چکیده

A DD2-pair of a graph G is a pair (D,D2) of disjoint sets of vertices of G such that D is a dominating set and D2 is a 2-dominating set of G. Although there are infinitely many graphs that do not contain a DD2-pair, we show that every graph with minimum degree at least two has a DD2-pair. We provide a constructive characterization of trees that have a DD2-pair and show that K3,3 is the only connected graph with minimum degree at least three for which D ∪D2 necessarily contains all vertices of the graph.

Strength of strongest dominating sets in fuzzy graphs

A set S of vertices in a graph G=(V,E) is a dominating set ofG if every vertex of V-S is adjacent to some vertex of S.For an integer k≥1, a set S of vertices is a k-step dominating set if any vertex of $G$ is at distance k from somevertex of S. In this paper, using membership values of vertices and edges in fuzzy graphs, we introduce the concepts of strength of strongestdominating set as well a...

TOTAL DOMINATION POLYNOMIAL OF GRAPHS FROM PRIMARY SUBGRAPHS

Let $G = (V, E)$ be a simple graph of order $n$. The total dominating set is a subset $D$ of $V$ that every vertex of $V$ is adjacent to some vertices of $D$. The total domination number of $G$ is equal to minimum cardinality of total dominating set in $G$ and denoted by $gamma_t(G)$. The total domination polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial $D_t(G,x)=sum d_t(G,i)$, where $d_t(G,i)$ is the numbe...

A Characterization of Graphs with Disjoint Total Dominating Sets

A set S of vertices in a graph G is a total dominating set of G if every vertex is adjacent to a vertex in S. A fundamental problem in total domination theory in graphs is to determine which graphs have two disjoint total dominating sets. In this paper, we solve this problem and provide a constructive characterization of the graphs that have two disjoint total dominating sets.

A Note on Disjoint Dominating Sets in Graphs

The disjoint domination number γγ(G) of a graph G is the minimum cardinality of the union of two disjoint dominating sets in G. The disjoint independent domination number of a graph G is the minimum cardinality of the union of two disjoint independent dominating sets in G. In this paper we study these two parameters. We determine the value of γγ(G) for several graphs and give partial answers to...
