A graph is $H$-free if it does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. The diamond graph is the graph obtained from $K_4$ by deleting one edge. We prove that if $G$ is a connected graph with order $n\geq 10$, then there exists a subset $S\subseteq…

Let $\mathbb{G}_{n,\gamma}$ be the set of simple and connected graphs on $n$ vertices and with domination number $\gamma$. The graph with minimum spectral radius among $\mathbb{G}_{n,\gamma}$ is called the minimizer graph. In this paper, we…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, a set $S\subseteq V$ is said to be a monitoring edge-geodetic set if the deletion of any edge in the graph results in a change in the distance between at least one pair of vertices in $S$. The minimum size of such a…

Given an integer $\Delta \ge 3$, let ${\cal G}_{\Delta }$ be the set of connected graphs $G\neq K_{\Delta +1}$ with maximum degree $\Delta $ and, for $i=1,\cdots, \Delta $, let $V_i(G)$ be the set of vertices of $G$ of degree $i$. \\ We…

Given a graph~$G$, the domination number, denoted by~$\gamma(G)$, is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set in~$G$. Dual to the notion of domination number is the packing number of a graph. A packing of~$G$ is a set of vertices whose…

Let $G$ be a $t$-tough graph of order $n$ and minimum degree $\delta$ with $t>1$. It is proved that if $\delta\ge(n-2)/3$ then each longest cycle in $G$ is a dominating cycle.

For $k \geq 1$ and a graph $G$ without isolated vertices, a \emph{total (distance) $k$-dominating set} of $G$ is a set of vertices $S \subseteq V(G)$ such that every vertex in $G$ is within distance $k$ to some vertex of $S$ other than…

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…

We investigate the zero-forcing number for triangle-free graphs. We improve upon the trivial bound, $\delta \le Z(G)$ where $\delta$ is the minimum degree, in the triangle-free case. In particular, we show that $2 \delta - 2 \le Z(G)$ for…

A dominating set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices of $G$ such that every vertex outside $S$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. A connected dominating set in $G$ is a dominating set $S$ such that the subgraph $G[S]$ induced by $S$ is…

By Brook's Theorem, every n-vertex graph of maximum degree at most Delta >= 3 and clique number at most Delta is Delta-colorable, and thus it has an independent set of size at least n/Delta. We give an approximate characterization of graphs…

The dominating number $\gamma(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum size of a vertex set whose closed neighborhood covers all the vertices of the graph. The packing number $\rho(G)$ of $G$ is the maximum size of a vertex set whose closed…

Finding minimum dominating set and maximum independent set for graphs in the classical online setup are notorious due to their disastrous $\Omega(n)$ lower bound of the competitive ratio that even holds for interval graphs, where $n$ is the…

A subset $D\subseteq V(G)$ is called a $k$-distance dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V(G)\setminus D$ is within distance $k$ from some vertex of $D$. The minimum cardinality among all $k$-distance dominating sets of $G$ is called…

Let $G$ be a graph and let $S\subseteq V(G)$. The set $S$ is a double outer-independent dominating set of $G$ if $|N[v]\cap D|\geq2$, for all $v\in V(G)$, and $V(G)\setminus S$ is independent. Similarly, $S$ is a $2$-outer-independent…

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. A subset $I$ of $V(G)$ is an independent vertex subset if no two vertices in $I$ are adjacent in $G$. We study the number, $\sigma_1(G)$, of all subsets of $v(G)$ that contain…

A subset of vertices in a graph is called a total dominating set if every vertex of the graph is adjacent to at least one vertex of this set. A total dominating set is called minimal if it does not properly contain another total dominating…

A set of edges $\Gamma$ of a graph $G$ is an edge dominating set if every edge of $G$ intersects at least one edge of $\Gamma$, and the edge domination number $\gamma_e(G)$ is the smallest size of an edge dominating set. Expanding on work…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A dominating set of $G$ is a subset $S\subseteq V$ such that every vertex not in $S$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $S$. The cardinality of a smallest dominating set of $G$, denoted by $\gamma(G)$, is…

Let $G$ be a simple and finite graph without isolated vertices. In this paper we study forcing sets (zero forcing sets) which induce a subgraph of $G$ without isolated vertices. Such a set is called a total forcing set, introduced and first…
