In this paper, we consider graphs having a unique minimum independent dominating set. We first discuss the effects of deleting a vertex, or the closed neighborhood of a vertex, from such graphs. We then discuss five operations which, in certain circumstances, can be used to combine two graphs, each having a unique minimum independent dominating set, to produce a new graph also having a unique m...

For a simple graph G=(V,E) with no isolated vertices, total Roman {3}-dominating function(TR3DF) on G is function f:V(G)→{0,1,2,3} having the property that (i) ∑w∈N(v)f(w)≥3 if f(v)=0; (ii) ∑w∈N(v)f(w)≥2 f(v)=1; and (iii) every vertex v f(v)≠0 has neighbor u f(u)≠0 for v∈V(G). The weight of TR3DF f sum f(V)=∑v∈V(G)f(v) minimum called {3}-domination number denoted by γt{R3}(G). In this paper, we...

We propose a memory efficient self-stabilizing protocol building distance-k independent dominating sets. A distance-k independent dominating set is a distance-k independent set and a distance-k dominating set. Our algorithm, named SID, is silent; it converges under the unfair distributed scheduler (the weakest scheduling assumption). The protocol SID is memory efficient : it requires only log(2...

Let G = (V,E) be a connected undirected graph. For any vertex v ∈ V , the closed neighborhood of v is N [v] = {v} ∪ {u ∈ V | uv ∈ E }. For S ⊆ V , the closed neighborhood of S is N [S] = ⋃ v∈S N [v]. The subgraph weakly induced by S is 〈S〉w = (N [S], E ∩ (S × N [S])). A set S is a weakly-connected dominating set of G if S is dominating and 〈S〉w is connected. The weakly-connected domination numb...

A subset D of ( ) V G is called an equitable dominating set if for every ( ) v V G D   there exists a vertex u D  such that ( ) uv E G  and | ( ) ( ) | 1 deg u deg v   . A subset D of ( ) V G is called an equitable independent set if for any , u D v   ( ) e N u for all { } v D u   . The concept of equi independent equitable domination is a combination of these two important concepts. ...

A k-dominating set is a set D k V such that every vertex i 2 V nD k has at least k i neighbours in D k. The k-domination number k (G) of G is the cardinality of a smallest k-dominating set of G. For k 1 = ::: = kn = 1, k-domination corresponds to the usual concept of domination. Our approach yields an improvement of an upper bound for the domination number found then the notion of k-dominating ...
