The paper studies the domatic numbers and the total domatic numbers of graphs having cut-vertices. We shall study the domatic number d(G) and the total domatic number d t (G) of a graph G. A survey of the related theory is given in 3]. We consider nite, undirected graphs without loops or multiple edges. A subset D of the vertex set V (G) of a graph G is called dominating (total dominating), if ...

Let D be a finite and simple digraph with vertex set V (D), and let f : V (D) → {−1, 1} be a two-valued function. If k ≥ 1 is an integer and ∑ x∈N−[v] f(x) ≥ k for each v ∈ V (D), where N−[v] consists of v and all vertices of D from which arcs go into v, then f is a signed k-dominating function on D. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of distinct signed k-dominating functions of D with the property tha...

A dominating set of a graph G =( P’, E) is a subset D of Vsuch that every vertex not in D is adjacent to some vertex in D. The domatic number d(G) of G is the maximum positive integer k such that V can be partitioned into k pairwise disjoint dominating sets. The purpose of this paper is to study the domatic numbers of graphs that are obtained from small graphs by performing graph operations, su...

Let G be a simple graph without isolated vertices with vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G) and let k be a positive integer. A function f : E(G) −→ {−1, 1} is said to be a signed star k-dominating function on G if ∑ e∈E(v) f(e) ≥ k for every vertex v of G, where E(v) = {uv ∈ E(G) | u ∈ N(v)}. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of signed star k-dominating functions on G with the property that ∑d i=1 fi(e)...
