We treat a variation of graph domination which involves partition ( V 1 , 2 ,..., k ) the vertex set G and each class i over distance d where all vertices edges may be used in process. Strict upper bounds extremal graphs are presented; results collected three handy tables. Further, we compare high number classes dominators needed.

Let [Formula: see text] be a graph. A set [Formula: see text] is a distance k-dominating set of G if for every vertex [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] for some vertex [Formula: see text], where k is a positive integer. The distance k-domination number [Formula: see text] of G is the minimum cardinality among all distance k-dominating sets of G. The first Zagreb index of G is defined as ...

In this paper we consider the (d, n)-domination number, γd,n(Qn), the distance-d domination number γd(Qn) and the connected distance-d domination number γc,d(Qn) of ndimensional hypercube graphs Qn. We show that for 2 ≤ d ≤ bn/2c, and n ≥ 4, γd,n(Qn) ≤ 2n−2d+2, improving the bound of Xie and Xu [19]. We also show that γd(Qn) ≤ 2n−2d+2−r, for 2 − 1 ≤ n − 2d + 1 < 2 − 1, and γc,d(Qn) ≤ 2n−d, for ...

An exponential dominating set of graph G = (V,E) is a subset D ⊆ V such that ∑ w∈D( 1 2 )d(v,w)−1 ≥ 1 for every v ∈ V, where d(v, w) is the distance between vertices v and w. The exponential domination number, γe(G), is the smallest cardinality of an exponential dominating set. Lower and upper bounds for γe(Cm × Cn) are determined and it is shown that limm,n→∞ γe(Cm×Cn) mn ≤ 1 13 . Two connecti...

A set $S subseteq V(G)$ is a semitotal dominating set of a graph $G$ if it is a dominating set of $G$ andevery vertex in $S$ is within distance 2 of another vertex of $S$. Thesemitotal domination number $gamma_{t2}(G)$ is the minimumcardinality of a semitotal dominating set of $G$.We show that the semitotal domination problem isAPX-complete for bounded-degree graphs, and the semitotal dominatio...

Let G = (V, E) be a graph without isolated vertices. A set D ⊆ V is a d-distance paired-dominating set of G if D is a d-distance dominating set of G and the induced subgraph 〈D〉 has a perfect matching. The minimum cardinality of a d-distance paired-dominating set for graph G is the d-distance paired-domination number, denoted by γd p(G). In this paper, we study the ddistance paired-domination n...

Let G = (V, E) be a graph, and k ≥ 1 an integer. A subgraph D is said to be k-dominating in G if every vertex of G−D is at distance at most k from some vertex of D. For a given class D of graphs, DomkD is the set of those graphs G in which every connected induced subgraph H has some k-dominating induced subgraph D ∈ D which is also connected. In our notation, DomD coincides with Dom1D. In this ...
