let $r$ be a commutative ring and $m$ be an $r$-module with $t(m)$ as subset,   the set of torsion elements. the total graph of the module denoted   by $t(gamma(m))$, is the (undirected) graph with all elements of   $m$ as vertices, and for distinct elements  $n,m in m$, the   vertices $n$ and $m$ are adjacent if and only if $n+m in t(m)$. in this paper we   study the domination number of $t(ga...

A dominating set S of a graph G is a locating-dominating-set, LD-set for short, if every vertex v not in S is uniquely determined by the set of neighbors of v belonging to S. Locating-dominating sets of minimum cardinality are called LDcodes and the cardinality of an LD-code is the location-domination number, λ(G). An LD-set S of a graph G is global if it is an LD-set for both G and its complem...

The problem of monitoring an electric power system by placing as few measurement devices in the system as possible is closely related to the well known vertex covering and dominating set problems in graphs (see [T.W. Haynes, S.M. Hedetniemi, S.T. Hedetniemi, M.A. Henning, Power domination in graphs applied to electrical power networks, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 15(4) (2002) 519–529]). A set S of v...

In his article published in 1999, Ian Stewart discussed a strategy of Emperor Constantine for defending the Roman Empire. Motivated by this article, Cockayne et al.(2004) introduced the notion of Roman domination in graphs. Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A Roman dominating function of G is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex v for which f(v) = 0 has a neighbor u with f(u) = 2. The we...
