For a given connected graphG= (V ,E), a setDtr ⊆ V (G) is a total restrained dominating set if it is dominating and both 〈Dtr〉 and 〈V (G)−Dtr〉 do not contain isolate vertices. The cardinality of the minimum total restrained dominating set in G is the total restrained domination number and is denoted by tr(G). In this paper we characterize the trees with equal total and total restrained dominati...

a roman dominating function (rdf) on a graph g = (v,e) is defined to be a function 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 set s v is a restrained dominating set if every vertex not in s is adjacent to a vertex in s and to a vertex in . we define a restrained roman dominating function on a graph g = (v,e) to be ...

For a fixed positive integer k, a k-tuple total dominating set of a graph G is a subset D ⊆ V (G) such that every vertex of G is adjacent to at least k vertices in D. The k-tuple total domination problem is to determine a minimum k-tuple total dominating set of G. This paper studies k-tuple total domination from an algorithmic point of view. In particular, we present a linear-time algorithm for...

A set D ⊆ V of a graph G = (V,E) is called a restrained dominating set of G if every vertex not in D is adjacent to a vertex in D and to a vertex in V \D. The MINIMUM RESTRAINED DOMINATION problem is to find a restrained dominating set of minimum cardinality. Given a graph G, and a positive integer k, the RESTRAINED DOMINATION DECISION problem is to decide whether G has a restrained dominating ...

In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of an efficient 2-dominating set in a class of circulant graphs has been obtained and for those circulant graphs, an upper bound for the 2domination number is also obtained. For the circulant graphs Cir(n,A), where A = {1, 2, . . . , x, n − 1, n − 2, . . . , n − x} and x ≤ bn−1 2 c, the perfect 2-tuple total domination number...

We consider two general frameworks for multiple domination, which are called 〈r, s〉-domination and parametric domination. They generalise and unify {k}-domination, k-domination, total k-domination and k-tuple domination. In this paper, known upper bounds for the classical domination are generalised for the 〈r, s〉-domination and parametric domination numbers. These generalisations are based on t...

Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A set S ⊆ V is a total restrained dominating set if every vertex is adjacent to a vertex in S and every vertex of V − S is adjacent to a vertex in V − S. A set S ⊆ V is a restrained dominating set if every vertex in V − S is adjacent to a vertex in S and to a vertex in V − S. The total restrained domination number of G (restrained domination number of G, respectively),...

The inflated graph GI of a graph G with n(G) vertices is obtained from G by replacing every vertex of degree d of G by a clique, which is isomorph to the complete graph Kd, and each edge (xi, xj) of G is replaced by an edge (u, v) in such a way that u ∈ Xi, v ∈ Xj , and two different edges of G are replaced by non-adjacent edges of GI . For integer k ≥ 1, the k-tuple total domination number γ ×...
