Trees with equal 2-domination and 2-independence numbers

چکیده
Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A subset S of V is a 2-dominating set if every vertex of V − S is dominated at least 2 times, and S is a 2-independent set of G if every vertex of S has at most one neighbor in S. The minimum cardinality of a 2-dominating set a of G is the 2-domination number γ2(G) and the maximum cardinality of a 2-independent set of G is the 2-independence number β2(G). Fink and Jacobson proved that γ2(G) ≤ β2(G) for every graph G. In this paper we provide a constructive characterization of trees with equal 2-domination and 2-independence numbers.

A characterization of trees with equal 2-domination and 2-independence numbers
A set S of vertices in a graph G is a 2-dominating set if every vertex of G not in S is adjacent to at least two vertices in S, and S is a 2-independent set if every vertex in S is adjacent to at most one vertex of S. The 2-domination number γ2(G) is the minimum cardinality of a 2-dominating set in G, and the 2-independence number α2(G) is the maximum cardinality of a 2-independent set in G. Ch...
متن کاملOn trees with equal Roman domination and outer-independent Roman domination numbers
A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph $G$ is a function $f : V (G) to {0, 1, 2}$satisfying the condition that every vertex $u$ for which $f(u) = 0$ is adjacent to at least onevertex $v$ for which $f(v) = 2$. A Roman dominating function $f$ is called an outer-independentRoman dominating function (OIRDF) on $G$ if the set ${vin Vmid f(v)=0}$ is independent.The (outer-independent) Roman dom...
متن کاملA characterization of trees with equal Roman 2-domination and Roman domination numbers
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a vertex $v in V$, by $N(v)$ we represent the open neighbourhood of $v$. Let $f:Vrightarrow {0,1,2}$ be a function on $G$. The weight of $f$ is $omega(f)=sum_{vin V}f(v)$ and let $V_i={vin V colon f(v)=i}$, for $i=0,1,2$. The function $f$ is said to bebegin{itemize}item a Roman ${2}$-dominating function, if for every vertex $vin V_0$, $sum_{uin N(v)}f(u)geq 2$. The R...
متن کاملDomination, eternal domination and clique covering
Eternal and m-eternal domination are concerned with using mobile guards to protect a graph against infinite sequences of attacks at vertices. Eternal domination allows one guard to move per attack, whereas more than one guard may move per attack in the m-eternal domination model. Inequality chains consisting of the domination, eternal domination, m-eternal domination, independence, and clique c...
متن کاملOn Trees with Equal Total Domination and 2-outer-independent Domination Numbers
For a graph G = (V,E), a subset D ⊆ V (G) is a total dominating set if every vertex of G has a neighbor in D. The total domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set of G. A subset D ⊆ V (G) is a 2-dominating set of G if every vertex of V (G) \ D has at least two neighbors in D, while it is a 2-outer-independent dominating set of G if additionally the set V (G) \ D...
