Let G be a connected graph with vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G). A (defensive) alliance in G is a subset S of V (G) such that for every vertex v ∈ S, |N [v]∩S| ≥ |N(v)∩(V (G)− S)|. The alliance partition number, ψa(G), was defined (and further studied in [11]) to be the maximum number of sets in a partition of V (G) such that each set is a (defensive) alliance. Similarly, ψg(G) is the maximu...
