A {\em dominating set} of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset of vertices $S\subseteq V$ such that every vertex $v\in V\setminus S$ has at least one neighbor in $S$. Finding a dominating set with the minimum cardinality in a connected graph…

Say that an edge of a graph $G$ dominates itself and every other edge adjacent to it. An edge dominating set of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset of edges $E' \subseteq E$ which dominates all edges of $G$. In particular, if every edge of $G$ is…

A dominating set of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset of vertices $S\subseteq V$ such that every vertex $v\in V\setminus S$ has at least one neighbor in set $S$. The corresponding optimization problem is known to be NP-hard. The best known…

A minimum dominating set for a digraph (directed graph) is a smallest set of vertices such that each vertex either belongs to this set or has at least one parent vertex in this set. We solve this hard combinatorial optimization problem…

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

Given a graph $G = (V, E)$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, the DominatingSet problem asks for a set $D \subseteq V$ of minimal cardinality such that every vertex either is in $D$ or adjacent to a member of $D$. Although there is little…

In the Densest k-Subgraph problem, given a graph G and a parameter k, one needs to find a subgraph of G induced on k vertices that contains the largest number of edges. There is a significant gap between the best known upper and lower…

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…

In the Connected Dominating Set problem we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and seek a minimum size dominating set $S \subseteq V$ such that the subgraph $G[S]$ of $G$ induced by $S$ is connected. In the $2$-Edge-Connected Dominating Set problem…

We consider the scenario of $n$ sensor nodes observing streams of data. The nodes are connected to a central server whose task it is to compute some function over all data items observed by the nodes. In our case, there exists a total order…

Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane and a collection of disks centered at these points, the disk graph $G(P)$ has vertex set $P$, with an edge between two vertices if their corresponding disks intersect. We study the dominating set…

The study of domination in graphs has led to a variety of domination problems studied in the literature. Most of these follow the following general framework: Given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, decide if there is a set $S$ of $k$…

We study distributed algorithms that find a maximal matching in an anonymous, edge-coloured graph. If the edges are properly coloured with $k$ colours, there is a trivial greedy algorithm that finds a maximal matching in $k-1$ synchronous…

A locating-dominating set $D$ of a graph $G$ is a dominating set of $G$ where each vertex not in $D$ has a unique neighborhood in $D$, and the Locating-Dominating Set problem asks if $G$ contains such a dominating set of bounded size. This…

We study the problem of optimal leader selection in consensus networks with noisy relative information. The objective is to identify the set of $k$ leaders that minimizes the formation's deviation from the desired trajectory established by…

A vertex subset $S$ in a graph $G$ is a dominating set if every vertex not contained in $S$ has a neighbor in $S$. A dominating set $S$ is a connected dominating set if the subgraph $G[S]$ induced by $S$ is connected. A connected dominating…

Motivated by the increasing need for fast processing of large-scale graphs, we study a number of fundamental graph problems in a message-passing model for distributed computing, called $k$-machine model, where we have $k$ machines that…

Research involving computing with mobile agents is a fast-growing field, given the advancement of technology in automated systems, e.g., robots, drones, self-driving cars, etc. Therefore, it is pressing to focus on solving classical network…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. A set $S\subseteq V(G)$ is a dominating set, if every vertex in $V(G)\backslash S$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $S$. The $k$-dominating graph of $G$, $D_k (G)$, is defined to be the graph whose vertices…

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V$, and let $k$ be a positive integer. A set $D \subseteq V$ is a \emph{distance-$k$ dominating set} of $G$ if, for each vertex $u \in V-D$, there exists a vertex $w\in D$ such that $d(u,w) \le k$, where…
