a dominating set if each vertex of V(G)DV(G)\setminus D is adjacent to some vertex of DD. The domination number of GG, γ(G)\gamma(G), is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of GG. A graph GG is called domination vertex critical, or just γ\gamma-critical if removal of any vertex decreases the domination number. A graph GG is called domination vertex stable, or just γ\gamma-stable, if removal of any vertex does not decrease the domination number. For an even integer n2n\ge 2 and 1Δlog2n1\le \Delta \le \lfloor \log_2n \rfloor, a Kn\"odel graph WΔ,nW_{\Delta,n} is a Δ\Delta-regular bipartite graph of even order nn, with vertices (i,j)(i,j), for i=1,2i=1,2 and 0jn/210\le j \le n/2-1, where for every jj, 0jn/210\le j \le n/2-1, there is an edge between vertex (1,j)(1,j) and every vertex (2,j+2k1(2,j+2^k-1 (mod (n/2)), for k=0,1,,Δ1k=0,1,\cdots,\Delta-1. in this paper, we study the domination criticality and domination stability of Kn\"odel graphs. We charactrize the 3-regular and 4-regular Kn\"odel graphs by γ\gamma-criticality or γ\gamma-stability.
