The upper domatic number of powers of graphs

New results on upper domatic number of graphs

For a graph $G = (V, E)$, a partition $pi = {V_1,$ $V_2,$ $ldots,$ $V_k}$ of the vertex set $V$ is an textit{upper domatic partition} if $V_i$ dominates $V_j$ or $V_j$ dominates $V_i$ or both for every $V_i, V_j in pi$, whenever $i neq j$. The textit{upper domatic number} $D(G)$ is the maximum order of an upper domatic partition. We study the properties of upper domatic number and propose an up...

The Domatic Number of Regular Graphs

The domatic number of a graph G is the maximum number of dominating sets into which the vertex set of G can be partitioned. We show that the domatic number of a random r-regular graph is almost surely at most r, and that for 3-regular random graphs, the domatic number is almost surely equal to 3. We also give a lower bound on the domatic number of a graph in terms of order, minimum degree and m...

on the total domatic number of regular graphs

‎a set $s$ of vertices of a graph $g=(v,e)$ without isolated vertex‎ ‎is a {em total dominating set} if every vertex of $v(g)$ is‎ ‎adjacent to some vertex in $s$‎. ‎the {em total domatic number} of‎ ‎a graph $g$ is the maximum number of total dominating sets into‎ ‎which the vertex set of $g$ can be partitioned‎. ‎we show that the‎ ‎total domatic number of a random $r$-regular graph is almost‎...

Chromatic Transversal Domatic Number of Graphs

The chromatic number χ(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of colours required to colour the vertices of G in such a way that no two adjacent vertices of G receive the same colour. A partition of V into χ(G) independent sets (called colour classes) is said to be a χpartition of G. A set S ⊆ V is called a dominating set of G if every vertex in V − S is adjacent to a vertex in S. A dominating s...

Upper bounds on the signed total (k, k)-domatic number of graphs

Let G be a graph with vertex set V (G), and let f : V (G) −→ {−1, 1} be a two-valued function. If k ≥ 1 is an integer and ∑ x∈N(v) f(x) ≥ k for each v ∈ V (G), where N(v) is the neighborhood of v, then f is a signed total k-dominating function on G. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of distinct signed total k-dominating functions on G with the property that ∑d i=1 fi(x) ≤ k for each x ∈ V (G), is call...
