In this paper, we present new upper bounds for the global domination and Roman domination numbers and also prove that these results are asymptotically best possible. Moreover, we give upper bounds for the restrained domination and total restrained domination numbers for large classes of graphs, and show that, for almost all graphs, the restrained domination number is equal to the domination num...

In this paper, we continue the study of the domination game in graphs introduced by Brešar, Klavžar, and Rall [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 24 (2010) 979–991]. We study the total version of the domination game and show that these two versions differ significantly. We present a key lemma, known as the Total Continuation Principle, to compare the Dominator-start total domination game and the Staller-st...

In this paper, we continue the study of neighborhood total domination in graphs first studied by Arumugam and Sivagnanam [Opuscula Math. 31 (2011), 519–531]. A neighborhood total dominating set, abbreviated NTD-set, in a graph G is a dominating set S in G with the property that the subgraph induced by the open neighborhood of the set S has no isolated vertex. The neighborhood total domination n...

Generalized Petersen graphs are an important class of commonly used interconnection networks and have been studied . The total domination number of generalized Petersen graphs P(m,2) is obtained in this paper.

The domination multisubdivision number of a nonempty graph G was defined in [3] as the minimum positive integer k such that there exists an edge which must be subdivided k times to increase the domination number of G. Similarly we define the total domination multisubdivision number msdγt(G) of a graph G and we show that for any connected graph G of order at least two, msdγt(G) ≤ 3. We show that...

a {em roman dominating function} on a graph $g = (v ,e)$ is a function $f : vlongrightarrow {0, 1, 2}$ satisfying the condition that every vertex $v$ for which $f (v) = 0$ is adjacent to at least one vertex $u$ for which $f (u) = 2$. the {em weight} of a roman dominating function is the value $w(f)=sum_{vin v}f(v)$. the roman domination number of a graph $g$, denoted by $gamma_r(g)$, equals the...

In this article we give a new definition of direct product of two arbitrary fuzzy graphs. We define the concepts of domination and total domination in this new product graph. We obtain an upper bound for the total domination number of the product fuzzy graph. Further we define the concept of total α-domination number and derive a lower bound for the total domination number of the product fuzzy ...

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...

Given a graph G = (V, E) of order n and an n-dimensional non-negative vector d = (d(1), d(2), . . . , d(n)), called demand vector, the vector domination (resp., total vector domination) is the problem of finding a minimum S ⊆ V such that every vertex v in V \S (resp., in V ) has at least d(v) neighbors in S. The (total) vector domination is a generalization of many dominating set type problems,...
