We consider a minimizing variant of the well-known \emph{No-Three-In-Line Problem}, the \emph{Geometric Dominating Set Problem}: What is the smallest number of points in an $n\times n$~grid such that every grid point lies on a common line…

A dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set $D\subseteq V(G)$ such that \-every vertex of $G$ is either in $D$ or is adjacent to a vertex in $D$. The domination number of $G$, $\gamma(G)$, is the minimum order of a dominating set. A subset $R$…

For an undirected graph $G$, a dominating broadcast on $G$ is a function $f : V(G) \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ such that for any vertex $u \in V(G)$, there exists a vertex $v \in V(G)$ with $f(v) \geqslant 1$ and $d(u,v) \leqslant f(v)$. The…

In 1996, Tarjan and Matheson proved that if $G$ is a plane triangulated disc with $n$ vertices, $\gamma (G)\le n/3$, where $\gamma (G)$ denotes the domination number of $G$. Furthermore, they conjectured that the constant $1/3$ could be…

An asymmetric binary covering code of length n and radius R is a subset C of the n-cube Q_n such that every vector x in Q_n can be obtained from some vector c in C by changing at most R 1's of c to 0's, where R is as small as possible.…

A subset $D$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a dominating set if for each $u\in V(G)\setminus D$, $u$ is adjacent to some vertex $v\in D$. The domination number, $\gamma(G)$ of $G$, is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of $G$. For…

In this paper we present a lower bound for the domination number of the Cartesian product of a path and a cycle, that is tight if the length of the cycle is a multiple of five. This bound improves the natural lower bound obtained by using…

A dominating set in a graph $G$ is a subset of vertices $D$ such that every vertex in $V\setminus D$ is a neighbor of some vertex of $D$. The domination number of $G$ is the minimum size of a dominating set of $G$ and it is denoted by…

Let G_n = C_n square P_2 denote the prism (circular ladder) graph on 2n vertices. By encoding column configurations as cyclic words, domination is reduced to local Boolean constraints on adjacent factors. This framework yields explicit…

In a graph $G$, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors. A subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ is said to be a double dominating set of $G$ if $S$ dominates every vertex of $G$ at least twice. The double domination number $\gamma_{\times 2}(G)$ is…

A set $D \subseteq V$ for the graph $G=(V, E)$ is called a dominating set if any vertex $v\in V\setminus D$ has at least one neighbor in $D$. Fomin et al.[9] gave an algorithm for enumerating all minimal dominating sets with $n$ vertices in…

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$. A classical upper bound for the domination number of a graph $G$ having no isolated vertices is $\lfloor\frac{n}{2}\rfloor$. However, for several families of graphs, we have $\gamma(G) \le…

We prove a new lower bound for the almost 20 year old problem of determining the smallest possible size of an essential cover of the $n$-dimensional hypercube $\{\pm 1\}^n$, i.e. the smallest possible size of a collection of hyperplanes…

In any graph $G$, the domination number $\gamma(G)$ is at most the independence number $\alpha(G)$. The Inverse Domination Conjecture says that, in any isolate-free $G$, there exists pair of vertex-disjoint dominating sets $D, D'$ with…

For a graph $G,$ the set $D \subseteq V(G)$ is a porous exponential dominating set if $1 \le \sum_{d \in D} \left( 2 \right)^{1-dist(d,v)}$ for every $v \in V(G),$ where $dist(d,v)$ denotes the length of the shortest $dv$ path. The porous…

We give an improved upper bound for the Gr\"unbaum--Hadwiger--Ramos problem: Let $d,n,k \in \mathbb{N}$ such that $d \geq 2^n(1+2^{k-1})$. Given $2^{n+1}$ masses on $\mathbb{R}^d$, there exist $k$ hyperplanes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that…

Given a graph $G$, a dominating set of $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that each vertex not in $S$ has a neighbor in $S$. The domination number of $G$, denoted $\gamma(G)$, is the minimum size of a dominating set of $G$. The independent…

As a natural variant of domination in graphs, Dankelmann et al. [Domination with exponential decay, Discrete Math. 309 (2009) 5877-5883] introduce exponential domination, where vertices are considered to have some dominating power that…

In this paper, we proceed on determining the minimum $q_{min}$ among the connected nonbipartite graphs on $n\geq 5$ vertices and with domination number $\frac{n+1}{3}<\gamma\leq \frac{n-1}{2}$. Further results obtained are as follows:…

The Queen's Domination problem, studied for over 160 years, poses the following question: What is the least number of queens that can be arranged on a $m \times n$ chessboard so that they either attack or occupy every cell? We propose a…
