Let G = (V,E) be a graph and let f be a function f : E → {0, 1, 2}. An edge x with f(x) = 0 is said to be undefended with respect to f if it is not incident to an edge with positive weight. The function f is a weak edge Roman dominating function (WERDF) if each edge x with f(x) = 0 is incident to an edge y with f(y) > 0 such that the function f ′ : E → {0, 1, 2}, defined by f ′(x) = 1, f ′(y) =...

The independent domination number of a graph is the smallest cardinality of an independent set that dominates the graph. In this paper we consider the independent domination number of triangle-free graphs. We improve several of the known bounds as a function of the order and minimum degree, thereby answering conjectures of Haviland.

The six basic parameters relating to domination, independence and irredundance satisfy a chain of inequalities given by ir ≤ γ ≤ i ≤ β0 ≤ Γ ≤ IR where ir, IR are the irredundance and upper irredundance numbers, γ,Γ are the domination and upper domination numbers and i, β0 are the independent domination number and independence number respectively. In this paper, we introduce the concept of indep...

Let G be a graph with no isolated vertex and let N(v) the open neighbourhood of v∈V(G). f:V(G)→{0,1,2} function Vi={v∈V(G):f(v)=i} for every i∈{0,1,2}. We say that f is strongly total Roman dominating on if subgraph induced by V1∪V2 has N(v)∩V2≠∅ v∈V(G)\V2. The domination number G, denoted γtRs(G), defined as minimum weight ω(f)=∑x∈V(G)f(x) among all functions G. This paper devoted to study it ...

We find the maximum number of edges for a graph of given order and value of parameter for several domination parameters. In particular, we consider the total domination and independent domination numbers.

for a graph $g$ let $gamma (g)$ be its domination number. we define a graph g to be (i) a hypo-efficient domination graph (or a hypo-$mathcal{ed}$ graph) if $g$ has no efficient dominating set (eds) but every graph formed by removing a single vertex from $g$ has at least one eds, and (ii) a hypo-unique domination graph (a hypo-$mathcal{ud}$ graph) if $g$ has at least two minimum dominating sets...
