For any graph G and a set ~ of graphs, two distinct vertices of G are said to be ~-adjacent if they are contained in a subgraph of G which is isomorphic to a member of ~. A set S of vertices of G is an ~-dominating set (total ~¢~-dominating set) of G if every vertex in V(G)-S (V(G), respectively) is 9¢g-adjacent to a vertex in S. An ~-dominating set of G in which no two vertices are oCf-adjacen...

Let G = (V, E) be a graph. Set D ⊆ V (G) is a total outerconnected dominating set of G if D is a total dominating set in G and G[V (G)−D] is connected. The total outer-connected domination number of G, denoted by γtc(G), is the smallest cardinality of a total outer-connected dominating set of G. We show that if T is a tree of order n, then γtc(T ) ≥ d 2n 3 e. Moreover, we constructively charact...

In this paper, we study the Dominating Set problem in random graphs. In a random graph, each pair of vertices are joined by an edge with a probability of p, where p is a positive constant less than 1. We show that, given a random graph in n vertices, a minimum dominating set in the graph can be computed in expected 2 2 2 n) time. For the parameterized dominating set problem, we show that it can...

We propose a memory efficient self-stabilizing protocol building distance-k independent dominating sets. A distance-k independent dominating set is a distance-k independent set and a distance-k dominating set. Our algorithm, named SID, is silent; it converges under the unfair distributed scheduler (the weakest scheduling assumption). The protocol SID is memory efficient : it requires only log(2...
