Abstract: The most widely used and well-known vulnerability measures of a connected graph are based on the neighbourhood concept. It takes into account neighbour-integrity, edge-integrity and accessibility number. In this work we define and examine common-neighbourhood of a connected graph as a new global connectivity measure. Our measure examines the neighbourhoods of all pairs of vertices of ...

Let G = (V,E) be a simple graph. A subset Dof V (G) is a (k, r)dominating set if for every vertexv ∈ V −D, there exists at least k vertices in D which are at a distance utmost r from v in [1]. The minimum cardinality of a (k, r)-dominating set of G is called the (k, r)-domination number of G and is denoted by γ(k,r)(G). In this paper, minimal (k, r)dominating sets are characterized. It is prove...

In this paper we initialize the study of independent domination in directed graphs. We show that an independent dominating set of an orientation of a graph is also an independent dominating set of the underlying graph, but that the converse is not true in general. We then prove existence and uniqueness theorems for several classes of digraphs including orientations of complete graphs, paths, tr...

For any integer k ≥ 1, a signed (total) k-dominating function is a function f : V (G) → {−1, 1} satisfying w∈N [v] f(w) ≥ k ( P w∈N(v) f(w) ≥ k) for every v ∈ V (G), where N(v) = {u ∈ V (G)|uv ∈ E(G)} and N [v] = N(v)∪{v}. The minimum of the values ofv∈V (G) f(v), taken over all signed (total) k-dominating functions f, is called the signed (total) k-domination number and is denoted by γkS(G) (γ...

An upper dominating set in a graph is a minimal (with respect to set inclusion) dominating set of maximum cardinality. The problem of finding an upper dominating set is NP-hard for general graphs and in many restricted graph families. In the present paper, we study the computational complexity of this problem in monogenic classes of graphs (i.e. classes defined by a single forbidden induced sub...

Researchers propose Connected Dominating Set (CDS) of graphs in which each node in the cluster wireless network cover via dominating neighbors, define many dominating sets such as strongly connected dominating sets and weakly connected dominating sets etc. In this paper, we extend the dominative capacity of nodes such that each node dominates not only itself and all its adjacent neighbors compl...

This paper surveys recent development of concepts related to coloring signed graphs. Various approaches are presented and discussed.

Let G be a graph on n vertices and m edges. An edge is written xy (equivalently yx). A dominating set in G is a set of vertices D such that every vertex of G is either in D or is adjacent to some vertex of D. It is said to be minimal if it does not contain any other dominating set as a proper subset. For every vertex x let N [x] be {x} ∪ {y | xy ∈ E}, and for every S ⊆ V let N [S] := ⋃ x∈S N [x...
