Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connected graph. A set of vertices $S\subseteq V$ is said to be a dominating set if for any vertex in $V\setminus S$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $S$. The domination number $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ is the…

A disjunctive dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set $D \subseteq V(G)$ such that every vertex in $V(G)\setminus D$ has a neighbor in $D$ or has at least two vertices in $D$ at distance $2$ from it. The disjunctive domination number of $G$,…

In this paper, we conclude the calculation of the domination number of all $n\times m$ grid graphs. Indeed, we prove Chang's conjecture saying that for every $16\le n\le m$, $\gamma(G_{n,m})=\lfloor\frac{(n+2)(m+2)}{5}\rfloor -4$.

Let $\gamma(G)$ denote the domination number of a graph $G$. A {\it Roman domination function} of a graph $G$ is a function $f: V\to\{0,1,2\}$ such that every vertex with 0 has a neighbor with 2. The {\it Roman domination number}…

The total domination number $\gamma_{t}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a smallest set $D\subseteq V(G)$ such that each vertex of $G$ has a neighbor in $D$. The annihilation number $a(G)$ of $G$ is the largest integer $k$ such that…

For some $\alpha$ with $0 < \alpha \le 1$, a subset $X$ of vertices in a graph $G$ of order~$n$ is an $\alpha$-partial dominating set of $G$ if the set $X$ dominates at least $\alpha \times n$ vertices in $G$. The $\alpha$-partial…

It is known that for any graph $G,$ $\gamma (G\square P_2)\geq \gamma (G)$ where $\gamma$ stands for the domination number, $\square$ for the cartesian product and $P_2$ is the path graph on two vertices. In an attempt to prove Vizing's…

Two of the most prominent unresolved conjectures in graph theory, the Albertson-Berman conjecture and the Matheson-Tarjan conjecture, have been extensively studied by many researchers. (AB) Every planar graph of order $n$ has an induced…

In this paper, we investigate the relation between the (fractional) domination number of a digraph $G$ and the independence number of its underlying graph, denoted by $\alpha(G)$. More precisely, we prove that every digraph $G$ has…

The power domination problem focuses on finding the optimal placement of phase measurement units (PMUs) to monitor an electrical power network. In the context of graphs, the power domination number of a graph $G$, denoted $\gamma_P(G)$, is…

We briefly review known results on upper bounds for the minimal domination number $\gamma_n$ of a hypercube of dimension $n$, then present a new method for constructing dominating sets. Write $n =2^{\hat{n}}-1 +{\check{n}}$ with $0\leq…

In a graph $G$, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors. A subset $S$ of vertices of $G$ is a double dominating set of $G$ if every vertex is dominated by at least two vertices in $S$. The double domination number $\gamma_{\times 2}(G)$…

A set $D$ of vertices in $G$ is a disjunctive dominating set in $G$ if every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to a vertex of $D$ or has at least two vertices in $D$ at distance $2$ from it in $G$. The disjunctive domination number,…

In this paper, we continue the study of the total domination game in graphs introduced in [Graphs Combin. 31(5) (2015), 1453--1462], where the players Dominator and Staller alternately select vertices of $G$. Each vertex chosen must…

Let $\gamma_g(G)$ be the game domination number of a graph $G$. Rall conjectured that if $G$ is a traceable graph, then $\gamma_g(G) \le \left\lceil \frac{1}{2}n(G)\right\rceil$. Our main result verifies the conjecture over the class of…

We investigate the minimum number of cycles of specified lengths in planar $n$-vertex triangulations $G$. It is proven that this number is $\Omega(n)$ for any cycle length at most $3 + \max \{ {\rm rad}(G^*), \lceil…

We prove that every $n$ vertex linear triple system with $m$ edges has at least $m^6/n^7$ copies of a pentagon, provided $m>100 \, n^{3/2}$. This provides the first nontrivial bound for a question posed by Jiang and Yepremyan. More…

A vertex set $S$ of a graph $G$ is a \emph{dominating set} if each vertex of $G$ either belongs to $S$ or is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. The \emph{domination number} $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of $S$ as $S$ varies over…

A subset $S$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a secure total dominating set of $G$ if $S$ is a total dominating set of $G$ and, for each vertex $u \not\in S$, there is a vertex $v \in S$ such that $uv$ is an edge and $(S \setminus \{v\}) \cup…

Let $D=(V,A)$ be a digraph. A subset $S$ of $V$ is called a twin dominating set of $D$ if for every vertex $v\in V-S$, there exists vertices $u_1,u_2 \in S$ such that $(v,u_1)$ and $(u_2,v)$ are arcs in $D$. The minimum cardinality of a…
