In an efficient design of routing protocols in ad hoc wireless networks, the connected dominating set (CDS) is widely used as a virtual backbone. To construct the CDS with its size as minimum, many heuristic, meta-heuristic, greedy, approximation and distributed algorithmic approaches have been proposed in the recent years. These approaches mostly concentrated on deriving independent set and th...

For a graph G = (V, E), a set S ⊆ V (G) is a total dominating set if it is dominating and both 〈S〉 has no isolated vertices. The cardinality of a minimum total dominating set in G is the total domination number. A set S ⊆ V (G) is a total restrained dominating set if it is total dominating and 〈V (G) − S〉 has no isolated vertices. The cardinality of a minimum total restrained dominating set in ...

‎For any integer $kgeq 1$‎, ‎a set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a $k$-‎tuple total dominating set of $G$ if any vertex‎ ‎of $G$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in $S$‎, ‎and any vertex‎ ‎of $V-S$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in $V-S$‎. ‎The minimum number of vertices of such a set‎ ‎in $G$ we call the $k$-tuple total restrained domination number of $G$‎. ‎The maximum num...

For a graph G = (V,E), a set D ⊆ V (G) is a total restrained dominating set if it is a dominating set and both 〈D〉 and 〈V (G)−D〉 do not have isolated vertices. The cardinality of a minimum total restrained dominating set in G is the total restrained domination number. A set D ⊆ V (G) is a restrained dominating set if it is a dominating set and 〈V (G) − D〉 does not contain an isolated vertex. Th...

Let $G = (V, E)$ be a simple graph of order $n$. The total dominating set is a subset $D$ of $V$ that every vertex of $V$ is adjacent to some vertices of $D$. The total domination number of $G$ is equal to minimum cardinality of total dominating set in $G$ and denoted by $gamma_t(G)$. The total domination polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial $D_t(G,x)=sum d_t(G,i)$, where $d_t(G,i)$ is the numbe...

‎It is a well-known fact that finding a minimum dominating set and consequently the domination number of a general graph is an NP-complete problem‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we first model it as a nonlinear binary optimization problem and then extract two closely related semidefinite relaxations‎. ‎For each of these relaxations‎, ‎different rounding algorithm is exp...

A {em Roman dominating function} on a graph $G$ is a function $f:V(G)rightarrow {0,1,2}$ satisfying the condition that every vertex $u$ for which $f(u)=0$ is adjacent to at least one vertex $v$ for which $f(v)=2$. A {em total Roman dominating function} is a Roman dominating function with the additional property that the subgraph of $G$ induced by the set of all vertices of positive weight has n...

A total dominating set of a graph G = (V,E) is a subset D ⊆ V such that every vertex in V is adjacent to some vertex in D. Finding a total dominating set of minimum size is NPcomplete on planar graphs and W [2]-complete on general graphs when parameterized by the solution size. By the meta-theorem of Bodlaender et al. [FOCS 2009], it follows that there exists a linear kernel for Total Dominatin...

a dominating set $d subseteq v$ of a graph $g = (v,e)$ is said to be a connected cototal dominating set if $langle d rangle$ is connected and $langle v-d rangle neq phi$, contains no isolated vertices. a connected cototal dominating set is said to be minimal if no proper subset of $d$ is connected cototal dominating set. the connected cototal domination number $gamma_{ccl}(g)$ of $g$ is the min...
