A dominating set D of a graph G = (V,E) is a subset of vertices such that every vertex in V \D has at least one neighbour in D. Moreover if D is an independent set, i.e. no vertices in D are pairwise adjacent, then D is said to be an independent dominating set. Finding a minimum independent dominating set in a graph is an NP-hard problem. We give an algorithm computing a minimum independent dom...

Let D be the minimum dominating set of intuitionistic fuzzy graph G. The minimum intuitionistic fuzzy cardinality of all edge dominating set of intuitionistic fuzzy graph G is known as edge domination number and it is denoted by γe(G). In this Paper, we initiate some definitions onedge dominating set concerning intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Further, we investigate some results onedge domination nu...

Say that an edge of a graph G dominates itself and every other edge adjacent to it. An edge dominating set of a graph G = (V,E) is a subset of edges E′ ⊆ E which dominates all edges of G. In particular, if every edge of G is dominated by exactly one edge of E′ then E′ is a dominating induced matching. It is known that not every graph admits a dominating induced matching, while the problem to de...

Abstract— Let G be a bipartite graph. A X-dominating set D of X of G is a strong nonsplit Xdominating set of G if every vertex in X-D is X-adjacent to all other vertices in X-D. The strong nonsplit X-domination number of a graph G, denoted by ) (G snsX γ is the minimum cardinality of a strong nonsplit X-dominating set. We find the bounds for strong nonsplit X-dominating set and give its biparti...

We prove that every (claw, net)-free graph contains an induced doubly dominating cycle or a dominating pair. Moreover, using LexBFS we present a linear time algorithm which, for a given (claw, net)-free graph, 3nds either a dominating pair or an induced doubly dominating cycle. We show also how one can use structural properties of (claw, net)-free graphs to solve e4ciently the domination, indep...

A set of vertices in a graph is perfect dominating if every vertex outside the set is adjacent to exactly one vertex in the set, and is neighborhood connected if the subgraph induced by its open neighborhood is connected. In any graph the full set of vertices is perfect dominating, and in every connected graph the full set of vertices is neighborhood connected. It is shown that (i) in a connect...

A cycle in a graph is dominating if every vertex lies at distance at most one from the cycle and a cycle is D-cycle if every edge is incident with a vertex of the cycle. In this paper, first we provide recursive formulae for finding a shortest dominating cycle in a Hahn graph; minor modifications can give formulae for finding a shortest D-cycle. Then, dominating cycles and D-cycles in a Halin g...

We first consider some problems related to the maximum number of dominating (or strong dominating) sets in a regular graph. Our techniques, centered around Shearer’s entropy lemma, extend to a reasonably broad class of graph parameters enumerating vertex colorings that satisfy conditions on the multiset of colors appearing in neighborhoods (either open or closed). Dominating sets and strong dom...

We give alternative definitions for maximum matching width, e.g. a graph G has mmw(G) ≤ k if and only if it is a subgraph of a chordal graph H and for every maximal clique X of H there exists A,B,C ⊆ X with A∪B∪C = X and |A|, |B|, |C| ≤ k such that any subset of X that is a minimal separator of H is a subset of either A,B or C. Treewidth and branchwidth have alternative definitions through inte...
