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...

In this paper, we continue the study of power domination in graphs (see SIAM J. Discrete Math. 15 (2002), 519–529; SIAM J. Discrete Math. 22 (2008), 554–567; SIAM J. Discrete Math. 23 (2009), 1382–1399). Power domination in graphs was birthed from the problem of monitoring an electric power system by placing as few measurement devices in the system as possible. A set of vertices is defined to b...

For a simple graph G, the independent domination number i(G) is defined to be the minimum cardinality among all maximal independent sets of vertices of G. We establish upper bounds for the independent domination number of K1,k+1-free graphs, as functions of the order, size and k. Also we present a lower bound for the size of connected graphs with given order and value of independent domination ...

Let k be a positive integer, and let G be a simple graph with vertex set V (G). A k-distance Roman dominating function on G is a labeling f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} such that for every vertex with label 0, there is a vertex with label 2 at distance at most k from each other. The weight of a k-distance Roman dominating function f is the value ω(f) = ∑ v∈V f(v). The k-distance Roman domination number ...

The domination number of a graph G = (V,E) is the minimum size of a dominating set U ⊆ V , which satisfies that every vertex in V \U is adjacent to at least one vertex in U . The notion of a problem kernel refers to a polynomial time algorithm that achieves some provable reduction of the input size. Given a graph G whose domination number is k, the objective is to design a polynomial time algor...

a subset $s$ of vertices in a graph $g$ is called a geodetic set if every vertex not in $s$ lies on a shortest path between two vertices from $s$‎. ‎a subset $d$ of vertices in $g$ is called dominating set if every vertex not in $d$ has at least one neighbor in $d$‎. ‎a geodetic dominating set $s$ is both a geodetic and a dominating set‎. ‎the geodetic (domination‎, ‎geodetic domination) number...

A graph G with no isolated vertex is total domination vertex critical if for any vertex v of G that is not adjacent to a vertex of degree one, the total domination number of G− v is less than the total domination number of G. These graphs we call γt-critical. If such a graph G has total domination number k, we call it k-γt-critical. We characterize the connected graphs with minimum degree one t...

Consider a simple connected fuzzy graph (FG) G and consider an ordered subset H = {(u1, σ(u1)), (u2, σ(u2)), …(uk, σ(uk))}, |H| ≥ 2 of graph; then, the representation σ − is k-tuple with regard to G. If any two elements do not have distinct H, then this called resolving set (FRS) smallest cardinality known as number (FRN) it denoted by Fr(G). Similarly, S such that for u∈S, ∃v∈V S, dominating o...
