The k-tuple domination problem, for a fixed positive integer k, is to find a minimum size vertex subset such that every vertex in the graph is dominated by at least k vertices in this set. The case when k 2 is called 2-tuple domination problem or double domination problem. In this paper, the 2-tuple domination problem is studied on interval graphs from an algorithmic point of view, which takes ...

Upper and lower bounds on the total domination number of the direct product of graphs are given. The bounds involve the {2}-total domination number and the total 2-tuple domination number of the factors. Using these relationships some exact total domination numbers are obtained. An infinite family of graphs is constructed showing that the bounds are best possible. The domination number of direc...

In a graph $G$, vertex dominates itself and its neighbours. A set $D\subseteq V(G)$ is said to be $k$-tuple dominating of $G$ if $D$ every at least $k$ times. The minimum cardinality among all sets the domination number $G$. this paper, we provide new bounds on parameter. Some these generalize other ones that have been given for case $k=2$. addition, improve two well-known lower number.

In this paper, we show detailed analysis and performance evaluation of the Dynamic Hybrid GRACE Hash Join Method (DHGH Method) when the tuple distribution in buckets is unbalanced. The conventional Hash Join Methods specify the tuple distribution in buckets statically. However it may differ from estimation since join operations are applied with selection operations. When the tuple distribution ...

The three domatic number problem asks whether a given undirected graph can be partitioned into at least three dominating sets, i.e., sets whose closed neighborhood equals the vertex set of the graph. Since this problem is NP-complete, no polynomial-time algorithm is known for it. The naive deterministic algorithm for this problem runs in time 3n, up to polynomial factors. In this paper, we desi...

We prove a new structural property regarding the “skyline” of uniform radius disks and use this to derive a number of new sequential and distributed approximation algorithms for well-known optimization problems on unit disk graphs (UDGs). Specifically, the paper presents new approximation algorithms for two problems: domatic partition and weighted minimum dominating set (WMDS) on UDGs, both of ...

Let G be a finite and simple graph with vertex set V (G), and let f : V (G) → {−1, 1} be a two-valued function. If ∑ x∈N[v] f (x) ≥ 1 for each v ∈ V (G), where N[v] is the closed neighborhood of v, then f is a signed dominating function on G. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of signed dominating functions on Gwith the property that ∑d i=1 fi(x) ≤ 1 for each x ∈ V (G), is called a signed dominating fa...
