The convex domination number and the weakly convex domination number are new domination parameters. In this paper we show that the decision problems of convex and weakly convex dominating sets are NP -complete for bipartite and split graphs. Using a modified version of Warshall algorithm we can verify in polynomial time whether a given subset of vertices of a graph is convex or weakly convex.

In a graph G, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors. A subset S ⊆ V (G) is a 2-dominating set of G if S dominates every vertex of V (G) \ S at least twice. The 2-domination number γ2(G) is the minimum cardinality of a 2-dominating set of G. The 2-domination subdivision number sdγ2(G) is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (each edge in G can be subdivided at most once) in ...

The domination multisubdivision number of a nonempty graph G was defined in [3] as the minimum positive integer k such that there exists an edge which must be subdivided k times to increase the domination number of G. Similarly we define the total domination multisubdivision number msdγt(G) of a graph G and we show that for any connected graph G of order at least two, msdγt(G) ≤ 3. We show that...

A subset S ⊆ V (G) is a double dominating set of G if S dominates every vertex of G at least twice. The double domination number dd(G) is the minimum cardinality of a double dominating set of G. The double domination subdivision number sddd(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 double domination n...

The domination subdivision number sdγ(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided to increase the domination number of G. We present a simple characterization of trees with sdγ = 1 and a fast algorithm to determine whether a tree has this property.

The weakly connected domination subdivision number sdγw(G) of a connected graph G is the minimum number of edges which must be subdivided (where each edge can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the weakly connected domination number. The graph is strongγw-subdivisible if for each edge uv ∈ E(G) we have γw(Guv) > γw(G), where Guv is a graph G with subdivided edge uv. The graph is s...

For any k ∈ N, the k-subdivision of a graph G is a simple graph G 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 mth power of the n-subdivision of G has been introduced as a fractional power of G, denoted by G m n . In this regard, we investig...
