A generalised upper bound for the k-tuple domination number
In this paper, we provide an upper bound for the k-tuple domination number that generalises known upper bounds for the double and triple domination numbers. We prove that for any graph G, ×k(G) ln( − k + 2)+ ln(∑k−1 m=1(k −m)d̂m + )+ 1 − k + 2 n, where ×k(G) is the k-tuple domination number; is the minimal degree; d̂m is the m-degree of G; = 1 if k = 1 or 2 and =−d if k 3; d is the average degree...
متن کاملImproved upper bounds for the k-tuple domination number
We improve the generalized upper bound for the k-tuple domination number given in [A. Gagarin and V.E. Zverovich, A generalized upper bound for the k-tuple domination number, Discrete Math. 308 no. 5–6 (2008), 880–885]. Precisely, we show that for any graph G, when k = 3, or k = 4 and d ≤ 3.2, γ×k(G) ≤ ln(δ−k + 2) + ln ( (k − 2)d + ∑k−2 m=2 (k−m) 4min{m, k−2−m} d̂m + d̂k−1 ) + 1 δ − k + 2 n, and,...
متن کاملThe upper bound on k-tuple domination numbers of graphs
In a graph G, a vertex is said to dominate itself and all vertices adjacent to it. For a positive integer k, the k-tuple domination number γ×k(G) of G is the minimum size of a subset D of V (G) such that every vertex in G is dominated by at least k vertices in D. To generalize/improve known upper bounds for the k-tuple domination number, this paper establishes that for any positive integer k an...
متن کاملThe k-tuple domination number revisited
The following fundamental result for the domination number γ(G) of a graph G was proved by Alon and Spencer, Arnautov, Lovász and Payan: γ(G) ≤ ln(δ + 1) + 1 δ + 1 n, where n is the order and δ is the minimum degree of vertices of G. A similar upper bound for the double domination number was found by Harant and Henning [On double domination in graphs. Discuss. Math. Graph Theory 25 (2005) 29–34...
