چکیده

As a generalization of connected domination in a graph G we consider domination by sets having at most k components. The order γ c (G) of such a smallest set we relate to γc(G), the order of a smallest connected dominating set. For a tree T we give bounds on γ c (T ) in terms of minimum valency and diameter. For trees the inequality γ c (T ) ≤ n− k − 1 is known to hold, we determine the class of trees, for which equality holds. please also repeat in the submission form

Domination and Signed Domination Number of Cayley Graphs

In this paper, we investigate domination number as well as signed domination numbers of Cay(G : S) for all cyclic group G of order n, where n in {p^m; pq} and S = { a^i : i in B(1; n)}. We also introduce some families of connected regular graphs gamma such that gamma_S(Gamma) in {2,3,4,5 }.

TOTAL DOMINATION POLYNOMIAL OF GRAPHS FROM PRIMARY SUBGRAPHS

Let $G = (V, E)$ be a simple graph of order $n$. The total dominating set is a subset $D$ of $V$ that every vertex of $V$ is adjacent to some vertices of $D$. The total domination number of $G$ is equal to minimum cardinality of total dominating set in $G$ and denoted by $gamma_t(G)$. The total domination polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial $D_t(G,x)=sum d_t(G,i)$, where $d_t(G,i)$ is the numbe...

Generalized power domination of graphs

In this paper, we introduce the concept of k-power domination which is a common generalization of domination and power domination. We extend several known results for power domination to k-power domination. Concerning the complexity of the k-power domination problem, we first show that deciding whether a graph admits a k-power dominating set of size at most t is NP-complete for chordal graphs a...

On Chordal-k-Generalized Split Graphs

A graph G is a chordal-k-generalized split graph if G is chordal and there is a clique Q in G such that every connected component in G[V \ Q] has at most k vertices. Thus, chordal-1-generalized split graphs are exactly the split graphs. We characterize chordal-k-generalized split graphs by forbidden induced subgraphs. Moreover, we characterize a very special case of chordal-2-generalized split ...

Paired-Domination Game Played in Graphs

In this paper, we continue the study of the domination game in graphs introduced by Bre{v{s}}ar, Klav{v{z}}ar, and Rall. We study the paired-domination version of the domination game which adds a matching dimension to the game. This game is played on a graph $G$ by two players, named Dominator and Pairer. They alternately take turns choosing vertices of $G$ such that each vertex chosen by Domin...

Generalized Power Domination in Regular Graphs

In this paper, we continue the study of power domination in graphs (see SIAM J. Discrete Math. 15 (2002), 519–529; SIAM J. Discrete Math. 22 (2008), 554–567; SIAM J. Discrete Math. 23 (2009), 1382–1399). Power domination in graphs was birthed from the problem of monitoring an electric power system by placing as few measurement devices in the system as possible. A set of vertices is defined to b...
