Independent dominating sets in triangle-free graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The independent domination number of a graph is the smallest cardinality of an independent set that dominates the graph. In this paper we consider the independent domination number of triangle-free graphs. We improve several of the known bounds as a function of the order and minimum degree, thereby answering conjectures of Haviland.

The independent domination number of maximal triangle-free graphs
A triangle-free graph is maximal if the addition of any edge produces a triangle. A set S of vertices in a graph G is called an independent dominating set if S is both an independent and a dominating set of G. The independent domination number i(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of an independent dominating set of G. In this paper, we show that i(G) ≤ δ(G) ≤ n 2 for maximal triangle-free graph...
متن کاملStrength of strongest dominating sets in fuzzy graphs
A set S of vertices in a graph G=(V,E) is a dominating set ofG if every vertex of V-S is adjacent to some vertex of S.For an integer k≥1, a set S of vertices is a k-step dominating set if any vertex of $G$ is at distance k from somevertex of S. In this paper, using membership values of vertices and edges in fuzzy graphs, we introduce the concepts of strength of strongestdominating set as well a...
متن کاملDominating cycles in triangle-free graphs
A cycle C in a graph G is said to be dominating if E(G−C) = ∅. Enomoto et al. showed that if G is a 2-connected triangle-free graph with α(G) ≤ 2κ(G) − 2, then every longest cycle is dominating. But it is unknown whether the condition on the independence number is sharp. In this paper, we show that if G is a 2-connected triangle-free graph with α(G) ≤ 2κ(G) − 1, then G has a longest cycle which...
متن کاملParameterized Complexity of Neighborhood Problems in Graphs with no Small Cycles
We show that several problems that are hard for various parameterized complexity classes on general graphs, become fixed parameter tractable on graphs with no small cycles. More specifically, we give fixed parameter algorithms for Dominating Set, t-Vertex Cover (where we need to cover at least t edges) and several of their variants on graphs that have no triangles or cycles of length 4. These p...
متن کاملPerfect graphs of strong domination and independent strong domination
Let γ(G), i(G), γS(G) and iS(G) denote the domination number, the independent domination number, the strong domination number and the independent strong domination number of a graph G, respectively. A graph G is called γi-perfect (domination perfect) if γ(H) = i(H), for every induced subgraph H of G. The classes of γγS-perfect, γSiS-perfect, iiS-perfect and γiS-perfect graphs are defined analog...
