We provide self-stabilizing algorithms to obtain and maintain a maximal matching, maximal independent set or minimal dominating set in a given system graph. They converge in linear rounds under a distributed or synchronous daemon. They can be implemented in an ad hoc network by piggy-backing on the beacon messages that nodes already use.

in this paper, the maximal dissipative extensions of a symmetric singular 1d discrete hamiltonian operator with maximal deficiency indices (2,2) (in limit-circle cases at ±∞) and acting in the hilbert space ℓ_{ω}²(z;c²) (z:={0,±1,±2,...}) are considered. we consider two classes dissipative operators with separated boundary conditions both at -∞ and ∞. for each of these cases we establish a self...

Abstract: Let G=(V,E) be a graph and let f:V(G)→{0,1,2} be a function‎. ‎A vertex v is protected with respect to f‎, ‎if f(v)>0 or f(v)=0 and v is adjacent to a vertex of positive weight‎. ‎The function f is a co-Roman dominating function‎, ‎abbreviated CRDF if‎: ‎(i) every vertex in V is protected‎, ‎and (ii) each u∈V with positive weight has a neighbor v∈V with f(v)=0 such that the func...

Given a coloring of the vertices of a graph G, we say a subgraph is rainbow if its vertices receive distinct colors. For graph F , we define the F -upper chromatic number of G as the maximum number of colors that can be used to color the vertices of G such that there is no rainbow copy of F . We present some results on this parameter for certain graph classes. The focus is on the case that F is...

For a positive integer k, a total {k}-dominating function of a graph G without isolated vertices is a function f from the vertex set V (G) to the set {0, 1, 2, . . . , k} such that for any vertex v ∈ V (G), the condition ∑ u∈N(v) f(u) ≥ k is fulfilled, where N(v) is the open neighborhood of v. The weight of a total {k}-dominating function f is the value ω(f) = ∑ v∈V f(v). The total {k}-dominati...

Let C = (C1, . . . , Cm) be a system of sets. The range of an injective partial choice function from C is called a rainbow set, and is also said to be multicolored by C. If φ is such a partial choice function and i ∈ dom(φ) we say that Ci colors φ(i) in the rainbow set. If the elements of Ci are sets then a rainbow set is said to be a (partial) rainbow matching if its range is a matching, namel...

A k-dominating set is a set D k V such that every vertex i 2 V nD k has at least k i neighbours in D k. The k-domination number k (G) of G is the cardinality of a smallest k-dominating set of G. For k 1 = ::: = kn = 1, k-domination corresponds to the usual concept of domination. Our approach yields an improvement of an upper bound for the domination number found then the notion of k-dominating ...

Let G = (V,E) be a simple graph. For any real function g : V −→ R and a subset S ⊆ V , we write g(S) = ∑ v∈S g(v). A function f : V −→ [0, 1] is said to be a fractional dominating function (FDF ) of G if f(N [v]) ≥ 1 holds for every vertex v ∈ V (G). The fractional domination number γf (G) of G is defined as γf (G) = min{f(V )|f is an FDF of G }. The fractional total dominating function f is de...
