Let δ(G), ∆(G) and γ(G) be the minimum degree, maximum degree and domination number of a graph G = (V (G), E(G)), respectively. A partition of V (G), all of whose classes are dominating sets in G, is called a domatic partition of G. The maximum number of classes of a domatic partition of G is called the domatic number of G, denoted d(G). It is well known that d(G) ≤ δ(G)+1, d(G)γ(G) ≤ |V (G)| [...

The domatic number d(G) of a graph G = (V,E) is the maximum order of a partition of V into dominating sets. Such a partition Π = {D1, D2, . . . , Dd} is called a minimal dominating d-partition if Π contains the maximum number of minimal dominating sets, where the maximum is taken over all d-partitions of G. The minimal dominating d-partition number Λ(G) is the number of minimal dominating sets ...

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) ...

Domination is a well-known graph theoretic concept due to its significant real-world applications in several domains, such as design and communication network analysis, coding theory, optimization. For connected ? = V , E ...

Let G be a graph. A total dominating set of G is a set S of vertices of G such that every vertex is adjacent to at least one vertex in S. The total domatic number of a graph is the maximum number of total dominating sets which partition the vertex set of G. In this paper we would like to characterize the cubic graphs with total domatic number at least two.

For a positive integer k, a total {k}-dominating function of a digraph D is a function f from the vertex set V (D) to the set {0, 1, 2, . . . , k} such that for any vertex v ∈ V (D), the condition ∑ u∈N(v) f(u) ≥ k is fulfilled, where N(v) consists of all vertices of D from which arcs go into v. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of total {k}-dominating functions of D with the property that ∑ d i=1 fi(...
