چکیده

Let G = (V; E) be a /nite and undirected graph without loops and multiple edges. An edge is said to dominate itself and any edge adjacent to it. A subset D of E is called a perfect edge dominating set if every edge of E \ D is dominated by exactly one edge in D and an e cient edge dominating set if every edge of E is dominated by exactly one edge in D. The perfect (e cient) edge domination problem is to /nd a perfect (e cient) edge dominating set of minimum size in G. Suppose that each edge e is associated with a real number w(e) as its weight. Then, the weighted perfect (e cient) edge domination problem is to calculate a perfect (e cient) edge dominating set D such that the weight w(D) of D is minimum, where w(D)= ∑ e∈D w(e). In this paper, we show that the perfect (e cient) edge domination problem is NP-complete on bipartite (planar bipartite) graphs. Moreover, we present linear-time algorithms to solve the weighted perfect (e cient) edge domination problem on generalized series–parallel graphs and chordal graphs. ? 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Total domination in $K_r$-covered graphs

The inflation $G_{I}$ of a graph $G$ with $n(G)$ vertices and $m(G)$ edges is obtained from $G$ by replacing every vertex of degree $d$ of $G$ by a clique, which is isomorph to the complete graph $K_{d}$, and each edge $(x_{i},x_{j})$ of $G$ is replaced by an edge $(u,v)$ in such a way that $uin X_{i}$, $vin X_{j}$, and two different edges of $G$ are replaced by non-adjacent edges of $G_{I}$.

On exponential domination and graph operations

An exponential dominating set of graph $G = (V,E )$ is a subset $Ssubseteq V(G)$ such that $sum_{uin S}(1/2)^{overline{d}{(u,v)-1}}geq 1$ for every vertex $v$ in $V(G)-S$, where $overline{d}(u,v)$ is the distance between vertices $u in S$ and $v  in V(G)-S$ in the graph $G -(S-{u})$. The exponential domination number, $gamma_{e}(G)$, is the smallest cardinality of an exponential dominating set....

Solving the Weighted Efficient Edge Domination Problem on Bipartite Permutation Graphs

Given a simple graph G = (V, E), an edge (u, u) E E is said to dominate itself and any edge (u,x) or (u,x), where x E V. A subset D C E is called an efficient edge dominating set of G if all edges in E are dominated by exactly one edge of D. The efficient edge domination problem is to find an efficient edge dominating set of minimum size in G. Suppose that each edge e E E is associated with a r...
