An independent dominating set in the complement of a minimum dominating set of a tree
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove that for every tree T of order at least 2 and every minimum dominating set D of T which contains at most one endvertex of T , there is an independent dominating set I of T which is disjoint from D. This confirms a recent conjecture of Johnson, Prier, and Walsh.

Outer independent Roman domination number of trees
A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph G=(V,E) is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex u for which f(u)=0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f(v)=2. An RDF f is calledan outer independent Roman dominating function (OIRDF) if the set ofvertices assigned a 0 under f is an independent set. The weight of anOIRDF is the sum of its function values over ...
متن کاملOn independent domination numbers of grid and toroidal grid directed graphs
A subset $S$ of vertex set $V(D)$ is an {em indpendent dominating set} of $D$ if $S$ is both an independent and a dominating set of $D$. The {em indpendent domination number}, $i(D)$ is the cardinality of the smallest independent dominating set of $D$. In this paper we calculate the independent domination number of the { em cartesian product} of two {em directed paths} $P_m$ and $P_n$ for arbi...

A total dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set $D$ of vertices of $G$ such that every vertex of $G$ has a neighbor in $D$. The total domination number of a graph $G$, denoted by $gamma_t(G)$, is~the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set of $G$.

متن کاملOn the outer independent 2-rainbow domination number of Cartesian products of paths and cycles
Let G be a graph. A 2-rainbow dominating function (or 2-RDF) of G is a function f from V(G) to the set of all subsets of the set {1,2} such that for a vertex v ∈ V (G) with f(v) = ∅, thecondition $bigcup_{uin N_{G}(v)}f(u)={1,2}$ is fulfilled, wher NG(v) is the open neighborhoodof v. The weight of 2-RDF f of G is the value$omega (f):=sum _{vin V(G)}|f(v)|$. The 2-rainbowd...

Let $G=(V, E)$ be a simple graph with vertex set $V$ and edge set $E$. A {em mixed Roman dominating function} (MRDF) of $G$ is a function $f:Vcup Erightarrow {0,1,2}$ satisfying the condition that every element $xin Vcup E$ for which $f(x)=0$ is adjacentor incident to at least one element $yin Vcup E$ for which $f(y)=2$. The weight of anMRDF $f$ is $sum _{xin Vcup E} f(x)$. The mi...

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph $G$ is a function $f : V (G) to {0, 1, 2}$satisfying the condition that every vertex $u$ for which $f(u) = 0$ is adjacent to at least onevertex $v$ for which $f(v) = 2$.
