Further Results on Domination in Graphoidally Covered Graphs

چکیده
In any graph G = (V,E) that is not necessarily finite, a graphoidal cover is a set ψ of nontrivial paths P1, P2, . . . , not necessarily open and called ψ -edges, such that (GC-1) no vertex of G is an internal vertex of more than one path in ψ, and (GC-2) every edge of G is in exactly one of the paths in ψ. A ψ -dominating set of G is then defined as a set D of vertices in G such that every vertex of G is either in D or is an end-vertex of a ψ -edge having its other end-vertex in D. In this note, we present some new results that facilitate having more insight into the notion of ψ -domination in graphs; particularly, we give a characterization of (i) finite connected graphs possessing a graphoidal cover ψ such that (G,ψ) is ψ -independent and (ii) trees and unicyclic graphs which possess a graphoidal cover ψ such that their ψ -domination numbers turn out to be one.

Total domination in $K_r$-covered graphs
The inflation $G_{I}$ of a graph $G$ with $n(G)$ vertices and $m(G)$ edges is obtained from $G$ by replacing every vertex of degree $d$ of $G$ by a clique, which is isomorph to the complete graph $K_{d}$, and each edge $(x_{i},x_{j})$ of $G$ is replaced by an edge $(u,v)$ in such a way that $uin X_{i}$, $vin X_{j}$, and two different edges of $G$ are replaced by non-adjacent edges of $G_{I}$.

متن کاملOn the super domination number of graphs
The open neighborhood of a vertex $v$ of a graph $G$ is the set $N(v)$ consisting of all vertices adjacent to $v$ in $G$. For $Dsubseteq V(G)$, we define $overline{D}=V(G)setminus D$. A set $Dsubseteq V(G)$ is called a super dominating set of $G$ if for every vertex $uin overline{D}$, there exists $vin D$ such that $N(v)cap overline{D}={u}$. The super domination number of $G$ is the minimum car...
متن کاملPaired-Domination Game Played in Graphs
In this paper, we continue the study of the domination game in graphs introduced by Bre{v{s}}ar, Klav{v{z}}ar, and Rall. We study the paired-domination version of the domination game which adds a matching dimension to the game. This game is played on a graph $G$ by two players, named Dominator and Pairer. They alternately take turns choosing vertices of $G$ such that each vertex chosen by Domin...
متن کاملWeak signed Roman k-domination in graphs
Let $kge 1$ be an integer, and let $G$ be a finite and simple graph with vertex set $V(G)$.A weak signed Roman $k$-dominating function (WSRkDF) on a graph $G$ is a function$f:V(G)rightarrow{-1,1,2}$ satisfying the conditions that $sum_{xin N[v]}f(x)ge k$ for eachvertex $vin V(G)$, where $N[v]$ is the closed neighborhood of $v$. The weight of a WSRkDF $f$ is$w(f)=sum_{vin V(G)}f(v)$. The weak si...
