The domination number γ(G), the independent domination number ι(G), the connected domination number γc(G), and the paired domination number γp(G) of a graph G (without isolated vertices, if necessary) are related by the simple inequalities γ(G) ≤ ι(G), γ(G) ≤ γc(G), and γ(G) ≤ γp(G). Very little is known about the graphs that satisfy one of these inequalities with equality. I.E. Zverovich and V...

We briefly review known results about the signed edge domination number of graphs. In the case of bipartite graphs, the signed edge domination number can be viewed in terms of its bi-adjacency matrix. This motivates the introduction of the signed domination number of a (0, 1)-matrix. We investigate the signed domination number for various classes of (0, 1)-matrices, in particular for regular an...

The paired bondage number (total restrained bondage number, independent bondage number, k-rainbow bondage number) of a graph G, is the minimum number of edges whose removal from G results in a graph with larger paired domination number (respectively, total restrained domination number, independent domination number, k-rainbow domination number). In this paper we show that the decision problems ...

Let G = (V, E) be a graph. A subset De of V is said to an equitable dominating set if for every v ∈ \ there exists u such that uv E and |deg(u) − deg(v)| ≤ 1, where, deg(u) deg(v) denote the degree vertices respectively. An with minimum cardinality called its domination number it denoted by γe. The problem finding in general graphs NP-complete. In this paper, we give linear time algorithm deter...

MacGillivray and Seyffarth (J. Graph Theory 22 (1996), 213–229) proved that planar graphs of diameter three have domination number at most ten. Recently it was shown (J. Graph Theory 40 (2002), 1–25) that a planar graph of diameter three and of radius two has domination number at most six while every sufficiently large planar graph of diameter three has domination number at most seven. In this ...

MacGillivray and Seyffarth (J. Graph Theory 22 (1996), 213–229) proved that planar graphs of diameter two have domination number at most three and planar graphs of diameter three have domination number at most ten. They also give examples of planar graphs of diameter four having arbitrarily large domination numbers. In this paper we improve on their results. We prove that there is in fact a uni...

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 is ⌈

The domination number of a graph G = (V,E) is the minimum cardinality of any subset S ⊂ V such that every vertex in V is in S or adjacent to an element of S. Finding the domination numbers of m by n grids was an open problem for nearly 30 years and was finally solved in 2011 by Goncalves, Pinlou, Rao, and Thomassé. Many variants of domination number on graphs, such as double domination number a...
