Let F1, F2, . . . , Fk be graphs with the same vertex set V . A subset S ⊆ V is a factor dominating set if in every Fi every vertex not in S is adjacent to a vertex in S, and a factor total dominating set if in every Fi every vertex in V is adjacent to a vertex in S. The cardinality of a smallest such set is the factor (total) domination number. We investigate bounds on the factor (total) domin...

Let G be a graph with domination number γ(G). A dominating set S ⊆ V (G) has property UK if all components of the subgraph it induces in G are complete. The union of complete graphs domination number of a graph G, denoted γuk(G), is the minimum possible size of a dominating set of G, which has property UK. Results on changing and unchanging of γuk after vertex removal are presented. Also forbid...

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graphG = (V,E) is a function f : V −→ {0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that every vertex u for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f(v) = 2. The weight of an RDF is the value f(V (G)) = ∑ u∈V (G) f(u). An RDF f in a graph G is independent if no two vertices assigned positive values are adjacent. The Roman domination number γR(G)...

The open neighborhood NG(e) of an edge e in a graph G is the set consisting of all edges having a common end-vertex with e and its closed neighborhood is NG[e] = NG(e) ∪ {e}. Let f be a function on E(G), the edge set of G, into the set {−1, 1}. If ∑x∈NG[e] f(x) ≥ 1 for at least a half of the edges e ∈ E(G), then f is called a signed edge majority dominating function of G. The minimum of the val...

For any integer k ≥ 1, a signed (total) k-dominating function is a function f : V (G) → {−1, 1} satisfying w∈N [v] f(w) ≥ k ( P w∈N(v) f(w) ≥ k) for every v ∈ V (G), where N(v) = {u ∈ V (G)|uv ∈ E(G)} and N [v] = N(v)∪{v}. The minimum of the values ofv∈V (G) f(v), taken over all signed (total) k-dominating functions f, is called the signed (total) k-domination number and is denoted by γkS(G) (γ...

Risk is a well-known turn based board game where the primary objective is nothing less than the world domination. Gameplay is based on battles between armies located in adjacent territories on the map of Earth. The combat’s outcome is decided by rolling dice, and therefore a probabilistic approach can be taken. Although several results are derived, the conclusions suggest that the gameplay is h...

In this paper we will consider independent sets and independent dominating sets in the strong product of two paths, two cycles and a path and a cycle.
