A set S of vertices in a graph G=(V,E) is a dominating set ofG if every vertex of V-S is adjacent to some vertex of S.For an integer k≥1, a set S of vertices is a k-step dominating set if any vertex of $G$ is at distance k from somevertex of S. In this paper, using membership values of vertices and edges in fuzzy graphs, we introduce the concepts of strength of strongestdominating set as well a...

in this paper we investigate the green‎ ‎graphs for the regular and inverse semigroups by considering the‎ ‎green classes of them‎. ‎and by using the properties of these‎ ‎semigroups‎, ‎we prove that all of the five green graphs for the‎ ‎inverse semigroups are isomorphic complete graphs‎, ‎while this‎ ‎doesn't hold for the regular semigroups‎. ‎in other words‎, ‎we prove‎ ‎that in a regular se...

matroids are important combinatorial structures and connect close-lywith graphs. matroids and graphs were all generalized to fuzzysetting respectively. this paper tries to study  connections betweenfuzzy matroids and fuzzy graphs. for a given fuzzy graph, we firstinduce a sequence of matroids  from a sequence of crisp graph, i.e.,cuts of the fuzzy graph. a fuzzy matroid, named graph fuzzy matro...

Let $G$ be a graph with eigenvalues $lambda_1(G)geqcdotsgeqlambda_n(G)$. In this paper we find all simple graphs $G$ such that $G$ has at most twelve vertices and $G$ has exactly two non-negative eigenvalues. In other words we find all graphs $G$ on $n$ vertices such that $nleq12$ and $lambda_1(G)geq0$, $lambda_2(G)geq0$ and $lambda_3(G)0$, $lambda_2(G)>0$ and $lambda_3(G)

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...

A defensive alliance in a graph is a set $S$ of vertices with the property that every vertex in $S$ has at most one moreneighbor outside of $S$ than it has inside of $S$. A defensive alliance $S$ is called global if it forms a dominating set. The global defensive alliance number of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a global defensive alliance in $G$. In this article we study the global ...
