A class of graphs is said to be biclique-free if there is an integer t such that no graph in the class contains Kt,t as a subgraph. Large families of graph classes, such as any nowhere dense class of graphs or d-degenerate graphs, are biclique-free. We show that various domination problems are fixed-parameter tractable on biclique-free classes of graphs, when parameterizing by both solution siz...

Let G be a connected graph with vertex set V (G). A set S of vertices in G is called a weakly connected dominating set of G if (i) S is a dominating set of G and (ii) the graph obtained from G by removing all edges joining two vertices in V (G) \ S is connected. A weakly connected dominating set S of G is said to be minimum or a γw-set if |S| is minimum among all weakly connected dominating set...

We study online versions ofMinimum Dominating Set Min imum Connected Dominating Set andMinimum Independent Dom inating Set where we restrict the input graphs to belong to a certain graph class after each insertion step We show that straight forward and easy to implement online strategies achieve optimum or nearly optimum competitive ratios for trees unit disk graphs and bounded degree graphs fo...

Let G be a fuzzy graph. A subset D of V is said to be Fuzzy dominating set if every vertex u ∈ V (G) there exists a vertex v ∈ V −D such that uv ∈ E(G) and μ(uv) 6 σ(u) ∧ σ(v). The minimum Cardinality of fuzzy dominating set is denoted by γf . A graph G is said to be fuzzy excellent if every vertex of G belongs to γf -sets of G. In this paper, we give a construction to imbedded non-excellent fu...

An independent set of three vertices is called an asteroidal triple if between each pair in the triple there exists a path that avoids the neighborhood of the third. A graph is asteroidal triplefree (AT-free) if it contains no asteroidal triple. The motivation for this investigation is provided, in part, by the fact that AT-free graphs offer a common generalization of interval, permutation, tra...

Let G = (V,E) be a connected graph, An equitable dominating S of a graph G is called the neighborhood connected equitable dominating set (nced-set) if the induced subgraph 〈Ne(S)〉 is connected The minimum cardinality of a nced-set of G is called the neighborhood connected equitable domination number of G and is denoted by γnce(G). In this paper we initiate a study of this parameter. For any gra...

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. A locating-total dominating set of G is a total dominating set D of G with the additional property that every two distinct vertices outside D have distinct neighbors in D; that is, for distinct vertices u and v outside D, N(u) ∩D 6= N(v) ∩D where N(u) denotes the open neighborhood of...
