چکیده

Let Γ = (V,E) be a simple graph. For a nonempty set X ⊆ V , and a vertex v ∈ V , δX(v) denotes the number of neighbors v has in X. A nonempty set S ⊆ V is a defensive k-alliance in Γ = (V,E) if δS(v) ≥ δS̄(v)+k, ∀v ∈ S. A defensive k-alliance S is called global if it forms a dominating set. The global defensive k-alliance number of Γ, denoted by γ k(Γ), is the minimum cardinality of a defensive k-alliance in Γ. We study the mathematical properties of γ k(Γ).

On global (strong) defensive alliances in some product graphs

A defensive alliance in a graph is a set $S$ of vertices with the property that every vertex in $S$ has at most one moreneighbor outside of $S$ than it has inside of $S$. A defensive alliance $S$ is called global if it forms a dominating set. The global defensive alliance number of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a global defensive alliance in $G$. In this article we study the global ...

Strong Alliances in Graphs

For any simple connected graph $G=(V,E)$, a defensive alliance is a subset $S$ of $V$ satisfying the condition that every vertex $vin S$ has at most one more neighbour in $V-S$ than it has in $S$. The minimum cardinality of any defensive alliance in $G$ is called the alliance number of $G$, denoted $a(G)$. In this paper, we introduce a new type of alliance number called $k$-strong alliance numb...

Exact Defensive Alliances in Graphs

A nonempty set S ⊂ V is a defensive k-alliance in G = (V,E), k ∈ [−Δ,Δ] ∪ Z, if for every v ∈ S, dS(v) ≥ dS̄(v) + k. A defensive k-alliance S is called exact, if S is defensive k-alliance but is no defensive (k+1)-alliance in G. In this paper we study the mathematical properties of exact defensive k-alliances in graphs. In particular, we obtain several bounds for defensive k-alliance of a graph....

Global defensive alliances in star graphs

A defensive alliance in a graph G = (V,E) is a set of vertices S ⊆ V where for each v ∈ S, at least half of the vertices in the closed neighborhood of v are in S. A defensive alliance S is called global if every vertex in V (G) \S is adjacent to at least one member of the defensive alliance S. In this paper, we derive an upper bound to the size of the minimum global defensive alliances in star ...

Upper k-Alliances in Graphs

A nonempty set S ⊆ V is a defensive k-alliance in Γ = (V,E), k ∈ [−Δ,Δ] ∩ Z, if for every v ∈ S, δS(v) ≥ δS̄(v) + k. An defensive kalliance S is called critical if no proper subset of S is an defensive k-alliances in Γ = (V,E). The upper defensive k-alliance number of Γ, denoted by Ak(Γ), is defined as the maximum cardinality of a critical defensive k-alliance in Γ. In this paper we study the ma...
