Measuring domination in directed networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dominance relations between individuals can be represented by a directed social network. A relational power measure is a function that assigns to each position in a directed network a value representing the relational power of that position in the network. We axiomatically characterize two such power measures, the b-measure and the score-measure. We also apply these measures to weighted directed networks that can be interpreted as dominance structures which dominance relations are assigned weights representing the ‘importance’ of each relation. q 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

The β-ranking and the β-measure for directed networks: Axiomatic characterizations
The β-measure has been introduced and characterized by R. van den Brink and R. P. Gilles (Measuring domination in directed networks, Social Networks, 22:141–157, 2000) for measuring the domination in directed networks. The present paper characterizes the ranking induced by the βmeasure. It also provides an alternative characterization of the β-measure.
متن کاملDirected domination in oriented hypergraphs
ErdH{o}s [On Sch"utte problem, Math. Gaz. 47 (1963)] proved that every tournament on $n$ vertices has a directed dominating set of at most $log (n+1)$ vertices, where $log$ is the logarithm to base $2$. He also showed that there is a tournament on $n$ vertices with no directed domination set of cardinality less than $log n - 2 log log n + 1$. This notion of directed domination number has been g...
متن کاملOn independent domination numbers of grid and toroidal grid directed graphs
A subset $S$ of vertex set $V(D)$ is an {em indpendent dominating set} of $D$ if $S$ is both an independent and a dominating set of $D$. The {em indpendent domination number}, $i(D)$ is the cardinality of the smallest independent dominating set of $D$. In this paper we calculate the independent domination number of the { em cartesian product} of two {em directed paths} $P_m$ and $P_n$ for arbi...
متن کاملTwin minus domination in directed graphs
Let $D=(V,A)$ be a finite simple directed graph. A function$f:Vlongrightarrow {-1,0,1}$ is called a twin minus dominatingfunction (TMDF) if $f(N^-[v])ge 1$ and $f(N^+[v])ge 1$ for eachvertex $vin V$. The twin minus domination number of $D$ is$gamma_{-}^*(D)=min{w(f)mid f mbox{ is a TMDF of } D}$. Inthis paper, we initiate the study of twin minus domination numbersin digraphs and present some lo...
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...
