Abstract Let G be a graph with vertex set V and edge E , $$D\subseteq V$$ D ⊆ V is total dominating if every $$v\in v ∈ has at least one neighbor in D . The minimum cardinality among all sets called the domination numbe...

let $k$ be a positive integer. a subset $s$ of $v(g)$ in a graph $g$ is a $k$-tuple total dominating set of $g$ if every vertex of $g$ has at least $k$ neighbors in $s$. the $k$-tuple total domination number $gamma _{times k,t}(g)$ of $g$ is the minimum cardinality of a $k$-tuple total dominating set of $g$. if$v(g)=v^{0}={v_{1}^{0},v_{2}^{0},ldots ,v_{n}^{0}}$ and $e(g)=e_{0}$, then for any in...

The inflation $G_{I}$ of a graph $G$ with $n(G)$ vertices and $m(G)$ edges is obtained from $G$ by replacing every vertex of degree $d$ of $G$ by a clique, which is isomorph to the complete graph $K_{d}$, and each edge $(x_{i},x_{j})$ of $G$ is replaced by an edge $(u,v)$ in such a way that $uin X_{i}$, $vin X_{j}$, and two different edges of $G$ are replaced by non-adjacent edges of $G_{I}$. T...

Let $kgeq 1$ be an integer, and let $G$ be a graph. A {it$k$-rainbow dominating function} (or a {it $k$-RDF}) of $G$ is afunction $f$ from the vertex set $V(G)$ to the family of all subsetsof ${1,2,ldots ,k}$ such that for every $vin V(G)$ with$f(v)=emptyset $, the condition $bigcup_{uinN_{G}(v)}f(u)={1,2,ldots,k}$ is fulfilled, where $N_{G}(v)$ isthe open neighborhood of $v$. The {it weight} o...
