Abstract. The middle edge dominating graph Med(G) of a graph G=(V,E) is a graph with the vertex set E ∪S where S is the set of all minimal edge dominating set G and with two vertices u, v є E ∪S adjacent if u є E and V=F is a minimal edge dominating set of G containing u or u,v are not disjoint minimal edge dominating sets in S .In this paper we discuss about the middle edge dominating graph of...

For any graph, there is a largest integer k such that given any partition of the vertex set with at most k elements in each class of the partition, there is transversal of the partition that is a dominating set in the graph. Some basic results about this parameter, the partition domination number, are obtained. In particular, it is shown that its value is 2 for the two-dimensional infinite grid...

To improve the efficiency of routing and broadcast and reducing energy consumption in the process of data transmission, calculating minimum connected dominating set is always used to construct virtual backbone network in wireless sensor networks. Calculating the minimum connected dominating set (MCDS) of plane graphs is a NPcomplete problem. In this paper, an algorithm leveraging 1hop neighborh...

Nodes of minimum connected dominating set (MCDS) form a virtual backbone in a wireless adhoc network. In this paper, a modified approach is presented to determine MCDS of an underlying graph of a Wireless Adhoc network. Simulation results for a variety of graphs indicate that the approach is efficient in determining the MCDS as compared to other existing techniques.

Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A set D ⊆ V is a total outer-connected dominating set of G if D is dominating and G[V −D] is connected. The total outer-connected domination number of G, denoted γtc(G), is the smallest cardinality of a total outer-connected dominating set of G. It is known that if T is a tree of order n ≥ 2, then γtc(T ) ≥ 2n 3 . We will provide a constructive characterization for tre...

Based on a series of known and new examples, we propose the generalized setting of “distance from triviality” measurement as a reasonable and prospective way of determining useful structural problem parameters in analyzing computationally hard problems. The underlying idea is to consider tractable special cases of generally hard problems and to introduce parameters that measure the distance fro...

The Square Coloring of a graph G refers to coloring vertices such that any two distinct which are at distance most receive different colors. In this paper, we initiate the study related problem called subset square graphs. Broadly, studies dominating set using q Here aim is optimize number colors used. This also generalizes well-studied Efficient Dominating Set problem. We show $$q$$ -Subset NP...

This paper contains a number of estimations of the split domination number and the maximal domination number of a graph with a deleted subset of edges which induces a complete subgraph Kp. We discuss noncomplete graphs having or not having hanging vertices. In particular, for p = 2 the edge deleted graphs are considered. The motivation of these problems comes from [2] and [6], where the authors...

a roman dominating function (rdf) on a graph g = (v,e) is defined to be a function 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. a set s v is a restrained dominating set if every vertex not in s is adjacent to a vertex in s and to a vertex in . we define a restrained roman dominating function on a graph g = (v,e) to be ...

An important technique in large cardinal set theory is that of extending an elementary embedding j : M → N between inner models to an elementary embedding j∗ : M [G] → N [G∗] between generic extensions of them. This technique is crucial both in the study of large cardinal preservation and of internal consistency. In easy cases, such as when forcing to make the GCH hold, the generic G∗ is simply...
