A dominating set D of a graph G is a subset of V (G) such that for every vertex v ∈ V (G), either v ∈ D or there exists a vertex u ∈ D that is adjacent to v in G. Dominating sets of small cardinality are of interest. A connected dominating set C of a graph G is a dominating set of G such that the subgraph induced by the vertices of C in G is connected. A weakly-connected dominating set W of a g...

Biró, Hujter, and Tuza introduced the concept of H-graphs (1992), intersection graphs of connected subgraphs of a subdivision of a graph H. They naturally generalize many important classes of graphs, e.g., interval graphs and circular-arc graphs. Our paper is the first study of the recognition and dominating set problems of this large collection of intersection classes of graphs. We negatively ...

In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of an efficient 2-dominating set in a class of circulant graphs has been obtained and for those circulant graphs, an upper bound for the 2domination number is also obtained. For the circulant graphs Cir(n,A), where A = {1, 2, . . . , x, n − 1, n − 2, . . . , n − x} and x ≤ bn−1 2 c, the perfect 2-tuple total domination number...

This work deals with the domination numbers of generalized de Bruijn digraphs and generalized Kautz digraphs. Dominating sets for digraphs are not familiar compared with dominating sets for undirected graphs. Whereas dominating sets for digraphs have more applications than those for undirected graphs. We construct dominating sets of generalized de Bruijn digraphs where obtained dominating sets ...

A set D of vertices in a graph G is a dominating set if every vertex in V −D is adjacent to some vertex in D. The domination number γ(G) is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G. A dominating set D of a graph G is total dominating set if the induced subgraph 〈D〉 has no isolated vertices. In this paper, we introduce the total co-independent domination in graphs, exact value for some s...

A dominating set for a graph G is a subset D of V such that every vertex not in D is adjacent to at least one member of D. This paper deals with some of the graphs having unique minimum dominating sets. We also find a unique minimum dominating sets for block graphs and maximum graphs.

An upper dominating set in a graph is a minimal (with respect to set inclusion) dominating set of maximum cardinality. The problem of finding an upper dominating set is generally NP-hard, but can be solved in polynomial time in some restricted graph classes, such as P4-free graphs or 2K2-free graphs. For classes defined by finitely many forbidden induced subgraphs, the boundary separating diffi...

We study the approximation complexity of the Minimum Edge Dominating Set problem in everywhere ǫ-dense and average ǭ-dense graphs. More precisely, we consider the computational complexity of approximating a generalization of the Minimum Edge Dominating Set problem, the so called Minimum Subset Edge Dominating Set problem. As a direct result, we obtain for the special case of the Minimum Edge Do...

A {em Roman dominating function} on a graph $G$ is a function $f:V(G)rightarrow {0,1,2}$ satisfying the condition that every vertex $u$ for which $f(u)=0$ is adjacent to at least one vertex $v$ for which $f(v)=2$. A {em total Roman dominating function} is a Roman dominating function with the additional property that the subgraph of $G$ induced by the set of all vertices of positive weight has n...

Given a positive integer k, a k-dominating set in a graph G is a set of vertices such that every vertex not in the set has at least k neighbors in the set. A total k-dominating set, also known as a k-tuple total dominating set, is a set of vertices such that every vertex of the graph has at least k neighbors in the set. The problems of finding the minimum size of a k-dominating, resp. total k-d...
