چکیده
The domination polynomial of a graph G of order n is the polynomial D(G, x) = Pn i=γ(G) d(G, i)x , where d(G, i) is the number of dominating sets of G of size i, and γ(G) is the domination number of G. In this paper, we obtain some properties of the coefficients of D(G, x). Also, by study of the dominating sets and the domination polynomials of specific graphs denoted by G′(m), we obtain a relationship between the domination polynomial of graphs containing an induced path of length at least three, and the domination polynomial of related graphs obtained by replacing the path by shorter path. As examples of graphs G′(m), we study the dominating sets and domination polynomials of cycles and generalized theta graphs. Finally, we show that, if n ≡ 0, 2(mod 3) and D(G, x) = D(Cn, x), then G = Cn.

A graph $G$ is called $P_4$-free, if $G$ does not contain an induced subgraph $P_4$. The domination polynomial of a graph $G$ of order $n$ is the polynomial $D(G,x)=sum_{i=1}^{n} d(G,i) x^{i}$, where $d(G,i)$ is the number of dominating sets of $G$ of size $i$. Every root of $D(G,x)$ is called a domination root of $G$. In this paper we state and prove formula for the domination polynomial of no...

Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$.

Let $G = (V, E)$ be a simple graph of order $n$. The total dominating set is a subset $D$ of $V$ that every vertex of $V$ is adjacent to some vertices of $D$. The total domination number of $G$ is equal to minimum cardinality of total dominating set in $G$ and denoted by $gamma_t(G)$. The total domination polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial $D_t(G,x)=sum d_t(G,i)$, where $d_t(G,i)$ is the numbe...

We introduce a domination polynomial of a graph G. The domination polynomial of a graph G of order n is the polynomial D(G, x) = ∑n i=γ(G) d(G, i)x , where d(G, i) is the number of dominating sets of G of size i, and γ(G) is the domination number of G. We obtain some properties of D(G, x) and its coefficients. Also we compute this polynomial for some specific graphs.
