An edge dominating set D of graph G = (V; E) is a set of edges such that every edge not in D is adjacent to at least an edge in D. In this paper we develop polynomial time algorithms for nding a minimum edge dominating set for a cotriangulated graph and a bipartite permutation graph.

Many prominent applications in wireless sensor networks require collected information has to be routed to end nodes in an efficient manner. In general, Connected Dominating Set (CDS) based routing is a promising approach for enhancing the routing efficiency in sensor networks. Our idea is to generate a quality based CDS algorithm, which can resolve the standing issues like cardinality, risk fac...

Connected Dominating Set (CDS) has been a well known approach for constructing a virtual backbone to alleviate the broadcasting storm in wireless networks. Previous literature modeled the wireless network in a 2-dimensional plane and looked for the approximated Minimum CDS (MCDS) distributed or centralized to construct the virtual backbone of the wireless network. However, in some real situatio...

For any edge of an isolate free graph , , 〈 〉 is the subgraph induced by the vertices adjacent to u and v in G. We say that an edge x, edominates an edge y if ∈ 〈 〉 . A set ⊆ is an Edge-Edge Dominating Set (EED-set) if every edge in is e-dominated by an edge in L. The edgeedge domination number is the cardinality of a minimum EED-set. We find the relation ship between the new parameter and some...
