on the total domatic number of regular graphs
Authors
abstract
a set $s$ of vertices of a graph $g=(v,e)$ without isolated vertex is a {em total dominating set} if every vertex of $v(g)$ is adjacent to some vertex in $s$. the {em total domatic number} of a graph $g$ is the maximum number of total dominating sets into which the vertex set of $g$ can be partitioned. we show that the total domatic number of a random $r$-regular graph is almost surely at most $r-1$, and that for 3-regular random graphs, the total domatic number is almost surely equal to 2. we also give a lower bound on the total domatic number of a graph in terms of order, minimum degree and maximum degree. as a corollary, we obtain the result that the total domatic number of an $r$-regular graph is at least $r/(3ln(r))$.

The Domatic Number of Regular Graphs
The domatic number of a graph G is the maximum number of dominating sets into which the vertex set of G can be partitioned. We show that the domatic number of a random r-regular graph is almost surely at most r, and that for 3-regular random graphs, the domatic number is almost surely equal to 3. We also give a lower bound on the domatic number of a graph in terms of order, minimum degree and m...
full textThe domatic number of regular and almost regular graphs
The domatic number of a graph G, denoted dom(G), is the maximum possible cardinality of a family of disjoint sets of vertices of G, each set being a dominating set of G. It is well known that every graph without isolated vertices has dom(G) ≥ 2. For every k, it is known that there are graphs with minimum degree at least k and with dom(G) = 2. In this paper we prove that this is not the case if ...
full textThe signed domatic number of some regular graphs
Let G be a finite and simple graph with vertex set V (G), and let f : V (G) → {−1, 1} be a two-valued function. If ∑ x∈N[v] f (x) ≥ 1 for each v ∈ V (G), where N[v] is the closed neighborhood of v, then f is a signed dominating function on G. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of signed dominating functions on Gwith the property that ∑d i=1 fi(x) ≤ 1 for each x ∈ V (G), is called a signed dominating fa...
full textThe upper domatic number of powers of graphs
Let $A$ and $B$ be two disjoint subsets of the vertex set $V$ of a graph $G$. The set $A$ is said to dominate $B$, denoted by $A rightarrow B$, if for every vertex $u in B$ there exists a vertex $v in A$ such that $uv in E(G)$. For any graph $G$, a partition $pi = {V_1,$ $V_2,$ $ldots,$ $V_p}$ of the vertex set $V$ is an textit{upper domatic partition} if $V_i rightarrow V_j$ or $V_j rightarrow...
full textNew 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...
full textCubic graphs with total domatic number at least two
Let G be a graph. A total dominating set of G is a set S of vertices of G such that every vertex is adjacent to at least one vertex in S. The total domatic number of a graph is the maximum number of total dominating sets which partition the vertex set of G. In this paper we would like to characterize the cubic graphs with total domatic number at least two.
