A set S ⊆ V of vertices in a graph G = (V,E) is called a dominating set if every vertex in V −S is adjacent to a vertex in S. A dominating set which intersects every maximum independent set in G is called an independent transversal dominating set. The minimum cardinality of an independent transversal dominating set is called the independent transversal domination number of G and is denoted by γ...

A set S of vertices in a graph G is a total dominating set of G if every vertex of G is adjacent to some vertex in S. In this paper, we offer a survey of selected recent results on total domination in graphs. c © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Let G = (V,E) be a graph and let S & V. The set S is a dominating set of G is every vertex of V-S is adjacent to a vertex of S. A vertex v of G is called S-perfect if \N[t~]nsi = 1 where N[v] denotes the closed neighborhood of v. The set S is defined to be a perfect neighborhood set of G if every vertex of G is S-perfect or adjacent with an S-perfect vertex. We prove that for all graphs G, O(G)...

For each vertex v in a graph G, let there be associated a subgraph Hv of G. The vertex v is said to dominate Hv as well as dominate each vertex and edge of Hv. A set S of vertices of G is called a full dominating set if every vertex of G is dominated by some vertex of S, as is every edge of G. The minimum cardinality of a full dominating set of G is its full domination number γFH(G). A full dom...

A subset S of vertices in a graph G is a global total dominating set, or just GTDS, if S is a total dominating set of both G and G. The global total domination number γgt(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of a GTDS of G. We present bounds for the global total domination number in graphs.

For a graph G, its k-rainbow independent domination number, written as γrik(G), is defined the cardinality of minimum set consisting k vertex-disjoint sets V1,V2,…,Vk such that every vertex in V0=V(G)\(∪i=1kVi) has neighbor Vi for all i∈{1,2,…,k}. This invariant was proposed by Kraner Šumenjak, Rall and Tepeh (in Applied Mathematics Computation 333(15), 2018: 353–361), which aims to compute num...

A rainbow path in an edge coloured graph is a path in which no two edges are coloured the same. A rainbow colouring of a connected graph G is a colouring of the edges of G such that every pair of vertices in G is connected by at least one rainbow path. The minimum number of colours required to rainbow colour G is called its rainbow connection number. Between them, Chakraborty et al. [J. Comb. O...
