On the complexity of some bondage problems in graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paired bondage number (total restrained bondage number, independent bondage number, k-rainbow bondage number) of a graph G, is the minimum number of edges whose removal from G results in a graph with larger paired domination number (respectively, total restrained domination number, independent domination number, k-rainbow domination number). In this paper we show that the decision problems for these variants are NP-hard, even when restricted to bipartite graphs.

On Bondage Numbers of Graphs: A Survey with Some Comments
The domination number of a graph G is the smallest number of vertices which dominate all remaining vertices by edges of G. The bondage number of a nonempty graphG is the smallest number of edges whose removal fromG results in a graph with domination number greater than the domination number of G. The concept of the bondage number was formally introduced by Fink et al. in 1990. Since then, this ...
متن کاملThe bondage numbers and efficient dominations of vertex-transitive graphs
The bondage number of a graph G is the minimum number of edges whose removal results in a graph with larger domination number.A dominating setD is called an efficient dominating set ofG if |N−[v]∩D|=1 for every vertex v ∈ V (G). In this paper we establish a tight lower bound for the bondage number of a vertex-transitive graph. We also obtain upper bounds for regular graphs by investigating the ...
متن کاملOn the complexity of the outer-connected bondage and the outer-connected reinforcement problems
Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A subset S ⊆ V is a dominating set of G if every vertex not in S is adjacent to a vertex in S. A set D̃ ⊆ V of a graph G = (V,E) is called an outer-connected dominating set for G if (1) D̃ is a dominating set for G, and (2) G[V \ D̃], the induced subgraph of G by V \ D̃, is connected. The minimum size among all outer-connected dominating sets of G is called the outerconnec...
متن کاملNote on Conjectures of Bondage Numbers of Planar Graphs
The bondage number of a graph G is the cardinality of a smallest set of edges whose removal results in a graph with domination number larger than that of G. The bondage number measures to some extent the robustness of a network with respect to link failure. This note mainly considers some conjectures on the bondage number of a planar graph, and shows limitations of known methods and presents so...
متن کاملOn the bondage number of planar and directed graphs
The bondage number b(G) of a nonempty graph G is defined to be the cardinality of the smallest set E of edges of G such that the graph G − E has domination number greater than that of G. In this paper we present a simplified proof that b(G) ≤ min{8,∆(G) + 2} for all planar graphs G, give examples of planar graphs with bondage number 6, and bound the bondage number of directed graphs.
