In this paper, we continue the study of the domination game in graphs introduced by Brešar, Klavžar, and Rall [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 24 (2010) 979–991]. We study the total version of the domination game and show that these two versions differ significantly. We present a key lemma, known as the Total Continuation Principle, to compare the Dominator-start total domination game and the Staller-st...

The domination number of a graph G = (V,E) is the minimum cardinality of any subset S ⊂ V such that every vertex in V is in S or adjacent to an element of S. Finding the domination numbers of m by n grids was an open problem for nearly 30 years and was finally solved in 2011 by Goncalves, Pinlou, Rao, and Thomassé. Many variants of domination number on graphs, such as double domination number a...

Let $G = (V, E)$ be a simple graph of order $n$. The total dominating set is a subset $D$ of $V$ that every vertex of $V$ is adjacent to some vertices of $D$. The total domination number of $G$ is equal to minimum cardinality of total dominating set in $G$ and denoted by $gamma_t(G)$. The total domination polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial $D_t(G,x)=sum d_t(G,i)$, where $d_t(G,i)$ is the numbe...

In this paper, we define a new domination-like invariant of graphs. Let $${\mathbb {R}}^{+}$$ be the set non-negative numbers. $$c\in {\mathbb {R}}^{+}-\{0\}$$ number, and let G graph. A function $$f:V(G)\rightarrow is c-self-dominating if for every $$u\in V(G)$$ , $$f(u)\ge c$$ or $$\max \{f(v):v\in N_{G}(u)\}\ge 1$$ . The c-self-domination number $$\gamma ^{c}(G)$$ defined as ^{c}(G):=\min \{...

In this article we give a new definition of direct product of two arbitrary fuzzy graphs. We define the concepts of domination and total domination in this new product graph. We obtain an upper bound for the total domination number of the product fuzzy graph. Further we define the concept of total α-domination number and derive a lower bound for the total domination number of the product fuzzy ...

In this paper we study the signed Roman dominationnumber of the join of graphs. Specially, we determine it for thejoin of cycles, wheels, fans and friendship graphs.
