The domatic number d(G) of a graph G = (V,E) is the maximum order of a partition of V into dominating sets. Such a partition Π = {D1, D2, . . . , Dd} is called a minimal dominating d-partition if Π contains the maximum number of minimal dominating sets, where the maximum is taken over all d-partitions of G. The minimal dominating d-partition number Λ(G) is the number of minimal dominating sets ...

Let S be the set of minimal dominating sets of graph G and U, W ⊂ S with U ⋃ W = S and U ⋂ W = ∅. A Smarandachely mediate-(U,W ) dominating graph D m(G) of a graph G is a graph with V (D m(G)) = V ′ = V ⋃ U and two vertices u, v ∈ V ′ are adjacent if they are not adjacent in G or v = D is a minimal dominating set containing u. particularly, if U = S and W = ∅, i.e., a Smarandachely mediate-(S, ...

Domination in graphs has been an extensively researched branch of graph theory. Graph theory is one of the most flourishing branches of modern mathematics and computer applications. An introduction and an extensive overview on domination in graphs and related topics is surveyed and detailed in the two books by Haynes et al. [ 1, 2]. Recently dominating functions in domination theory have receiv...

We consider the problem of incrementally computing a minimal dominating set of a directed graph after the insertion or deletion of a set of arcs. Earlier results have either focused on the study of the properties that minimum (not minimal) dominating sets preserved or lacked to investigate which update affects a minimal dominating set and in what ways. In this paper, we first show how to increm...

The concept of vague graph was introduced by Ramakrishna in [12]. A vague graph is a generalized structure of a fuzzy graph that gives more precision, flexibility, and compatibility to a system when compared with systems that are designed using fuzzy graphs. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of dominating set, perfect dominating set, minimal perfect dominating set and i...

A subset Q ⊆ V (G) is a dominating set of a graph G if each vertex in V (G) is either in Q or is adjacent to a vertex in Q. A dominating set Q of G is minimal if Q contains no dominating set of G as a proper subset. In this paper we study the number of minimal dominating sets in some classes of trees.

For an arbitrary undirected simple graph G with m edges, we give an algorithm with running time O(m|L|) to generate the set L of all minimal edge dominating sets of G. For bipartite graphs we obtain a better result; we show that their minimal edge dominating sets can be enumerated in time O(m|L|). In fact our results are stronger; both algorithms generate the next minimal edge dominating set wi...

We show that interval graphs on n vertices have at most 3 ≈ 1.4422 minimal dominating sets, and that these can be enumerated in time O∗(3n/3). As there are examples of interval graphs that actually have 3 minimal dominating sets, our bound is tight. We show that the same upper bound holds also for trees, i.e. trees on n vertices have at most 3 ≈ 1.4422 minimal dominating sets. The previous best...
