A set S of vertices of a graphG = (V,E) is a dominating set if every vertex of V (G)\S is adjacent to some vertex in S. The domination number γ(G) is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G. The domination subdivision number sdγ(G) is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (each edge in G can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the domination number. Velammal ...

We study the parameterized complexity of domination-type problems. (σ, ρ)-domination is a general and unifying framework introduced by Telle: a set D of vertices of a graph G is (σ, ρ)dominating if for any v ∈ D, |N(v) ∩ D| ∈ σ and for any v / ∈ D, |N(v) ∩ D| ∈ ρ. We mainly show that for any σ and ρ the problem of (σ, ρ)-domination is W[2] when parameterized by the size of the dominating set. T...

Let Y be a subset of real numbers. A Y dominating function of a graph G = (V, E) is a function f : V → Y such that u∈NG[v] f(u) ≥ 1 for all vertices v ∈ V , where NG[v] = {v} ∪ {u|(u, v) ∈ E}. Let f(S) = u∈S f(u) for any subset S of V and let f(V ) be the weight of f . The Y -domination problem is to find a Y -dominating function of minimum weight for a graph. In this paper, we study the variat...

Decision making in the presence of multiple and conflicting objectives requires preference from the decision maker. The decision maker’s preferences give rise to a domination structure. Till now, most of the research has been focussed on the standard domination structure based on the Pareto-domination principle. However, various real world applications like medical image registration, financial...

A paired dominating set $P$ is a with the additional property that has perfect matching. While maximum cardainality of minimal in graph $G$ called upper domination number $G$, denoted by $\Gamma(G)$, cardinality $\Gamma_{pr}(G)$. By Henning and Pradhan (2019), we know $\Gamma_{pr}(G)\leq 2\Gamma(G)$ for any without isolated vertices. We focus on graphs satisfying equality $\Gamma_{pr}(G)= 2\Gam...

For a graph G = (V,E), a set D ⊆ V is called a semitotal dominating set of G if D is a dominating set of G, and every vertex in D is within distance 2 of another vertex of D. The Minimum Semitotal Domination problem is to find a semitotal dominating set of minimum cardinality. Given a graph G and a positive integer k, the Semitotal Domination Decision problem is to decide whether G has a semito...

Although restrained eaters try to limit their food intake, they often fail and indulge in exactly those foods that they want to avoid. A possible explanation is a temporal attentional bias for food cues. It could be that for these people food stimuli are processed relatively efficiently and require less attentional resources to enter awareness. Once a food stimulus has captured attention, it ma...

A dominating set of vertices S of a graph G is connected if the subgraph G[S] is connected. Let c(G) denote the size of any smallest connected dominating set in G. A graph G is k-connected-critical if c(G)= k, but if any edge e ∈ E(Ḡ) is added to G, then c(G+ e) k − 1. This is a variation on the earlier concept of criticality of edge addition with respect to ordinary domination where a graph G ...

This study examined biases in attention and memory toward body-related images among restrained (n=31) and unrestrained (n=29) eaters. Attentional allocation to images of thin and overweight bodies during a visual search task was measured by tracking participants' eyegaze. This task was followed by a recognition test assessing participants' memory for those images. Restrained and unrestrained ea...
