In this paper, we are concerned with the krainbow domination problem on generalized de Bruijn digraphs. We give an upper bound and a lower bound for the k-rainbow domination number in generalized de Bruijn digraphs GB(n, d). We also show that γrk(GB(n, d)) = k if and only if α 6 1, where n = d+α and γrk(GB(n, d)) is the k-rainbow domination number of GB(n, d).

A set $S = {u_1,u_2, ldots, u_t}$ of vertices of $G$ is an efficientdominating set if every vertex of $G$ is dominated exactly once by thevertices of $S$. Letting $U_i$ denote the set of vertices dominated by $u_i$%, we note that ${U_1, U_2, ldots U_t}$ is a partition of the vertex setof $G$ and that each $U_i$ contains the vertex $u_i$ and all the vertices atdistance~1 from it in $G$. In this ...

Let k be a positive integer. A vertex subset D of a graph G = (V,E) is a perfect k-dominating set of G if every vertex v of G, not in D, is adjacent to exactly k vertices of D. The minimum cardinality of a perfect k-dominating set of G is the perfect k-domination number γkp(G). In this paper, we generalize perfect domination to perfect k-domination, where many bounds of γkp(G) are obtained. We ...

Let G be a graph of order n ≥ 2 and n1, n2, .., nk be integers such that 1 ≤ n1 ≤ n2 ≤ .. ≤ nk and n1 + n2 + .. + nk = n. Let for i = 1, .., k: Ai ⊆ Kni where Km is the set of all pairwise non-isomorphic graphs of order m, m = 1, 2, ... In this paper we study when for a domination related parameter μ (such as domination number, independent domination number and acyclic domination number) is ful...

Let k be a positive integer and G be a connected graph. This paper considers the relations among four graph theoretical parameters: the k-domination number k(G), the connected k-domination number c k (G); the k-independent domination number i k (G) and the k-irredundance number irk(G). The authors prove that if an irk-set X is a k-independent set of G, then irk(G) = k(G) = k(G), and that for k ...

A set S of vertices of a graph G= (V ,E) with no isolated vertex is a total dominating set if every vertex of V (G) is adjacent to some vertex in S. The total domination number t(G) is the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set ofG. The total domination subdivision number sd t (G) is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided in order to increase the total domination number. We ...

A total dominating set of a graph G is a set D of vertices of G such that every vertex of G has a neighbor in D. A vertex of a graph is said to dominate itself and all of its neighbors. A double dominating set of a graph G is a set D of vertices of G such that every vertex of G is dominated by at least two vertices of D. The total (double, respectively) domination number of a graph G is the min...

An edge e ∈ E(G) dominates a vertex v ∈ V (G) if e is incident with v or e is incident with a vertex adjacent to v. An edge-vertex dominating set of a graph G is a set D of edges of G such that every vertex of G is edgevertex dominated by an edge of D. The edge-vertex domination number of a graph G is the minimum cardinality of an edge-vertex dominating set of G. A subset D ⊆ V (G) is a total d...

Let G be a simple graph without isolated vertices with vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G) and let k be a positive integer. A function f : E(G) −→ {±1,±2, . . . ,±k} is said to be a signed star {k}-dominating function on G if ∑ e∈E(v) f(e) ≥ k for every vertex v of G, where E(v) = {uv ∈ E(G) | u ∈ N(v)}. The signed star {k}-domination number of a graph G is γ{k}SS(G) = min{ ∑ e∈E f(e) | f is a S...

The domination game is played on an arbitrary graph $G$ by two players, Dominator and Staller. It is known that verifying whether the game domination number of a graph is bounded by a given integer $k$ is PSPACE-complete. On the other hand, it is showed in this paper that the problem can be solved for a graph $G$ in $mathcal O(Delta(G)cdot |V(G)|^k)$ time. In the special case when $k=3$ and the...
