A Dichotomy for Upper Domination in Monogenic Classes
نویسندگان
چکیده
An upper dominating set in a graph is a minimal (with respect to set inclusion) dominating set of maximum cardinality. The problem of finding an upper dominating set is NP-hard for general graphs and in many restricted graph families. In the present paper, we study the computational complexity of this problem in monogenic classes of graphs (i.e. classes defined by a single forbidden induced subgraph) and show that the problem admits a dichotomy in this family. In particular, we prove that if the only forbidden induced subgraph is a P4 or a 2K2 (or any induced subgraph of these graphs), then the problem can be solved in polynomial time. Otherwise, it is NP-hard.

New results on upper domatic number of graphs
For a graph $G = (V, E)$, a partition $pi = {V_1,$ $V_2,$ $ldots,$ $V_k}$ of the vertex set $V$ is an textit{upper domatic partition} if $V_i$ dominates $V_j$ or $V_j$ dominates $V_i$ or both for every $V_i, V_j in pi$, whenever $i neq j$. The textit{upper domatic number} $D(G)$ is the maximum order of an upper domatic partition. We study the properties of upper domatic number and propose an up...
متن کاملOn Roman, Global and Restrained Domination in Graphs
In this paper, we present new upper bounds for the global domination and Roman domination numbers and also prove that these results are asymptotically best possible. Moreover, we give upper bounds for the restrained domination and total restrained domination numbers for large classes of graphs, and show that, for almost all graphs, the restrained domination number is equal to the domination num...
متن کامل$k$-tuple total restrained domination/domatic in graphs
For any integer $kgeq 1$, a set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a $k$-tuple total dominating set of $G$ if any vertex of $G$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in $S$, and any vertex of $V-S$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in $V-S$. The minimum number of vertices of such a set in $G$ we call the $k$-tuple total restrained domination number of $G$. The maximum num...
متن کاملThe probabilistic method for upper bounds in domination theory
Domination is a rapidly developing area of research in graph theory, and its various applications to ad hoc networks, distributed computing, social networks and web graphs partly explain the increased interest. This thesis focuses on domination theory, and the main aim of the study is to apply a probabilistic approach to obtain new upper bounds for various domination parameters. Chapters 2 and ...
متن کاملThe dichotomy of prohibition and acceptance of music in the Ghaznavid period
Abstract One of the important cultural issues after the domination of Islam is the attitude to music. In the analyses carried out by Islamic scholars, the use of music was distinguished into two permitted and non-permitted flows. As a result of the use of illegal music, two discourses of sanctions and acceptance were formed, which were qualitatively and quantitatively different. In the Ghaznavi...
