چکیده

The linear programmimg formulations of graph domination and graph packing are duals. Likewise, fractional efficient domination for a graph G has as its dual the parameter discussed in this paper, namely the minimum weight of a real-valued function f : V(G) -+ [0, (0) such that the sum of the weights in each closed neighborhood is at least its cardinality. The fractional and integer "closed neighborhood order domination" parameters, WI and W, are introduced. Deciding ifW(G) ~ k is an NPcomplete problem even for just the class of bipartite graphs or chordal graphs. A linear time algorithm for computing W (T) for an arbitrary tree T is presented. Other theoretical and computational results are presented.

On the signed Roman edge k-domination in graphs

Let $kgeq 1$ be an integer, and $G=(V,E)$ be a finite and simplegraph. The closed neighborhood $N_G[e]$ of an edge $e$ in a graph$G$ is the set consisting of $e$ and all edges having a commonend-vertex with $e$. A signed Roman edge $k$-dominating function(SREkDF) on a graph $G$ is a function $f:E rightarrow{-1,1,2}$ satisfying the conditions that (i) for every edge $e$of $G$, $sum _{xin N[e]} f...

Signed total (j, k)-domatic numbers of graphs

Let G be a finite and simple graph with vertex set V (G), and let f : V (G) → {−1, 1} be a two-valued function. If k ≥ 1 is an integer and ∑ x∈N(v) f(x) ≥ k for each v ∈ V (G), where N(v) is the neighborhood of v, then f is a signed total k-dominating function on G. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of distinct signed total k-dominating functions on G with the property that ∑d i=1 fi(x) ≤ j for each x...

Three-valued k-neighborhood domination in graphs

Let k~l be an integer, and let G = (V, E) be a graph. The closed kneighborhood N k[V] of a vertex v E V is the set of vertices within distance k from v. A 3-valued function f defined on V of the form f : V --+ { -1,0, I} is a three-valued k-neighborhood dominating function if the sum of its function values over any closed k-neighborhood is at least 1. The weight of a threevalued k-neighborhood ...

Some Bounds on Alliances in Trees

Given a simple graph G = (V,E), a subset S of the vertices is called a global defensive alliance if S is a dominating set and for every vertex v in S at least half of the vertices in the closed neighborhood of v are in S. Similarly, a subset S is called a global offensive alliance if S is a dominating set and for every vertex v not in S at least half of the vertices in the closed neighborhood o...
