For a graph $G$ let $gamma (G)$ be its domination number. We define a graph G to be (i) a hypo-efficient domination graph (or a hypo-$mathcal{ED}$ graph) if $G$ has no efficient dominating set (EDS) but every graph formed by removing a single vertex from $G$ has at least one EDS, and (ii) a hypo-unique domination graph (a hypo-$mathcal{UD}$ graph) if $G$ has at least two minimum dominating sets...

We consider a graph-based model for the study of parallelism in ciliate gene assembly, where a signed graph is associated to each micronuclear gene and the gene assembly is modeled as a graph rewriting process. A natural measure of complexity for gene assembly counts the minimal number of parallel steps needed to reduce the associated signed graph. We investigate the complexity of several class...

A Smarandachely k-signed graph (Smarandachely k-marked graph) is an ordered pair S = (G,σ) (S = (G,μ)), where G = (V, E) is a graph called the underlying graph of S and σ : E → (e1, e2, · · · , ek) (μ : V → (e1, e2, · · · , ek)) is a function, where each ei ∈ {+,−}. Particularly, a Smarandachely 2-singed graph or 2-marked graph is called abbreviated to a singed graph or a marked graph. We chara...

The total graph is built by joining the to its line means of incidences. We introduce a similar construction for signed graphs. Under two defnitions graph, we defne corresponding and show that it stable under switching. consider balance, frustration index number, largesteigenvalue. In regular case compute spectrum adjacency matrix spectra certain compositions, determine some with exactly main e...

Let $D$ be a finite simple digraph with vertex set $V(D)$ and arcset $A(D)$. A twin signed total Roman dominating function (TSTRDF) on thedigraph $D$ is a function $f:V(D)rightarrow{-1,1,2}$ satisfyingthe conditions that (i) $sum_{xin N^-(v)}f(x)ge 1$ and$sum_{xin N^+(v)}f(x)ge 1$ for each $vin V(D)$, where $N^-(v)$(resp. $N^+(v)$) consists of all in-neighbors (resp.out-neighbors) of $v$, and (...

Let D be a finite and simple digraph with vertex set V (D), and let f : V (D) → {−1, 1} be a two-valued function. If k ≥ 1 is an integer and x∈N−[v] f(x) ≥ k for each v ∈ V (D), where N−[v] consists of v and all vertices of D from which arcs go into v, then f is a signed k-dominating function on D. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of distinct signed k-dominating functions on D with the property that ...

A signed Roman dominating function on the digraphD is a function f : V (D) −→ {−1, 1, 2} such that ∑ u∈N−[v] f(u) ≥ 1 for every v ∈ V (D), where N−[v] consists of v and all inner neighbors of v, and every vertex u ∈ V (D) for which f(u) = −1 has an inner neighbor v for which f(v) = 2.

In this paper, we study both concepts of geodetic dominatingand edge geodetic dominating sets and derive some tight upper bounds onthe edge geodetic and the edge geodetic domination numbers. We also obtainattainable upper bounds on the maximum number of elements in a partitionof a vertex set of a connected graph into geodetic sets, edge geodetic sets,geodetic domin...
