Let $kgeq 1$ be an integer, and $G=(V,E)$ be a finite and simplegraph. The closed neighborhood $N_G[e]$ of an edge $e$ in a graph$G$ is the set consisting of $e$ and all edges having a commonend-vertex with $e$. A signed Roman edge $k$-dominating function(SREkDF) on a graph $G$ is a function $f:E rightarrow{-1,1,2}$ satisfying the conditions that (i) for every edge $e$of $G$, $sum _{xin N[e]} f...

Let S be the set of minimal dominating sets of graph G and U, W ⊂ S with U ⋃ W = S and U ⋂ W = ∅. A Smarandachely mediate-(U,W ) dominating graph D m(G) of a graph G is a graph with V (D m(G)) = V ′ = V ⋃ U and two vertices u, v ∈ V ′ are adjacent if they are not adjacent in G or v = D is a minimal dominating set containing u. particularly, if U = S and W = ∅, i.e., a Smarandachely mediate-(S, ...

The concept of vague graph was introduced by Ramakrishna in [12]. A vague graph is a generalized structure of a fuzzy graph that gives more precision, flexibility, and compatibility to a system when compared with systems that are designed using fuzzy graphs. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of dominating set, perfect dominating set, minimal perfect dominating set and i...

A weakly-connected dominating set, W, of a graph, G, is a dominating set such that the subgraph consisting of V (G) and all edges incident with vertices in W is connected. Finding a small weaklyconnected dominating set of a graph has important applications in clustering mobile ad-hoc networks. In this paper we introduce several new randomised greedy algorithms for finding small weakly-connected...

Results about wreath products of circulant graphs are used to construct infinitely many circulant graphswith efficient dominating setswhose elements need not be equally spaced in Zn. It is proved that if a circulant graph of large degree has an efficient dominating set, then either its elements are equally spaced, or the graph is the wreath product of a smaller circulant graph with an efficient...

The k-dominating graph Dk(G) of a graph G is defined on the vertex set consisting of dominating sets of G with cardinality at most k, two such sets being adjacent if they differ by either adding or deleting a single vertex. In this paper, after presenting several basic properties of k-dominating graphs, it is proved that if G is a graph with no isolates, of order n ≥ 2, and with G ∼= Dk(G), the...

A dominating set of a graph is a vertex subset that any vertex belongs to or is adjacent to. Among the many well-studied variants of domination are the so-called paired-dominating sets. A paired-dominating set is a dominating set whose induced subgraph has a perfect matching. In this paper, we continue their study. We focus on graphs that do not contain the net-graph (obtained by attaching a pe...
