In this paper we compute for paths and cycles certain graph domination invariants like locating domination number, differentiating domination number, global alliance number etc., We also do some comparison analysis of certain parameters defined by combining the domination measures and the second smallest eigen value of the Laplacian matrix of all connected graphs of order 4.While discussing app...

‎A total dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set $D$ of vertices of $G$ such that every vertex of $G$ has a neighbor in $D$‎. ‎The total domination number of a graph $G$‎, ‎denoted by $gamma_t(G)$‎, ‎is~the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set of $G$‎. ‎Chellali and Haynes [Total and paired-domination numbers of a tree, AKCE International ournal of Graphs and Combinatorics 1 (2004)‎, ‎6...

Let $G$ be a simple graph with vertex set $V$. A double Roman dominating function (DRDF) on $G$ is a function $f:Vrightarrow{0,1,2,3}$ satisfying that if $f(v)=0$, then the vertex $v$ must be adjacent to at least two vertices assigned $2$ or one vertex assigned $3$ under $f$, whereas if $f(v)=1$, then the vertex $v$ must be adjacent to at least one vertex assigned $2$ or $3$. The weight of a DR...

A {em weak signed Roman dominating function} (WSRDF) of a graph $G$ with vertex set $V(G)$ is defined as afunction $f:V(G)rightarrow{-1,1,2}$ having the property that $sum_{xin N[v]}f(x)ge 1$ for each $vin V(G)$, where $N[v]$ is theclosed neighborhood of $v$. The weight of a WSRDF is the sum of its function values over all vertices.The weak signed Roman domination number of $G...

Given a positive integer k, a k-dominating set in a graph G is a set of vertices such that every vertex not in the set has at least k neighbors in the set. A total k-dominating set, also known as a k-tuple total dominating set, is a set of vertices such that every vertex of the graph has at least k neighbors in the set. The problems of finding the minimum size of a k-dominating, resp. total k-d...

For a simple graph G, the independent domination number i(G) is defined to be the minimum cardinality among all maximal independent sets of vertices of G. We establish upper bounds for the independent domination number of K1,k+1-free graphs, as functions of the order, size and k. Also we present a lower bound for the size of connected graphs with given order and value of independent domination ...

In a graph, a vertex is said to dominate itself and all its neighbors. A double dominating set of a graph G is a subset of vertices that dominates every vertex of G at least twice. The double domination number γ×2(G) is the minimum cardinality of a double dominating set of G. A graph G without isolated vertices is called edge removal critical with respect to double domination, or just γ×2-criti...

Broadcast domination assigns an integer value f(u) 0 to each vertex u of a given graph, such that every vertex u with f(u) = 0 is within distance f(v) from a vertex v with f(v) > 0. We can regard the vertices v with f(v) > 0 as broadcast stations, each having a transmission power that might be di erent from the powers of other stations. The optimal broadcast domination problem seeks to minimize...
