A function f de1ned on the vertices of a graph G = (V; E); f :V → {−1; 0; 1} is a minus dominating function if the sum of its values over any closed neighborhood is at least one. The weight of a minus dominating function is f(V ) = ∑ v∈V f(v). The minus domination number of a graph G, denoted by −(G), equals the minimum weight of a minus dominating function of G. In this paper, a sharp lower bo...

Given a graphG, the k-dominating graph ofG, Dk(G), is defined to be the graph whose vertices correspond to the dominating sets of G that have cardinality at most k. Two vertices in Dk(G) are adjacent if and only if the corresponding dominating sets of G differ by either adding or deleting a single vertex. The graph Dk(G) aids in studying the reconfiguration problem for dominating sets. In parti...

The present study provides the dietary intakes of macro elements (Ca, Mg, Na, K, P) and trace elements (Fe, Zn, Cu, Se) from the Italian total diet. The contribution of the most representative food groups of the total diet (cereals and cereal products, vegetables, fruit, milk and dairy products, meat and meat products, fish) to the daily intakes of these nutrients was also evaluated. The Italia...

In this paper we deal with the set of k-additive belief functions dominating a given capacity. We follow the line introduced by Chateauneuf and Jaffray for dominating probabilities and continued by Grabisch for general k-additive measures. First, we show that the conditions for the general k-additive case lead to a very wide class of functions and this makes that the properties obtained for pro...

We investigate in this paper the set of kadditive capacities dominating a given capacity, which we call the k-additive core. We study its structure through achievable families, which play the role of maximal chains in the classical case (k = 1), and show that associated capacities are elements (possibly a vertex) of the k-additive core when the capacity is (k+1)-monotone. As a particular case, ...

A subset S of nodes in a graph G is k-connected m-dominating set ((k , m)-cds) if the subgraph G[S] induced by and every $$v \in V {\setminus } S$$ has at least m neighbors S. In k -Connected -Dominating Set m)-CDS) problem, goal to find minimum weight (k, m)-cds node-weighted graph. For $$m \ge k$$ we obtain following approximation ratios. unit disk graphs improve ratio $$O(k \ln k)$$ Nutov (I...

A set S of vertices in a graph G = (V,E) is called a total k-distance dominating set if every vertex in V is within distance k of a vertex in S. A graph G is total k-distance domination-critical if γ t (G − x) < γ t (G) for any vertex x ∈ V (G). In this paper, we investigate some results on total k-distance domination-critical of graphs.
