Edge dominating sets and vertex covers
Bipartite graphs with equal edge domination number and maximum matching cardinality are characterized. These two parameters are used to develop bounds on the vertex cover and total vertex cover numbers of graphs and a resulting chain of vertex covering, edge domination, and matching parameters is explored. In addition, the total vertex cover number is compared to the total domination number of ...
متن کاملTropical Dominating Sets in Vertex-Coloured Graphs
Given a vertex-coloured graph, a dominating set is said to be tropical if every colour of the graph appears at least once in the set. Here, we study minimum tropical dominating sets from structural and algorithmic points of view. First, we prove that the tropical dominating set problem is NP-complete even when restricted to a simple path. Then, we establish upper bounds related to various param...
متن کاملDynamic Dominating Sets: the Eviction Model for Eternal Domination
We consider a discrete-time dynamic problem in graphs in which the goal is to maintain a dominating set over an infinite sequence of time steps. At each time step, a specified vertex in the current dominating set must be replaced by a neighbor. In one version of the problem, the only change to the current dominating set is replacement of the specified vertex. In another version of the problem, ...
متن کاملKönig Deletion Sets and Vertex Covers above the Matching Size
A graph is König-Egerváry if the size of a minimum vertex cover equals the size of a maximum matching in the graph. We show that the problem of deleting at most k vertices to make a given graph König-Egerváry is fixedparameter tractable with respect to k. This is proved using interesting structural theorems on matchings and vertex covers which could be useful in other contexts. We also show an ...
متن کاملVertex Covers and Connected Vertex Covers in 3-connected Graphs
A vertex cover of a graph G=(V,E) is a subset N of V such that each element of E is incident upon some element of N, where V and E are the sets of vertices and of edges of G, respectively. A connected vertex cover of a graph G is a vertex cover of G such that the subgraph G[N] induced by N of G is connected. The minimum vertex cover problem (VCP) is the problem of finding a vertex cover of mini...
