Domination parameters in random graphs G(n, p), where p is a fixed real number in (0, 1), are investigated. We show that with probability tending to 1 as n → ∞, the total and independent domination numbers concentrate on the domination number of G(n, p).

A set S of vertices in a graph G = (V,E) is a total dominating set of G if every vertex of V is adjacent to a vertex in S. The total domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set of G. The total domination subdivision number of G is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (where each edge in G can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the tot...

We initiate the study of total outer-independent domination in graphs. A total outer-independent 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, and the set V (G) \ D is independent. The total outer-independent domination number of a graph G is the minimum cardinality of a total outer-independent dominating set of G. First we discuss the ...

For a graph G, let f : V (G) → P({1, 2, . . . , k}) be a function. If for each vertex v ∈ V (G) such that f(v) = ∅ we have ∪u∈N(v)f(u) = {1, 2, . . . , k}, then f is called a k-rainbow dominating function (or simply kRDF) of G. The weight, w(f), of a kRDF f is defined as w(f) = ∑ v∈V (G) |f(v)|. The minimum weight of a kRDF of G is called the k-rainbow domination number of G, and is denoted by ...

The total domination number of a simple, undirected graph G is the minimum cardinality of a subset D of the vertices of G such that each vertex of G is adjacent to some vertex in D. In 2007 Graffiti.pc, a program that makes graph theoretical conjectures, was used to generate conjectures on the total domination number of connected graphs. More recently, the program was used to generate conjectur...

Let γt(G) and γ2(G) be the total domination number and the 2domination number of a graph G, respectively. It has been shown that: γt(T ) ≤ γ2(T ) for any tree T . In this paper, we provide a constructive characterization of those trees with equal total domination number and 2-domination number.

This paper deals the graphs for which the removal of any edge changes the majority domination number of the graph. γM -critical edges, γM -redundant edges, γM -durable graphs and γM -critical graphs are studied. Further, majority domination critical edges and majority domination critical graphs are characterized.
