New results on upper domatic number of graphs

Authors

Abstract:

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 upper bound in terms of clique number. Further, we discuss the upper domatic number of certain graph classes including unicyclic graphs and power graphs of paths and cycles.

The 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...

Upper bounds on the signed total (k, k)-domatic number of graphs

Let G be a graph with vertex set V (G), and let f : V (G) −→ {−1, 1} be a two-valued function. If k ≥ 1 is an integer and ∑ x∈N(v) f(x) ≥ k for each v ∈ V (G), where N(v) is the neighborhood of v, then f is a signed total k-dominating function on G. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of distinct signed total k-dominating functions on G with the property that ∑d i=1 fi(x) ≤ k for each x ∈ V (G), is call...

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...

Chromatic Transversal Domatic Number of Graphs

The chromatic number χ(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of colours required to colour the vertices of G in such a way that no two adjacent vertices of G receive the same colour. A partition of V into χ(G) independent sets (called colour classes) is said to be a χpartition of G. A set S ⊆ V is called a dominating set of G if every vertex in V − S is adjacent to a vertex in S. A dominating s...
