چکیده

A set S is an offensive alliance if for every vertex v in its boundary N(S)−S it holds that the majority of vertices in v’s closed neighbourhood are in S. The offensive alliance number is the minimum cardinality of an offensive alliance. In this paper we explore the bounds on the offensive alliance and the strong offensive alliance numbers (where a strict majority is required). In particular, we show that the offensive alliance number is at most 2/3 the order and the strong offensive alliance number is at most 5/6 the order.

Global Offensive Alliances in Graphs via Degree Sequences

A global offensive alliance in a graph G = (V,E) is a subset S of V such that for every vertex v not in S at least half of the vertices in the closed neighborhood of v are in S. We give an upper bound on the global offensive alliance number of a graph in terms of its degree sequence. We also study global offensive alliances of random graphs.

On defensive alliances and strong global offensive alliances

We consider complexity issues and upper bounds for defensive alliances and strong global offensive alliances in graphs. We prove that it is NP-complete to decide for a given 6-regular graph G and a given integer a, whether G contains a defensive alliance of order at most a. Furthermore, we prove that determining the strong global offensive alliance number γô(G) of a graph G is APX-hard for cubi...

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 ...

Computing global offensive alliances in Cartesian product graphs

A global offensive alliance in a graph G is a set S of vertices with the property that every vertex not belonging to S has at least one more neighbor in S than it has outside of S. The global offensive alliance number of G, γo(G), is the minimum cardinality of a global offensive alliance in G. A set S of vertices of a graph G is a dominating set for G if every vertex not belonging to S has at l...
