A broadcast domination on a graph assigns an integer value f(u) ≥ 0 to each vertex u, such that every vertex u with f(u) = 0 is within distance f(v) from a vertex v with f(v) > 0. The Broadcast Domination problem seeks to compute a broadcast domination where the sum of the assigned values is minimized. We show that Broadcast Domination can be solved in linear time on block graphs. For general g...

Two new domination parameters for a connected graph G: the weakly convex domination number of G and the convex domination number of G are introduced. Relations between these parameters and the other domination parameters are derived. In particular, we study for which cubic graphs the convex domination number equals the connected domination number.

A connected domination set of a graph is a set of vertices such that every vertex not in is adjacent to and the induced subgraph of is connected. The minimum connected domination set of a graph is the connected domination set with the minimum number of vertices. In this paper, we propose parallel algorithms for finding the minimum connected domination set of interval graphs and circular-arc gra...

The concept of 2-rainbow domination of a graph G coincides with the ordinary domination of the prism G K2. In this paper, we show that the problem of deciding if a graph has a 2-rainbow dominating function of a given weight is NP-complete even when restricted to bipartite graphs or chordal graphs. Exact values of 2-rainbow domination numbers of several classes of graphs are found, and it is sho...

We generalize the notion of Jacobson graphs into $n$-array columns called $n$-array Jacobson graphs and determine their connectivities and diameters. Also, we will study forbidden structures of these graphs and determine when an $n$-array Jacobson graph is planar, outer planar, projective, perfect or domination perfect.

In this paper we introduce the concept of strong total domination in fuzzy graphs. We determine the strong total domination number for several classes of fuzzy graphs. A lower bound and an upper bound for the strong total domination number in terms of strong domination number is obtained. Strong total domination in fuzzy trees is studied. A necessary and sufficient condition for the set of fuzz...

We characterize the graphs which achieve the maximum value of the spectral radius of the adjacency matrix in the sets of all graphs with a given domination number and graphs with no isolated vertices and a given domination number. AMS Classification: 05C35, 05C50, 05C69

For a graph G, a function f : V (G) ! f?1; 0; +1g is called a minus-domination function of G if the closed neighborhood of each vertex of G contains strictly more

In this paper, we continue the study of neighborhood total domination in graphs first studied by Arumugam and Sivagnanam [S. Arumugam, C. Sivagnanam, Neighborhood total domination in graphs, Opuscula Math. 31 (2011) 519–531]. A neighborhood total dominating set, abbreviated NTD-set, in a graph G is a dominating set S in G with the property that the subgraph induced by the open neighborhood of t...

For a graph G a subset D of the vertex set of G is a k-dominating set if every vertex not in D has at least k neighbors in D. The k-domination number γk(G) is the minimum cardinality among the k-dominating sets of G. Note that the 1-domination number γ1(G) is the usual domination number γ(G). Fink and Jacobson showed in 1985 that the inequality γk(G) ≥ γ(G) + k − 2 is valid for every connected ...
