Let G be a graph with vertex set V (G), and let f : V (G) −→ {−1, 1} be a two-valued function. If k ≥ 1 is an integer and ∑ x∈N(v) f(x) ≥ k for each v ∈ V (G), where N(v) is the neighborhood of v, then f is a signed total k-dominating function on G. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of distinct signed total k-dominating functions on G with the property that ∑d i=1 fi(x) ≤ k for each x ∈ V (G), is call...

For every positive integer k, a set S of vertices in a graph G = (V;E) is a k- tuple dominating set of G if every vertex of V -S is adjacent to at least k vertices and every vertex of S is adjacent to at least k - 1 vertices in S. The minimum cardinality of a k-tuple dominating set of G is the k-tuple domination number of G. When k = 1, a k-tuple domination number is the well-studied domination...

The domatic number of a graph G is the maximum number of dominating sets into which the vertex set of G can be partitioned. We show that the domatic number of a random r-regular graph is almost surely at most r, and that for 3-regular random graphs, the domatic number is almost surely equal to 3. We also give a lower bound on the domatic number of a graph in terms of order, minimum degree and m...

Let G = (V,E) be a simple undirected graph, and k be a positive integer. A k-dominating set of G is a set of vertices S ⊆ V satisfying that every vertex in V \ S is adjacent to at least k vertices in S. A k-domatic partition of G is a partition of V into k-dominating sets. The k-domatic number of G is the maximum number of k-dominating sets contained in a k-domatic partition of G. In this paper...

A dominating set S in a graph G is a tree dominating set of G if the subgraph induced by S is a tree. The tree domatic number of G is the maximum number of pairwise disjoint tree dominating sets in V (G). First, some exact values of and sharp bounds for the tree domatic number are given. Then, we establish a sharp lower bound for the number of edges in a connected graph of given order and given...

A signed Roman dominating function (SRDF) on a graph G is a function f : V (G) → {−1, 1, 2} such that u∈N [v] f(u) ≥ 1 for every v ∈ V (G), and every vertex u ∈ V (G) for which f(u) = −1 is adjacent to at least one vertex w for which f(w) = 2. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of distinct signed Roman dominating functions on G with the property that ∑d i=1 fi(v) ≤ 1 for each v ∈ V (G), is called a sig...

For a graph $G = (V, E)$, a partition $pi = {V_1,$ $V_2,$ $ldots,$ $V_k}$ of the vertex set $V$ is an textit{upper domatic partition} if $V_i$ dominates $V_j$ or $V_j$ dominates $V_i$ or both for every $V_i, V_j in pi$, whenever $i neq j$. The textit{upper domatic number} $D(G)$ is the maximum order of an upper domatic partition. We study the properties of upper domatic number and propose an up...
