Let G = (V, E) be a graph. A set D ⊆ V is a total restrained dominating set of G if every vertex in V has a neighbor in D and every vertex in V −D has a neighbor in V −D. The cardinality of a minimum total restrained dominating set in G is the total restrained domination number of G. In this paper, we define the concept of total restrained domination edge critical graphs, find a lower bound for...

Given a semigraph, we can construct graphs Sa, Sca, Se and S1e. In the same pattern, we construct bipartite graphs CA(S), A(S), VE(S), CA(S) and A(S). We find the equality of domination parameters in the bipartite graphs constructed with the domination and total domination parameters of the graphs Sa and Sca. We introduce the domination and independence parameters for the bipartite semigraph. W...

Domination and its variations in graphs are now well studied. However, the original domination number of a graph continues to attract attention. Many bounds have been proven and results obtained for special classes of graphs such as cubic graphs and products of graphs. On the other hand, the decision problem to determine the domination number of a graph remains NP-hard even when restricted to c...

For a graphical property P and a graph G, we say that a subset S of the vertices of G is a P-set if the subgraph induced by S has the property P. Then the P-domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a dominating P-set and the P-independence number the maximum cardinality of a P-set. We show that several properties of domination, independent domination and acyclic domination hold for ...

Abstract. In this paper, connected domination in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs is introduced. The strong connected domination number of different classes of fuzzy graphs is obtained. An upper bound for the strong connected domination number of fuzzy graphs is obtained. Strong connected domination in fuzzy trees is studied. It is established that the set of fuzzy cut nodes of a fuzzy tree is a ...

A Roman domination function on a graph G = (V,E) is a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that every vertex u with f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v with f(v) = 2. The weight of a Roman domination function f is the value f(V (G)) = ∑ u∈V (G) f(u). The minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on a graph G is called the Roman domination number of G, denoted by...

A set S of vertices of a graph G = (V, E) is a dominating set if every vertex of V (G) \ S is adjacent to some vertex in S. The domination number γ (G) is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G. The domination subdivision number sdγ (G) is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided in order to increase the domination number. Velammal showed that for any tree T of order at lea...

Let G be a graph without isolated vertices. The total domination number of G is the minimum number of vertices that can dominate all vertices in G, and the paired domination number of G is the minimum number of vertices in a dominating set whose induced subgraph contains a perfect matching. This paper determines the total domination number and the paired domination number of the toroidal meshes...

We prove that for a triangulated plane graph it is NP-complete to determine its domination number and its power domination number.
