This paper presents the Lagrangian duality theory for mixed-integer semidefinite programming (MISDP). We derive the Lagrangian dual problem and prove that the resulting Lagrangian dual bound dominates the bound obtained from the continuous…

Aiming at selecting a small subset of nodes with maximum influence on networks, the Influence Maximization (IM) problem has been extensively studied. Since it is #P-hard to compute the influence spread given a seed set, the state-of-the-art…

At least two different notions have been published under the name "majority domination in graphs": Majority dominating functions and majority dominating sets. In this work we extend the former concept to digraphs. Given a digraph $D=(V,A),$…

We consider the capacitated domination problem, which models a service-requirement assigning scenario and which is also a generalization of the dominating set problem. In this problem, we are given a graph with three parameters defined on…

The \emph{domination subdivision number} sd$(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (where an edge can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the domination number of $G$. It has been shown…

The Roamn domination problem is one important combinatorial optimization problem that is derived from an old story of defending the Roman Empire and now regains new significance in cyber space security, considering backups in the face of a…

The Maximally Diverse Grouping Problem (MDGP) is the problem of assigning a set of elements to mutually disjoint groups in order to maximise the overall diversity between the elements. Because the MDGP is NP-complete, most studies have…

Typical behavior of the linear programming (LP) problem is studied as a relaxation of the minimum vertex cover, a type of integer programming (IP) problem. A lattice-gas model on the Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graphs of $\alpha$-uniform…

We study the Dominating set problem and Independent Set Problem for dynamic graphs in the vertex-arrival model. We say that a dynamic algorithm for one of these problems is $k$-stable when it makes at most $k$ changes to its output…

Roman-type domination parameters form an important class of graph invariants that model protection and resource allocation problems on networks. Among them, $[k]$-Roman domination provides a unified framework that generalizes Roman, double…

Given a graph G, the domination number gamma(G) of G is the minimum order of a set S of vertices such that each vertex not in S is adjacent to some vertex in S. Equivalently, label the vertices from {0, 1} so that the sum over each closed…

A set $D \subseteq V$ of a graph $G=(V, E)$ is a dominating set of $G$ if each vertex $v\in V\setminus D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D,$ whereas a set $D_2\subseteq V$ is a $2$-dominating (double dominating) set of $G$ if each…

The secure domination problem, a variation of the domination problem with some important real-world applications, is considered. Very few algorithmic attempts to solve this problem have been presented in literature, and the most successful…

We consider the problem of controlling a Markov decision process (MDP) with a large state space, so as to minimize average cost. Since it is intractable to compete with the optimal policy for large scale problems, we pursue the more modest…

For a graph $ G = (V, E) $ with a vertex set $ V $ and an edge set $ E $, a function $ f : V \rightarrow \{0, 1, 2, . . . , diam(G)\} $ is called a \emph{broadcast} on $ G $. For each vertex $ u \in V $, if there exists a vertex $ v $ in $…

Let $G$ be a finite undirected graph with edge set $E$. An edge set $E' \subseteq E$ is an {\em induced matching} in $G$ if the pairwise distance of the edges of $E'$ in $G$ is at least two; $E'$ is {\em dominating} in $G$ if every edge $e…

Given a weighted graph $G(V,E)$ and $t \ge 1$, a subgraph $H$ is a \emph{$t$--spanner} of $G$ if the lengths of shortest paths in $G$ are preserved in $H$ up to a multiplicative factor of $t$. The \emph{subsetwise spanner} problem aims to…

In this paper we introduce a new operation for Linear Programming (LP), called LP complementation, which resembles many properties of LP duality. Given a maximisation (resp.~minimisation) LP $P$, we define its complement $Q$ as a specific…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is called equidominating if there exists a value $t \in \mathbb{N}$ and a weight function $\omega : V \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ such that the total weight of a subset $D\subseteq V$ is equal to $t$ if and only if $D$ is a…

In $\textit{total domination}$, given a graph $G=(V,E)$, we seek a minimum-size set of nodes $S\subseteq V$, such that every node in $V$ has at least one neighbor in $S$. We define a $\textit{fault-tolerant}$ version of total domination,…
