A set D ⊆ V of a graph G = (V,E) is called a restrained dominating set of G if every vertex not in D is adjacent to a vertex in D and to a vertex in V \D. The MINIMUM RESTRAINED DOMINATION problem is to find a restrained dominating set of minimum cardinality. Given a graph G, and a positive integer k, the RESTRAINED DOMINATION DECISION problem is to decide whether G has a restrained dominating ...

For a graph G = (V,E), a set D ⊆ V is called a semitotal dominating set of G if D is a dominating set of G, and every vertex in D is within distance 2 of another vertex of D. The Minimum Semitotal Domination problem is to find a semitotal dominating set of minimum cardinality. Given a graph G and a positive integer k, the Semitotal Domination Decision problem is to decide whether G has a semito...

A paired dominating set $P$ is a with the additional property that has perfect matching. While maximum cardainality of minimal in graph $G$ called upper domination number $G$, denoted by $\Gamma(G)$, cardinality $\Gamma_{pr}(G)$. By Henning and Pradhan (2019), we know $\Gamma_{pr}(G)\leq 2\Gamma(G)$ for any without isolated vertices. We focus on graphs satisfying equality $\Gamma_{pr}(G)= 2\Gam...

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(ga...

A dominating set of vertices S of a graph G is connected if the subgraph G[S] is connected. Let c(G) denote the size of any smallest connected dominating set in G. A graph G is k-connected-critical if c(G)= k, but if any edge e ∈ E(Ḡ) is added to G, then c(G+ e) k − 1. This is a variation on the earlier concept of criticality of edge addition with respect to ordinary domination where a graph G ...

A set S of vertices in a graph G(V,E) is called a total dominating set if every vertex v ∈ V is adjacent to an element of S. A set S of vertices in a graph G(V,E) is called a total restrained dominating set if every vertex v ∈ V is adjacent to an element of S and every vertex of V − S is adjacent to a vertex in V − S. The total domination number of a graph G denoted by γt(G) is the minimum card...

The following fundamental result for the domination number γ(G) of a graph G was proved by Alon and Spencer, Arnautov, Lovász and Payan: γ(G) ≤ ln(δ + 1) + 1 δ + 1 n, where n is the order and δ is the minimum degree of vertices of G. A similar upper bound for the double domination number was found by Harant and Henning [On double domination in graphs. Discuss. Math. Graph Theory 25 (2005) 29–34...

We study the influence of edge subdivision on the convex domination number. We show that in general an edge subdivision can arbitrarily increase and arbitrarily decrease the convex domination number. We also find some bounds for unicyclic graphs and we investigate graphs G for which the convex domination number changes after subdivision of any edge in G.
