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

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.

for any $k in mathbb{n}$, the $k$-subdivision of graph $g$ is a simple graph $g^{frac{1}{k}}$, which is constructed by replacing each edge of $g$ with a path of length $k$. in [moharram n. iradmusa, on colorings of graph fractional powers, discrete math., (310) 2010, no. 10-11, 1551-1556] the $m$th power of the $n$-subdivision of $g$ has been introduced as a fractional power of $g$, denoted by ...

The rainbow game domination subdivision number of a graph G is defined by the following game. Two players D and A, D playing first, alternately mark or subdivide an edge of G which is not yet marked nor subdivided. The game ends when all the edges of G are marked or subdivided and results in a new graph G′. The purpose of D is to minimize the 2-rainbow dominating number γr2(G ′) of G′ while A t...

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

A set S of vertices in a graph G(V,E) is called a total dominating set if every vertex v ∈ V is adjacent to an element of S. The total domination number of a graph G denoted by γt(G) is the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set in G. Total domination subdivision number denoted by sdγt is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided to increase the total domination number. Here we...

A Roman dominating function of a graph G is a labeling f : V (G) −→ {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex with label 0 has a neighbor with label 2. The Roman domination number γR(G) of G is the minimum of ∑ v∈V (G) f(v) over such functions. The Roman domination subdivision number sdγR(G) is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (each edge in G can be subdivided at most once) in order t...

Two new domination parameters for a connected graph G: the weakly convex domination number of G and the convex domination number of G are introduced. Relations between these parameters and the other domination parameters are derived. In particular, we study for which cubic graphs the convex domination number equals the connected domination number.

A set D of vertices in a graph G = (V, E) is a weakly connected dominating set of G if D is dominating in G and the subgraph weakly induced by D is connected. The weakly connected domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a weakly connected dominating set of G. The weakly connected domination subdivision number of a connected graph G is the minimum number of edges that must be subdiv...
