Optimal Broadcast Domination of Arbitrary Graphs in Polynomial Time

چکیده
Broadcast domination was introduced by Erwin in 2002, and it is a variant of the standard dominating set problem, such that vertices can be assigned various domination powers. Broadcast domination assigns a power f(v) 0 to each vertex v of a given graph, such that every vertex of the graph is within distance f(v) from some vertex v having f(v) 1. The optimal broadcast domination problem seeks to minimize the sum of the powers assigned to the vertices of the graph. Since the presentation of this problem its computational complexity has been open, and the general belief has been that it might be NPhard. In this paper, we show that optimal broadcast domination is actually in P, and we give a polynomial time algorithm for solving the problem on arbitrary graphs.

Optimal broadcast domination in polynomial time
Broadcast domination was introduced by Erwin in 2002, and it is a variant of the standard dominating set problem, such that different vertices can be assigned different domination powers. Broadcast domination assigns an integer power f(v) ≥ 0 to each vertex v of a given graph, such that every vertex of the graph is within distance f(v) from some vertex v having f(v) ≥ 1. The optimal broadcast d...
متن کاملTOTAL 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...
متن کاملOn the domination polynomials of non P4-free graphs
A graph $G$ is called $P_4$-free, if $G$ does not contain an induced subgraph $P_4$. The domination polynomial of a graph $G$ of order $n$ is the polynomial $D(G,x)=sum_{i=1}^{n} d(G,i) x^{i}$, where $d(G,i)$ is the number of dominating sets of $G$ of size $i$. Every root of $D(G,x)$ is called a domination root of $G$. In this paper we state and prove formula for the domination polynomial of no...
متن کاملBroadcast Domination Algorithms for Interval Graphs, Series-Parallel Graphs, and Trees
Broadcast domination assigns an integer value f(u) 0 to each vertex u of a given graph, such that every vertex u with f(u) = 0 is within distance f(v) from a vertex v with f(v) > 0. We can regard the vertices v with f(v) > 0 as broadcast stations, each having a transmission power that might be di erent from the powers of other stations. The optimal broadcast domination problem seeks to minimize...
متن کاملSome Families of Graphs whose Domination Polynomials are Unimodal
Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$. The domination polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial $D(G, x)=sum_{i=gamma(G)}^{n} d(G,i) x^{i}$, where $d(G,i)$ is the number of dominating sets of $G$ of size $i$ and $gamma(G)$ is the domination number of $G$. In this paper we present some families of graphs whose domination polynomials are unimodal.
