چکیده

A graph G is 3-domination-critical (3-critical, for short), if its domination number γ is 3 and the addition of any edge decreases γ by 1. In this paper, we show that every 3-critical graph with independence number 4 and minimum degree 3 is Hamilton-connected. Combining the result with those in [2], [4] and [5], we solve the following conjecture: a connected 3critical graph G is Hamilton-connected if and only if τ(G) > 1, where τ(G) is the toughness of G.

Hamilton-Connectivity of 3-Domination Critical Graphs

A graph G is 3-domination critical if its domination number γ is 3 and the addition of any edge decreases γ by 1. Let G be a 3-domination critical graph with toughness more than one. It was proved G is Hamiltonconnected for the cases α ≤ δ (Discrete Mathematics 271 (2003) 1-12) and α = δ + 2 (European Journal of Combinatorics 23(2002) 777-784). In this paper, we show G is Hamilton-connected for...

Some recent results on domination in graphs

In this paper, we survey some new results in four areas of domination in graphs, namely: (1) the toughness and matching structure of graphs having domination number 3 and which are “critical” in the sense that if one adds any missing edge, the domination number falls to 2; (2) the matching structure of graphs having domination number 3 and which are “critical” in the sense that if one deletes a...

Hamilton - connectivity of 3 - Domination Critical Graphs with α = δ + 2

A graph G is 3-domination critical if its domination number γ is 3 and the addition of any edge decreases γ by 1. It was proved by Favaron et al. that α ≤ δ + 2 for any connected 3-domination critical graph. Denote by τ (G) the toughness of a graph G . Recently Chen et al. conjectured that a connected 3-domination critical graph G is Hamilton-connected if and only if τ (G) > 1 and showed the co...

Domination in Circulant Graphs

A graph G with no isolated vertex is total domination vertex critical if for any vertex v of G that is not adjacent to a vertex of degree one, the total domination number of G− v is less than the total domination number of G. We call these graphs γt-critical. In this paper, we determine the domination and the total domination number in the Circulant graphs Cn〈1, 3〉, and then study γ-criticality...

A Remark on Total Domination Critical Graphs

A graph G with no isolated vertex is total domination vertex critical if for any vertex v of G that is not adjacent to a vertex of degree one, the total domination number of G− v is less than the total domination number of G. We call these graphs γt-critical. In this paper, we disprove a conjecture posed in a recent paper(On an open problem concerning total domination critical graphs, Expo. Mat...
