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...

In this paper, the concept of incidence domination number of graphs  is introduced and the incidence dominating set and  the incidence domination number  of some particular graphs such as  paths, cycles, wheels, complete graphs and stars are studied.

‎for any integer $kgeq 1$‎, ‎a set $s$ of vertices in a graph $g=(v,e)$ is a $k$-‎tuple total dominating set of $g$ if any vertex‎ ‎of $g$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in $s$‎, ‎and any vertex‎ ‎of $v-s$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in $v-s$‎. ‎the minimum number of vertices of such a set‎ ‎in $g$ we call the $k$-tuple total restrained domination number of $g$‎. ‎the maximum num...

The domatic partition problem seeks to maximize the partitioning of the nodes of the network into disjoint dominating sets. These sets represent a series of virtual backbones for wireless sensor networks to be activated successively, resulting in more balanced energy consumption and increased network robustness. In this study, we address the domatic partition problem in random geometric graphs ...

Let, of the domination number of graph. The bondage number G was first introduced by Fink, Jacobson, the minimum among all sets of holds. In this paper we show that for graph G satisfying

We show that the number of minimal dominating sets in a graph on n vertices is at most 1.7697, thus improving on the trivial O(2n/√n) bound. Our result makes use of the measure and conquer technique from exact algorithms, and can be easily turned into an O(1.7697) listing algorithm. Based on this result, we derive an O(2.8805n) algorithm for the domatic number problem, and an O(1.5780) algorith...

The open neighborhood of a vertex $v$ of a graph $G$ is the set $N(v)$ consisting of all vertices adjacent to $v$ in $G$. For $Dsubseteq V(G)$, we define $overline{D}=V(G)setminus D$. A set $Dsubseteq V(G)$ is called a super dominating set of $G$ if for every vertex $uin overline{D}$, there exists $vin D$ such that $N(v)cap overline{D}={u}$. The super domination number of $G$ is the minimum car...
