In [1], whether a target binary string s can be represented from a boolean formula with operands chosen from a set of binary strings W was studied. In this paper, we first examine selecting a maximum subset X from W , so that for any string t in X , t is not representable by X \ {t}. We rephrase this problem as graph, and surprisingly find it give rise to a broad model of edge packing problem, ...

A subset D of vertices of a graph G is a dominating set if for each u ∈ V (G) \ D, u is adjacent to somevertex v ∈ D. The domination number, γ(G) ofG, is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G. A setD ⊆ V (G) is a total dominating set if for eachu ∈ V (G), u is adjacent to some vertex v ∈ D. Thetotal domination number, γt (G) of G, is theminimum cardinality of a total dominating set o...

Let G = (V, E) be a graph. A k-connected restrained dominating set is a set S ⊆ V , where S is a restrained dominating set and G[S] has at most k components. The k-connected restrained domination number of G, denoted by γ k r (G), is the smallest cardi-nality of a k-connected restrained dominating set of G. In this talk, I will give some exact values and sharp bounds for γ k r (G). Then the nec...

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...

a set $s$ of vertices in a graph $g$ is a dominating set if every vertex of $v-s$ is adjacent to some vertex in $s$. the domination number $gamma(g)$ is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set in $g$. the annihilation number $a(g)$ is the largest integer $k$ such that the sum of the first $k$ terms of the non-decreasing degree sequence of $g$ is at most the number of edges in $g$. in this p...

This paper presents a multi-start iterated local search (MS-ILS), an exact approach based on improved integer linear programming (ILP) model, and matheuristic combining the ILP with MS-ILS through solution merging for minimum capacitated dominating set (CAPMDS) problem undirected graphs. is extension of well-known problem, where there cap number nodes that each node can dominate, goal to find c...

A subset $S$ of vertex set $V(D)$ is an {em indpendent dominating set} of $D$ if $S$ is both an independent and a dominating set of $D$. The {em indpendent domination number}, $i(D)$ is the cardinality of the smallest independent dominating set of $D$. In this paper we calculate the independent domination number of the { em cartesian product} of two {em directed paths} $P_m$ and $P_n$ for arbi...

‎A total dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set $D$ of vertices of $G$ such that every vertex of $G$ has a neighbor in $D$‎. ‎The total domination number of a graph $G$‎, ‎denoted by $gamma_t(G)$‎, ‎is~the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set of $G$‎. ‎Chellali and Haynes [Total and paired-domination numbers of a tree, AKCE International ournal of Graphs and Combinatorics 1 (2004)‎, ‎6...

A set D of a graph G = (V,E) is a dominating set if every vertex in V −D is adjacent to some vertex in D. The domination number γ(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set. A dominating set D is called a complementary tree dominating set if the induced sub graph < V −D > is a tree. The minimum cardinality of a complementary tree dominating set is called the complementary tree domin...
