Clique-node and closed neighborhood matrices of circular interval graphs are matrices. The stable set polytope the dominating on these therefore closely related to packing covering polyhedron Eisenbrand et al. (2008) take advantage this relationship propose a complete linear description graphs. In paper we follow similar ideas obtain same class As in case, our results established for larger pol...

Many authors studied cooperative games that arise from variants of dominating set games on graphs. In wireless networks, the connected dominating set is used to reduce routing table size and communication cost. In this paper, we introduce a connected dominating set game to model the cost allocation problem arising from a connected dominating set on a given graph and study its core. In addition,...

Let G = (V, E) be a graph. Set D ⊆ V (G) is a total outerconnected dominating set of G if D is a total dominating set in G and G[V (G)−D] is connected. The total outer-connected domination number of G, denoted by γtc(G), is the smallest cardinality of a total outer-connected dominating set of G. We show that if T is a tree of order n, then γtc(T ) ≥ d 2n 3 e. Moreover, we constructively charact...

Given a graph, a connected dominating set is a subset of vertices such that every vertex is either in the subset or adjacent to a vertex in the subset and the subgraph induced by the subset is connected.A minimum connected dominating set is such a vertex subset with minimum cardinality. In this paper, we present a new one-step greedy approximation with performance ratio ln + 2 where is the maxi...

Let G = (V; E) be a /nite and undirected graph without loops and multiple edges. An edge is said to dominate itself and any edge adjacent to it. A subset D of E is called a perfect edge dominating set if every edge of E \ D is dominated by exactly one edge in D and an e cient edge dominating set if every edge of E is dominated by exactly one edge in D. The perfect (e cient) edge domination prob...

For a given graph G = (V,E), a set D ⊆ V (G) is said to be an outerconnected dominating set if D is dominating and the graph G−D is connected. The outer-connected domination number of a graph G, denoted by γ̃c(G), is the cardinality of a minimum outer-connected dominating set of G. We study several properties of outer-connected dominating sets and give some bounds on the outer-connected dominati...

We present an O∗(1.3160n)-time algorithm for the edge dominating set problem in an n-vertex graph, which improves previous exact algorithms for this problem. The algorithm is analyzed by using the “Measure and Conquer method.” We design new branching rules based on conceptually simple local structures, called “clique-producing vertices/cycles,” which significantly simplify the algorithm and its...
