We propose a fast silent self-stabilizing building a k-independent dominating set, named FID. The convergence of protocol FID, is established for any computation under the unfair distributed scheduler. FID reaches a terminal (also legitimate) configuration in at most 4n+k rounds, where n is the network size. FID requires (k + 1)log(n+ 1) bits per node. keywords distributed computing, fault tole...

Problem statement: This study addressed the user’s perceived quality of service requirements in content distribution and investigated the role of QoS. Aware Dominating set based Semantic Overlay Network (QADSON) in surrogate server selection to achieve the specified quality of service. Approach: At first, we constructed the QoS aware dominating set based semantic overlay network which was a vir...

A connected dominating set in a graph is a subset of vertices such that every vertex is either in the subset or adjacent to a vertex in the subset and the subgraph induced by the subset is connected. A minimum-connected dominating set is such a vertex subset with minimum cardinality. An application in ad hoc wireless networks requires the study of the minimum-connected dominating set in unit-di...

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph $G$ is a function $f : V (G) to {0, 1, 2}$satisfying the condition that every vertex $u$ for which $f(u) = 0$ is adjacent to at least onevertex $v$ for which $f(v) = 2$. A Roman dominating function $f$ is called an outer-independentRoman dominating function (OIRDF) on $G$ if the set ${vin Vmid f(v)=0}$ is independent.The (outer-independent) Roman dom...

We handle in this paper three dominating clique problems, namely, the decision problem itself when one asks if there exists a dominating clique in a graph G and two optimization versions where one asks for a maximumand a minimum-size dominating clique, if any. For the three problems we propose optimal algorithms with provably worst-case upper bounds improving existing ones by (D. Kratsch and M....

Finding a dominating set of minimum cardinality is an NP-hard graph problem, even when the graph is bipartite. In this paper we are interested in solving the problem on graphs having a large independent set. Given a graph G with an independent set of size z, we show that the problem can be solved in time O∗(2n−z), where n is the number of vertices of G. As a consequence, our algorithm is able t...

Let S be a bipartite semigraph with |NXa(y)| ≥ 1 for every y ∈ Y . A vertex x ∈ X hyper dominates y ∈ Y if y ∈ Na(x) or y ∈ Na(NY a(x)). A subsetD ⊆ X is a hyper dominating set of S if every y ∈ Y is hyper dominated by a vertex ofD. A subsetD ⊆ X is called a minimal hyper dominating set of S if no proper subset of D is a hyper dominating set of S. The minimum cardinality of a minimal hyper domi...
