چکیده

Given a graph G = (V,E) together with a nonnegative integer requirement on vertices r : V → Z+, the annotated edge dominating set problem is to find a minimum set M ⊆ E such that, each edge in E −M is adjacent to some edge in M , and M contains at least r(v) edges incident on each vertex v ∈ V . The annotated edge dominating set problem is a natural extension of the classical edge dominating set problem, in which the requirement on vertices is zero. The edge dominating set problem is an important graph problem and has been extensively studied. It is well known that the problem is NP-hard, even when the graph is restricted to a planar or bipartite graph with maximum degree 3. In this paper, we show that the annotated edge dominating set problem in graphs with maximum degree 3 can be solved in O∗(1.2721n) time and polynomial space, where n is the number of vertices in the graph. We also show that there is an O∗(2.2306k)-time polynomial-space algorithm to decide whether a graph with maximum degree 3 has an annotated edge dominating set of size k or not.

On the signed Roman edge k-domination in graphs

Let $kgeq 1$ be an integer, and $G=(V,E)$ be a finite and simplegraph. The closed neighborhood $N_G[e]$ of an edge $e$ in a graph$G$ is the set consisting of $e$ and all edges having a commonend-vertex with $e$. A signed Roman edge $k$-dominating function(SREkDF) on a graph $G$ is a function $f:E rightarrow{-1,1,2}$ satisfying the conditions that (i) for every edge $e$of $G$, $sum _{xin N[e]} f...

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...

Efficient Enumeration-Based Exact Algorithms

We analyze edge dominating set from a parameterized perspective. More specifically, we prove that this problem is in FPT for general (weighted) graphs. The corresponding algorithms rely on enumeration techniques. In particular, we show how the use of compact representations may speed up the decision algorithm.

ON THE EDGE COVER POLYNOMIAL OF CERTAIN GRAPHS

Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$ and size $m$.The edge covering of $G$ is a set of edges such that every vertex of $G$ is incident to at least one edge of the set. The edge cover polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial$E(G,x)=sum_{i=rho(G)}^{m} e(G,i) x^{i}$,where $e(G,i)$ is the number of edge coverings of $G$ of size $i$, and$rho(G)$ is the edge covering number of $G$. In this paper we stud...
