It is known that Moore digraphs of degree d > 1 and diameter k > 1 do not exist (see [16] or [4]). For degree 2, it has been shown that for diameter k ~ 3 there are no digraphs of order 'close' to, i.e., one less than, the Moore bound (14). For diameter 2, it is known that digraphs close to Moore bound exist for any degree because the line digraphs of complete digraphs are an example of such di...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we investigate domination number‎, ‎$gamma$‎, ‎as well‎ ‎as signed domination number‎, ‎$gamma_{_S}$‎, ‎of all cubic Cayley‎ ‎graphs of cyclic and quaternion groups‎. ‎In addition‎, ‎we show that‎ ‎the domination and signed domination numbers of cubic graphs depend‎ on each other‎.

We consider two general frameworks for multiple domination, which are called 〈r, s〉-domination and parametric domination. They generalise and unify {k}-domination, k-domination, total k-domination and k-tuple domination. In this paper, known upper bounds for the classical domination are generalised for the 〈r, s〉-domination and parametric domination numbers. These generalisations are based on t...

Divisible design digraphs are constructed from skew balanced generalized weighing matrices and Hadamard matrices. Commutative non-commutative association schemes shown to be attached the divisible digraphs.

The concepts of covering and matching in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs are introduced and obtained the relationship between them analogous to Gallai’s results in graphs. The notion of paired domination in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs is also studied. The strong paired domination number γspr of complete fuzzy graph and complete bipartite fuzzy graph is determined and obtained bounds for the s...

In this paper, skew ABC matrix and its energy are introduced for digraphs. Firstly, some fundamental spectral features of the digraphs established. Then upper lower bounds presented Further extremal determined attaining these bounds.

It is known that signed graphs with all cycles negative are those in which each block is a negative cycle or a single line. We now study the more difficult problem for signed digraphs. In particular we investigate the structure of those digraphs whose arcs can be signed (positive or negative) so that every (directed) cycle is negative. Such digraphs are important because they are associated wit...

Let D be a digraph, V (D) and A(D) will denote the sets of vertices and arcs of D, respectively. A (k, l)-kernel N of D is a k-independent (if u, v ∈ N , u 6= v, then d(u, v), d(v, u) ≥ k) and l-absorbent (if u ∈ V (D) − N then there exists v ∈ N such that d(u, v) ≤ l) set of vertices. A k-kernel is a (k, k− 1)-kernel. This work is a survey of results proving sufficient conditions for the exist...

Roman dominating function} on a digraph $D$ with vertex set $V(D)$ is a labeling$fcolon V(D)to {0, 1, 2}$such that every vertex with label $0$ has an in-neighbor with label $2$. A set ${f_1,f_2,ldots,f_d}$ ofRoman dominating functions on $D$ with the property that $sum_{i=1}^d f_i(v)le 2$ for each $vin V(D)$,is called a {em Roman dominating family} (of functions) on $D$....

It is known that Moore digraphs of degree d > 1 and diameter k > 1 do not exist (see 20] or 5]). Furthermore, for degree 2, it is shown that for k 3 there are no digraphs of order`close' to, i.e., one less than, Moore bound 18]. In this paper, we shall consider digraphs of diameter k, degree 3 and number of vertices one less than Moore bound. We give a necessary condition for the existence of s...
