We present the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Minimum Independent Dominating Set problem in graphs of polynomially bounded growth. Graphs of bounded growth are used to characterize wireless communication networks, and this class of graph includes many models known from the literature, e.g. (Quasi) Unit Disk Graphs. An independent dominating set is a dominating set in ...

For a graph $G$ let $gamma (G)$ be its domination number. We define a graph G to be (i) a hypo-efficient domination graph (or a hypo-$mathcal{ED}$ graph) if $G$ has no efficient dominating set (EDS) but every graph formed by removing a single vertex from $G$ has at least one EDS, and (ii) a hypo-unique domination graph (a hypo-$mathcal{UD}$ graph) if $G$ has at least two minimum dominating sets...

An independent set C of vertices in a graph is an efficient dominating set (or perfect code) when each vertex not in C is adjacent to exactly one vertex in C. An E-chain is a countable family of nested graphs, each of which has an efficient dominating set. The Hamming codes in the n-cubes provide a classical example of E-chains. We give a constructing tool to produce E-chains of Cayley graphs. ...

A set D of a graph G = (V,E) is a dominating set if every vertex in V −D is adjacent to some vertex in D. The domination number γ(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set. A dominating set D is called a complementary tree dominating set if the induced subgraph < V −D > is a tree. The minimum cardinality of a complementary tree dominating set is called the complementary tree domina...

We make an attempt to understand the dominating set counting problem in graph classes from the viewpoint of polynomial-time computability. We give polynomial-time algorithms to count the number of dominating sets (and minimum dominating sets) in interval graphs and trapezoid graphs. They are based on dynamic programming. With the help of dynamic update on a binary tree, we further reduce the ti...

let g be a fixed element of a finite group g. we introduce the g-noncommuting graph of g whose vertex set is whole elements of the group g and two vertices x,y are adjacent whenever [x,y] g  and  [y,x] g. we denote this graph by . in this paper, we present some graph theoretical properties of g-noncommuting graph. specially, we investigate about its planarity and regularity, its clique number a...

For a connected graph G, a set of vertices W in G is called a Steiner dominating set if W is both a Steiner set and a dominating set. The minimum cardinality of a Steiner dominating set of G is its Steiner domination numberand is denoted by ) (G s  . In this paper, it is studied that how the Steiner domination number is affected by adding a single edge to paths, complete graphs, cycles, star a...

It is shown that in star-free graphs the maximum independent set problem, the minimum dominating set problem and the minimum independent dominating set problem are approximable up to constant factor by any maximal independent set.

A dominating set D in a graph is a subset of its vertex set such that each vertex is either in D or has a neighbour in D. In this paper, we are interested in an output-sensitive enumeration algorithm of (inclusionwise) minimal dominating sets in graphs, called Dom problem. It was known that this problem can be polynomially reduced to the well known Transversal problem in hypergraphs. We show th...
