Abstract

A set DD of vertices of a graph GG is a dominating set of GG if every vertex in VGDV_G-D is adjacent to at least one vertex in DD. The domination number (upper domination number, respectively) of a graph GG, denoted by γ(G)\gamma(G) (Γ(G)\Gamma(G), respectively), is the cardinality of a smallest (largest minimal, respectively) dominating set of GG. A subset DVGD\subseteq V_G is called a certified dominating set of GG if DD is a dominating set of GG and every vertex in DD has either zero or at least two neighbors in VGDV_G-D. The cardinality of a~smallest (largest minimal, respectively) certified dominating set of GG is called the certified upper certified, respectively domination number of GG and is denoted by γcer(G)\gamma_{\rm cer}(G) (Γcer(G)\Gamma_{\rm cer}(G), respectively). In this paper relations between domination, upper domination, certified domination and upper certified domination numbers of a graph are studied.
