Given a graph $$G=(V,E)$$ and an integer k, the Minimum Membership Dominating Set (MMDS) problem seeks to find dominating set $$S \subseteq V$$ of G such that for each $$v \in , $$\vert N[v] \cap S\vert $$ is at most k. We investigate parameterized complexity obtain following results MMDS problem. First, we show NP-hard even on planar bipartite graphs. Next, W[1]-hard parameter pathwidth (and t...

abstract. let $l$ be a lattice with the least element $0$. an element $xin l$ is a zero divisor if $xwedge y=0$ for some $yin l^*=lsetminus left{0right}$. the set of all zero divisors is denoted by $z(l)$. we associate a simple graph $gamma(l)$ to $l$ with vertex set $z(l)^*=z(l)setminus left{0right}$, the set of non-zero zero divisors of $l$ and distinct $x,yin z(l)^*$ are adjacent if and only...

Let F1, F2, . . . , Fk be graphs with the same vertex set V . A subset S ⊆ V is a factor dominating set if in every Fi every vertex not in S is adjacent to a vertex in S, and a factor total dominating set if in every Fi every vertex in V is adjacent to a vertex in S. The cardinality of a smallest such set is the factor (total) domination number. We investigate bounds on the factor (total) domin...

Given a graph G together with a capacity function c : V (G) → N, we call S ⊆ V (G) a capacitated dominating set if there exists a mapping f : (V (G) \ S) → S which maps every vertex in (V (G) \S) to one of its neighbors such that the total number of vertices mapped by f to any vertex v ∈ S does not exceed c(v). In the Planar Capacitated Dominating Set problem we are given a planar graph G, a ca...
