چکیده
Let G V, E be a simple graph. A set S ⊆ V is a dominating set of G, if every vertex in V \S is adjacent to at least one vertex in S. Let Pi n be the family of all dominating sets of a path Pn with cardinality i, and let d Pn, j |P n|. In this paper, we construct Pi n, and obtain a recursive formula for d Pn, i . Using this recursive formula, we consider the polynomialD Pn, x ∑n i n/3 d Pn, i x , which we call domination polynomial of paths and obtain some properties of this polynomial.

Some Families of Graphs whose Domination Polynomials are Unimodal
Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$. The domination polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial $D(G, x)=sum_{i=gamma(G)}^{n} d(G,i) x^{i}$, where $d(G,i)$ is the number of dominating sets of $G$ of size $i$ and $gamma(G)$ is the domination number of $G$. In this paper we present some families of graphs whose domination polynomials are unimodal.
متن کاملOn the domination polynomials of non P4-free graphs
A graph $G$ is called $P_4$-free, if $G$ does not contain an induced subgraph $P_4$. The domination polynomial of a graph $G$ of order $n$ is the polynomial $D(G,x)=sum_{i=1}^{n} d(G,i) x^{i}$, where $d(G,i)$ is the number of dominating sets of $G$ of size $i$. Every root of $D(G,x)$ is called a domination root of $G$. In this paper we state and prove formula for the domination polynomial of no...

Let $G = (V, E)$ be a simple graph of order $n$. The total dominating set is a subset $D$ of $V$ that every vertex of $V$ is adjacent to some vertices of $D$. The total domination number of $G$ is equal to minimum cardinality of total dominating set in $G$ and denoted by $gamma_t(G)$. The total domination polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial $D_t(G,x)=sum d_t(G,i)$, where $d_t(G,i)$ is the numbe...

متن کاملCharacterization of signed paths and cycles admitting minus dominating function
If G = (V, E, σ) is a finite signed graph, a function f : V → {−1, 0, 1} is a minusdominating function (MDF) of G if f(u) +summation over all vertices v∈N(u) of σ(uv)f(v) ≥ 1 for all u ∈ V . In this paper we characterize signed paths and cycles admitting an MDF.
