The cardinality of a maximum minimal dominating set of a graph is called its upper domination number. The problem of computing this number is generally NP-hard but can be solved in polynomial time in some restricted graph classes. In this work, we consider the complexity and approximability of the weighted version of the problem in two special graph classes: planar bipartite, split. We also pro...

For any $k in mathbb{N}$, the $k$-subdivision of graph $G$ is a simple graph $G^{frac{1}{k}}$, which is constructed by replacing each edge of $G$ with a path of length $k$. In [Moharram N. Iradmusa, On colorings of graph fractional powers, Discrete Math., (310) 2010, No. 10-11, 1551-1556] the $m$th power of the $n$-subdivision of $G$ has been introduced as a fractional power of $G$, denoted by ...

Let K n denote the Cartesian product Kn Kn Kn, where Kn is the complete graph on n vertices. We show that the domination number of K n

In this paper, we present new upper bounds for the global domination and Roman domination numbers and also prove that these results are asymptotically best possible. Moreover, we give upper bounds for the restrained domination and total restrained domination numbers for large classes of graphs, and show that, for almost all graphs, the restrained domination number is equal to the domination num...

 Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $M$ be an $R$-module with $T(M)$ as subset, the set of torsion elements. The total graph of the module denoted by $T(Gamma(M))$, is the (undirected) graph with all elements of $M$ as vertices, and for distinct elements $n,m in M$, the vertices $n$ and $m$ are adjacent if and only if $n+m in T(M)$. In this paper we study the domination number of $T(Gamma(M))$ a...

Two new domination parameters for a connected graph G: the weakly convex domination number of G and the convex domination number of G are introduced. Relations between these parameters and the other domination parameters are derived. In particular, we study for which cubic graphs the convex domination number equals the connected domination number.
