Characterisation of forests with trivial game domination numbers

چکیده
In the Domination Game, two players, the Dominator and Staller, take turns adding vertices of a fixed graph to a set, at each turn increasing the number of vertices dominated by the set, until the final set A∗ dominates the whole graph. The Dominator plays to minimise the size of the set A∗ while the Staller plays to maximise it. A graph is D-trivial if when the Dominator plays first and both players play optimally, the set A∗ is a minimum dominating set of the graph. A graph is S-trivial if the same is true when the Staller plays first. We consider the problem of characterising D-trivial and S-trivial graphs. We give complete characterisations of D-trivial forests and of S-trivial forests. We also show that 2-connected D-trivial graphs cannot have large girth, and conjecture that the same holds without the connectivity condition.

Paired-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 کاملOn the Computational Complexity of the Domination Game
The domination game is played on an arbitrary graph $G$ by two players, Dominator and Staller. It is known that verifying whether the game domination number of a graph is bounded by a given integer $k$ is PSPACE-complete. On the other hand, it is showed in this paper that the problem can be solved for a graph $G$ in $mathcal O(Delta(G)cdot |V(G)|^k)$ time. In the special case when $k=3$ and the...
متن کاملDomination game on forests
In the domination game studied here, Dominator and Staller alternately choose a vertex of a graph G and take it into a set D. The number of vertices dominated by the set D must increase in each single turn and the game ends when D becomes a dominating set of G. Dominator aims to minimize whilst Staller aims to maximize the number of turns (or equivalently, the size of the dominating set D obtai...
متن کاملThe domination game played on unions of graphs
In a graph G, a vertex is said to dominate itself and its neighbors. The Domination game is a two player game played on a finite graph. Players alternate turns in choosing a vertex that dominates at least one new vertex. The game ends when no move is possible, that is when the set of chosen vertices forms a dominating set of the graph. One player (Dominator) aims to minimize the size of this se...
متن کاملDouble Roman domination and domatic numbers of graphs
A double Roman dominating function on a graph $G$ with vertex set $V(G)$ is defined in cite{bhh} as a function$f:V(G)rightarrow{0,1,2,3}$ having the property that if $f(v)=0$, then the vertex $v$ must have at least twoneighbors assigned 2 under $f$ or one neighbor $w$ with $f(w)=3$, and if $f(v)=1$, then the vertex $v$ must haveat least one neighbor $u$ with $f(u)ge 2$. The weight of a double R...
