Broadcast Domination on Block Graphs in Linear Time

چکیده
A broadcast domination on a graph assigns an integer value f(u) ≥ 0 to each vertex u, such that every vertex u with f(u) = 0 is within distance f(v) from a vertex v with f(v) > 0. The Broadcast Domination problem seeks to compute a broadcast domination where the sum of the assigned values is minimized. We show that Broadcast Domination can be solved in linear time on block graphs. For general graphs the best known algorithm runs in time O(n). For trees and interval graphs, linear-time algorithms are known. As block graphs form a superclass of trees, our result extends the classes of graphs on which this problem is solvable in linear time.

A Linear-time Algorithm for Broadcast Domination Problem on Interval Graphs
The broadcast domination problem of a graph G = (V,E) is to find a subset B ⊆ V such that the vertices in V \B can be dominated by some vertex in B. The difference between broadcast domination and classical domination is that each vertex v in B is assigned a power value f(v) where f(v) ≥ 1 and the vertices in distance at most f(v) to v can hear (be dominated by) v. The goal is to find the minim...

The 2-step domination problem is to find a minimum vertex set D of a graph such that every vertex of the graph is either in D or at distance two from some vertex of D. In the present paper, by using a labeling method, we provide an O(m) time algorithm to solve the 2-step domination problem on block graphs, a superclass of trees.

In this paper, we investigate domination number, $gamma$, as well as signed domination number, $gamma_{_S}$, of all cubic Cayley graphs of cyclic and quaternion groups. In addition, we show that the domination and signed domination numbers of cubic graphs depend on each other.
متن کاملPower domination in block graphs
The problem of monitoring an electric power system by placing as few measurement devices in the system as possible is closely related to the well-known domination problem in graphs. In 2002, Haynes et al. considered the graph theoretical representation of this problem as a variation of the domination problem. They defined a set S to be a power dominating set of a graph if every vertex and every...
