On Independent Domination in Direct Products

چکیده
In [16] Nowakowski and Rall listed a series of conjectures involving several different graph products. particular, they conjectured that $$i(G\times H) \ge i(G)i(H)$$ where i(G) is the independent domination number G $$G\times H$$ direct product graphs H. We show this conjecture false, and, in fact, construct pairs for which $$\min \{i(G), i(H)\} - i(G\times H)$$ arbitrarily large. also give exact value K_n)$$ when either path or cycle.

Packing and Domination Invariants on Cartesian Products and Direct Products
The dual notions of domination and packing in finite simple graphs were first extensively explored by Meir and Moon in [15]. Most of the lower bounds for the domination number of a nontrivial Cartesian product involve the 2-packing, or closed neighborhood packing, number of the factors. In addition, the domination number of any graph is at least as large as its 2-packing number, and the invaria...
متن کاملIndependent domination in directed graphs
In this paper we initialize the study of independent domination in directed graphs. We show that an independent dominating set of an orientation of a graph is also an independent dominating set of the underlying graph, but that the converse is not true in general. We then prove existence and uniqueness theorems for several classes of digraphs including orientations of complete graphs, paths, tr...
متن کاملOn the outer independent 2-rainbow domination number of Cartesian products of paths and cycles
Let G be a graph. A 2-rainbow dominating function (or 2-RDF) of G is a function f from V(G) to the set of all subsets of the set {1,2} such that for a vertex v ∈ V (G) with f(v) = ∅, thecondition $bigcup_{uin N_{G}(v)}f(u)={1,2}$ is fulfilled, wher NG(v) is the open neighborhoodof v. The weight of 2-RDF f of G is the value$omega (f):=sum _{vin V(G)}|f(v)|$. The 2-rainbowd...
متن کاملMore results on total domination in direct products of graphs
Upper and lower bounds on the total domination number of the direct product of graphs are given. The bounds involve the {2}-total domination number and the total 2-tuple domination number of the factors. Using these relationships some exact total domination numbers are obtained. An infinite family of graphs is constructed showing that the bounds are best possible. The domination number of direc...
