چکیده

For any graph, there is a largest integer k such that given any partition of the vertex set with at most k elements in each class of the partition, there is transversal of the partition that is a dominating set in the graph. Some basic results about this parameter, the partition domination number, are obtained. In particular, it is shown that its value is 2 for the two-dimensional infinite grid, and that determining whether a given vertex partition admits a dominating transversal is NP-complete, even for a graph which is a simple path. The existence of various dominating transversals in certain partitions in regular graphs is studied as well.

Partitioning of Loop-free Sperner Hypergraphs into Transversals

This article explores possibilities of partitioning the vertex set of a given simple loop-free Sperner hypergraph into a union of transversals. Studies are done on the possible number of transversals in such partitions, followed by forming a hypergraph (on the vertex set of the given hypergraph) that consists of transversals for hyperedges.

Extremal Problems For Transversals In Graphs With Bounded Degree

We introduce and discuss generalizations of the problem of independent transversals. Given a graph property R, we investigate whether any graph of maximum degree at most d with a vertex partition into classes of size at least p admits a transversal having property R. In this paper we study this problem for the following properties R: “acyclic”, “H-free”, and “having connected components of orde...

Independent transversals in locally sparse graphs

Let G be a graph with maximum degree ∆ whose vertex set is partitioned into parts V (G) = V1∪ . . .∪Vr . A transversal is a subset of V (G) containing exactly one vertex from each part Vi. If it is also an independent set, then we call it an independent transversal. The local degree of G is the maximum number of neighbors of a vertex v in a part Vi, taken over all choices of Vi and v 6∈ Vi. We ...

The upper domatic number of powers of graphs

Let $A$ and $B$ be two disjoint subsets of the vertex set $V$ of a graph $G$. The set $A$ is said to dominate $B$, denoted by $A rightarrow B$, if for every vertex $u in B$ there exists a vertex $v in A$ such that $uv in E(G)$. For any graph $G$, a partition $pi = {V_1,$ $V_2,$ $ldots,$ $V_p}$ of the vertex set $V$ is an textit{upper domatic partition} if $V_i rightarrow V_j$ or $V_j rightarrow...

Weighted Transversals of a Hypergraph

We consider a generalization of the notion of transversal to a finite hypergraph, so called weighted transversals. Given a non-negative weight vector assigned to each hyperedge of the input hypergraph, we define a weighted transversal as a minimal vertex set which intersects a collection of hyperedges of sufficiently large total weight. We show that the hypergraph of all weighted transversals i...
