Let $\Gamma=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. For a nonempty set $X\subseteq V$, and a vertex $v\in V$, $\delta_{X}(v)$ denotes the number of neighbors $v$ has in $X$. A nonempty set $S\subseteq V$ is a \emph{defensive $k$-alliance} in…

A defensive $k$-alliance in a graph is a set $S$ of vertices with the property that every vertex in $S$ has at least $k$ more neighbors in $S$ than it has outside of $S$. A defensive $k$-alliance $S$ is called global if it forms a…

A set $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a defensive $k$-alliance in $G$ if every vertex of $S$ has at least $k$ more neighbors inside of $S$ than outside. This is primarily an expository article surveying the principal known results on…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. For a nonempty set $X\subset V,$ and a vertex $v\in V,$ $\delta_{X}(v)$ denotes the number of neighbors $v$ has in $X.$ A nonempty set $S\subset V$ is an \emph{offensive $r$-alliance} in $G$ if…

A \emph{defensive} (\emph{offensive}) $k$-\emph{alliance} in $\Gamma=(V,E)$ is a set $S\subseteq V$ such that every $v$ in $S$ (in the boundary of $S$) has at least $k$ more neighbors in $S$ than it has in $V\setminus S$. A set $X\subseteq…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. For a non-empty subset of vertices $S\subseteq V$, and vertex $v\in V$, let $\delta_S(v)=|\{u\in S:uv\in E\}|$ denote the cardinality of the set of neighbors of $v$ in $S$, and let $\bar{S}=V-S$. Consider the…

If $G=(V_G, E_G)$ is a graph, then $S\subseteq V_G$ is a global defensive $k$-alliance in $G$ if (i) each vertex not in $S$ has a neighbor in $S$ and (ii) each vertex of $S$ has at least $k$ more neighbors inside $S$ than outside of it. The…

An offensive alliance in a graph $\Gamma=(V,E)$ is a set of vertices $S\subset V$ where for every vertex $v$ in its boundary it holds that the majority of vertices in $v$'s closed neighborhood are in $S$. In the case of strong offensive…

The alliance polynomial of a graph $\Gamma$ with order $n$ and maximum degree $\delta_1$ is the polynomial $A(\Gamma; x) = \sum_{k=-\delta_1}^{\delta_1} A_{k}(\Gamma) \, x^{n+k}$, where $A_{k}(\Gamma)$ is the number of exact defensive…

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…

An offensive alliance in a graph $\Gamma=(V,E)$ is a set of vertices $S\subset V$ where for every vertex $v$ in its boundary it holds that the majority of vertices in $v$'s closed neighborhood are in $S$. In the case of strong offensive…

For a graph $G=(V,E)$, a set $S\subseteq V$ is a dominating set if every vertex in $V-S$ has at least a neighbor in $S$. A dominating set $S$ is a global offensive alliance if for each vertex $v$ in $V-S$ at least half the vertices from the…

In this paper, we study the task of enumerating (and counting) locally and globally minimal defensive alliances in graphs. We consider general graphs as well as special graph classes. From an input-sensitive perspective, our presented…

Closed monopolies in graphs have a quite long range of applications in several problems related to overcoming failures, since they frequently have some common approaches around the notion of majorities, for instance to consensus problems,…

In this paper, we initiate the study of global offensive $k$-alliances in digraphs. Given a digraph $D=(V(D),A(D))$, a global offensive $k$-alliance in a digraph $D$ is a subset $S\subseteq V(D)$ such that every vertex outside of $S$ has at…

For an integer $k \ge 1$, a (distance) $k$-dominating set of a connected graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices of $G$ such that every vertex of $V(G) \setminus S$ is at distance at most~$k$ from some vertex of $S$. The $k$-domination number,…

The global defensive $k$-alliance is a very well studied notion in graph theory, it provides a method of classification of graphs based on relations between members of a particular set of vertices. In this paper we explore this notion in…

Let $\G(V,E)$ be a simple graph without loops nor multiple edges. A nonempty subset $S \subseteq V$ is said a {\em global offensive alliance} if every vertex $v \in V- S$ satisfies that $\d_S(v) \geq \d_{\overline{S}}(v)+1$. The {\em global…

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…

Let $G=(V, E)$ be a simple and undirected graph. For some integer $k\geq 1$, a set $D\subseteq V$ is said to be a k-dominating set in $G$ if every vertex $v$ of $G$ outside $D$ has at least $k$ neighbors in $D$. Furthermore, for some real…
