Let G = (V,E) be a simple undirected graph, and k be a positive integer. A k-dominating set of G is a set of vertices S ⊆ V satisfying that every vertex in V \ S is adjacent to at least k vertices in S. A k-domatic partition of G is a partition of V into k-dominating sets. The k-domatic number of G is the maximum number of k-dominating sets contained in a k-domatic partition of G. In this paper...

Let G = (V,E) be a simple and undirected graph. For some integer k > 1, a set D ⊆ V is said to be a k-dominating set in G if every vertex v of G outside D has at least k neighbors in D. Furthermore, for some real number α with 0 < α 6 1, a set D ⊆ V is called an α-dominating set in G if every vertex v of G outside D has at least α×dv neighbors in D, where dv is the degree of v in G. The cardina...

A edge 2-rainbow dominating function (E2RDF) of a graph G is a ‎function f from the edge set E(G) to the set of all subsets‎ ‎of the set {1,2} such that for any edge.......................

A set S is a 1-movable strong resolving hop dominating of G if for every v ∈ S, either S\{v} or there exists vertex u (V (G)\S)∩NG(v) such that (S \ {v}) ∩ {u} G. The minimum cardinality denoted by γ 1 msRh(G). In this paper, we obtained the corresponding parameter in graphs resulting from join, corona and lexicographic product two graphs. Specifically, characterize sets these types determine b...

Constructing a connected dominating set as the virtual backbone plays an important role in wireless networks. In this paper, we propose two novel approximate algorithms for dominating set and connected dominating set in wireless networks, respectively. Both of the algorithms are based on edge dominating capability which is a novel notion proposed in this paper. Simulations show that each of pro...

A set of vertices is a dominating set in a graph if every vertex not in the dominating set is adjacent to one or more vertices in the dominating set. A dominating clique is a dominating set that induces a complete subgraph. Forbidden subgraph conditions sufficient to imply the existence of a dominating clique are given. For certain classes of graphs, a polynomial algorithm is given for finding ...

A subset S of vertices in a graph G is called a geodetic set if every vertex not in S lies on a shortest path between two vertices from S. A subset D of vertices in G is called dominating set if every vertex not in D has at least one neighbor in D. A geodetic dominating set S is both a geodetic and a dominating set. The geodetic (domination, geodetic domination) number g(G)(γ(G), γg(G)) of G is...

‎For any integer $kgeq 1$‎, ‎a set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a $k$-‎tuple total dominating set of $G$ if any vertex‎ ‎of $G$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in $S$‎, ‎and any vertex‎ ‎of $V-S$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in $V-S$‎. ‎The minimum number of vertices of such a set‎ ‎in $G$ we call the $k$-tuple total restrained domination number of $G$‎. ‎The maximum num...

A dominating set S in a graph G is a tree dominating set of G if the subgraph induced by S is a tree. The tree domatic number of G is the maximum number of pairwise disjoint tree dominating sets in V (G). First, some exact values of and sharp bounds for the tree domatic number are given. Then, we establish a sharp lower bound for the number of edges in a connected graph of given order and given...

For more than 40 years Branch & Reduce exponential-time backtracking algorithms have been among the most common tools used for finding exact solutions of NP-hard problems. Despite of that, the way to analyze such recursive algorithms is still far from producing tight worstcase running time bounds. Motivated by this we use an approach, that we call “Measure & Conquer”, as an attempt to step beyo...
