A graph is 2-stratified if its vertex set is partitioned into two classes, where the vertices in one class are colored red and those in the other class are colored blue. Let F be a 2-stratified graph rooted at some blue vertex v. An F -coloring of a graph G is a red-blue coloring of the vertices of G in which every blue vertex v belongs to a copy of F rooted at v. The F -domination number γF (G...

A path in an edge colored graph is said to be a rainbow path if no two edges on the path have the same color. An edge colored graph is (strongly) rainbow connected if there exists a (geodesic) rainbow path between every pair of vertices. The (strong) rainbow connectivity of a graph G, denoted by (src(G), respectively) rc(G) is the smallest number of colors required to edge color the graph such ...

The weakly connected domination subdivision number sdγw(G) of a connected graph G is the minimum number of edges which must be subdivided (where each edge can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the weakly connected domination number. The graph is strongγw-subdivisible if for each edge uv ∈ E(G) we have γw(Guv) > γw(G), where Guv is a graph G with subdivided edge uv. The graph is s...

An edge-coloured path is rainbow if the colours of its edges are distinct. For a positive integer k, an edge-colouring of a graph G is rainbow k-connected if any two vertices of G are connected by k internally vertex-disjoint rainbow paths. The rainbow k-connection number rck(G) is defined to be the minimum integer t such that there exists an edge-colouring of G with t colours which is rainbow ...

During the last thirty years, the concept of domination in graphs has generated an impressive interest. A recent bibliography on the subject contains more than 1200 references and the number of new definitions is continually increasing. Rather than trying to give a catalogue of all of them, we survey the most classical and important notions (as independent domination, irredundant domination, k-...

Let G be a nontrivial connected graph with an edge-coloring c : E(G) → {1, 2, . . . , q}, q ∈ N, where adjacent edges may be colored the same. A tree T in G is called a rainbow tree if no two edges of T receive the same color. For a vertex set S ⊆ V (G), a tree that connects S in G is called an S-tree. The minimum number of colors that are needed in an edge-coloring of G such that there is a ra...

A path in an edge-colored graph is called a rainbow path if the edges on it have distinct colors. For k ≥ 1, the rainbow-k-connectivity of a graph G, denoted rck(G), is the minimum number of colors required to color the edges of G in such a way that every two distinct vertices are connected by at least k internally vertex-disjoint rainbow paths. In this paper, we study rainbow-k-connectivity in...
