On graphs having a unique minimum independent dominating set

  • Jason Hedetniemi
چکیده

In this paper, we consider graphs having a unique minimum independent dominating set. We first discuss the effects of deleting a vertex, or the closed neighborhood of a vertex, from such graphs. We then discuss five operations which, in certain circumstances, can be used to combine two graphs, each having a unique minimum independent dominating set, to produce a new graph also having a unique minimum independent dominating set. Using these operations, we characterize the set of trees having a unique minimum independent dominating set.

A Review on Graphs with Unique Minimum Dominating Sets

A dominating set for a graph G is a subset D of V such that every vertex not in D is adjacent to at least one member of D. This paper deals with some of the graphs having unique minimum dominating sets. We also find a unique minimum dominating sets for block graphs and maximum graphs.

Hypo-efficient domination and hypo-unique domination

For a graph $G$ let $gamma (G)$ be its domination number. We define a graph G to be (i) a hypo-efficient domination graph (or a hypo-$mathcal{ED}$ graph) if $G$ has no efficient dominating set (EDS) but every graph formed by removing a single vertex from $G$ has at least one EDS, and (ii) a hypo-unique domination graph (a hypo-$mathcal{UD}$ graph) if $G$ has at least two minimum dominating sets...

On independent domination numbers of grid and toroidal grid directed graphs

A subset $S$ of vertex set $V(D)$ is an {em indpendent dominating set} of $D$ if $S$ is both an independent and a dominating set of $D$. The {em indpendent domination number}, $i(D)$ is the cardinality of the smallest independent dominating set of $D$. In this paper we calculate the independent domination number of the { em cartesian product} of two {em directed paths} $P_m$ and $P_n$ for arbi...

Double Roman domination and domatic numbers of graphs

A double Roman dominating function on a graph $G$ with vertex set $V(G)$ is defined in cite{bhh} as a function$f:V(G)rightarrow{0,1,2,3}$ having the property that if $f(v)=0$, then the vertex $v$ must have at least twoneighbors assigned 2 under $f$ or one neighbor $w$ with $f(w)=3$, and if $f(v)=1$, then the vertex $v$ must haveat least one neighbor $u$ with $f(u)ge 2$. The weight of a double R...
