چکیده

Let Γ be a simple graph of size m and degree sequence δ1 ≥ δ2 ≥ · · · ≥ δn. Let L(Γ) denotes the line graph of Γ. The aim of this paper is to study mathematical properties of the alliance number, a(L(Γ), and the global alliance number, γa(L(Γ)), of the line graph of a simple graph. We show that ⌈

On global (strong) defensive alliances in some product graphs

A defensive alliance in a graph is a set $S$ of vertices with the property that every vertex in $S$ has at most one moreneighbor outside of $S$ than it has inside of $S$. A defensive alliance $S$ is called global if it forms a dominating set. The global defensive alliance number of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a global defensive alliance in $G$. In this article we study the global ...

Strong Alliances in Graphs

For any simple connected graph $G=(V,E)$, a defensive alliance is a subset $S$ of $V$ satisfying the condition that every vertex $vin S$ has at most one more neighbour in $V-S$ than it has in $S$. The minimum cardinality of any defensive alliance in $G$ is called the alliance number of $G$, denoted $a(G)$. In this paper, we introduce a new type of alliance number called $k$-strong alliance numb...

Defensive alliances in regular graphs and circulant graphs

In this paper we study defensive alliances in some regular graphs. We determine which subgraphs could a critical defensive alliance of a graph G induce, if G is 6-regular and the cardinality of the alliance is at most 8. In particular, we study the case of circulant graphs, i.e. Cayley graphs on a cyclic group. The critical defensive alliances of a circulant graph of degree at most 6 are comple...

Exact Defensive Alliances in Graphs

A nonempty set S ⊂ V is a defensive k-alliance in G = (V,E), k ∈ [−Δ,Δ] ∪ Z, if for every v ∈ S, dS(v) ≥ dS̄(v) + k. A defensive k-alliance S is called exact, if S is defensive k-alliance but is no defensive (k+1)-alliance in G. In this paper we study the mathematical properties of exact defensive k-alliances in graphs. In particular, we obtain several bounds for defensive k-alliance of a graph....

Boundary defensive k-alliances in graphs

We define a boundary defensive k-alliance in a graph as a set S of vertices with the property that every vertex in S has exactly k more neighbors in S than it has outside of S. In this paper we study mathematical properties of boundary defensive k-alliances. In particular, we obtain several bounds on the cardinality of every boundary defensive k-alliance. Moreover, we consider the case in which...
