We explore a reconfiguration version of the dominating set problem, where a dominating set in a graph G is a set S of vertices such that each vertex is either in S or has a neighbour in S. In a reconfiguration problem, the goal is to determine whether there exists a sequence of feasible solutions connecting given feasible solutions s and t such that each pair of consecutive solutions is adjacen...

Continuing work by B acso and Tuza and Cozzens and Kelleher, we investigate dominating sets which induce subgraphs with small clique covering number, or small independence number. We show that if a graph G is connected and contains no induced subgraph isomorphic to P6 or Ht (the graph obtained by subdividing each edge of K1;t; t 3), then G has a dominating set which induces a connected graph wi...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs), consist of small nodes with sensing, computation, and wireless communications capabilities, are now widely used in many applications, including environment and habitat monitoring, traffic control, and etc. Routing in WSNs is very challenging due to the inherent characteristics that distinguish these networks from other wireless networks like mobile ad hoc networ...

In 1996, Matheson and Tarjan conjectured that any n-vertex triangulation with n sufficiently large has a dominating set of size at most n/4. We prove this for graphs of maximum degree 6.

for every positive integer k, a set s of vertices in a graph g = (v;e) is a k- tuple dominating set of g if every vertex of v -s is adjacent to at least k vertices and every vertex of s is adjacent to at least k - 1 vertices in s. the minimum cardinality of a k-tuple dominating set of g is the k-tuple domination number of g. when k = 1, a k-tuple domination number is the well-studied domination...

A dominating set S of a graph is a metric-locating-dominating set if each vertex of the graph is uniquely distinguished by its distances from the elements of S, and the minimum cardinality of such a set is called the metric-locationdomination number. In this paper, we undertake a study that, in general graphs and specific families, relates metric-locating-dominating sets to other special sets: ...
