Maximum Degree Vertex Domatic Set Algorithm for Domatic Number Problem

The domatic number problem

A dominating set of a graph G =( P’, E) is a subset D of Vsuch that every vertex not in D is adjacent to some vertex in D. The domatic number d(G) of G is the maximum positive integer k such that V can be partitioned into k pairwise disjoint dominating sets. The purpose of this paper is to study the domatic numbers of graphs that are obtained from small graphs by performing graph operations, su...

An Exact 2.9416n Algorithm for the Three Domatic Number Problem

The three domatic number problem asks whether a given undirected graph can be partitioned into at least three dominating sets, i.e., sets whose closed neighborhood equals the vertex set of the graph. Since this problem is NP-complete, no polynomial-time algorithm is known for it. The naive deterministic algorithm for this problem runs in time 3n, up to polynomial factors. In this paper, we desi...

The Domatic Number Problem in Interval Graphs

Domatic Number of Graph Products

A partition of V (G), all of whose classes are dominating sets in G, is called a domatic partition of G. The maximum number of classes of a domatic partition of G is called the domatic number of G. The concept of a domatic number was introduced in [1]. More interesting results on domatically full graphs, domatically critical, domatically cocritical graphs and other domatic numbers can be found ...

Point-set Domatic Numbers of Graphs

A subset D of the vertex set V (G) of a graph G is called point-set dominating, if for each subset S ⊆ V (G) − D there exists a vertex v ∈ D such that the subgraph of G induced by S ∪ {v} is connected. The maximum number of classes of a partition of V (G), all of whose classes are point-set dominating sets, is the point-set domatic number dp(G) of G. Its basic properties are studied in the paper.
