The Domination Number of a Tournament
نویسنده
چکیده
We find bounds for the domination number of a tournament and investigate the sharpness of these bounds. We also find the domination number of a random tournament.

Directed 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 کاملNew domination conditions for tournaments
The definition for the domination graph of a tournament states that it has the same vertices as the tournament with an edge between two vertices if every other vertex is beaten by at least one of them. In this paper two generalisations of domination graphs are proposed by using different relaxations of the adjacency definition. The first type is formed by reducing the number of vertices which m...
متن کاملDomination Graphs of Tournaments and Digraphs
The domination graph of a digraph has the same vertices as the digraph with an edge between two vertices if every other vertex loses to at least one of the two. Previously, the authors showed that the domination graph of a tournament is either an odd cycle with or without isolated and/or pendant vertices, or a forest of caterpillars. They also showed that any graph consisting of an odd cycle wi...
متن کاملOn the bounded domination number of tournaments
In a simple digraph, a star of degree t is a union of t edges with a common tail. The k-domination number k(G) of digraph G is the minimum number of stars of degree at most k needed to cover the vertex set. We prove that k(T )= dn=(k +1)e when T is a tournament with n¿14k lg k vertices. This improves a result of Chen, Lu and West. We also give a short direct proof of the result of E. Szekeres a...
متن کاملOn the super domination number of graphs
The open neighborhood of a vertex $v$ of a graph $G$ is the set $N(v)$ consisting of all vertices adjacent to $v$ in $G$. For $Dsubseteq V(G)$, we define $overline{D}=V(G)setminus D$. A set $Dsubseteq V(G)$ is called a super dominating set of $G$ if for every vertex $uin overline{D}$, there exists $vin D$ such that $N(v)cap overline{D}={u}$. The super domination number of $G$ is the minimum car...
