‎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...

Domination is a rapidly developing area of research in graph theory, and its various applications to ad hoc networks, distributed computing, social networks and web graphs partly explain the increased interest. This thesis focuses on domination theory, and the main aim of the study is to apply a probabilistic approach to obtain new upper bounds for various domination parameters. Chapters 2 and ...

Let $kge 1$ be an integer, and let $G$ be a finite and simple graph with vertex set $V(G)$.A weak signed Roman $k$-dominating function (WSRkDF) on a graph $G$ is a function$f:V(G)rightarrow{-1,1,2}$ satisfying the conditions that $sum_{xin N[v]}f(x)ge k$ for eachvertex $vin V(G)$, where $N[v]$ is the closed neighborhood of $v$. The weight of a WSRkDF $f$ is$w(f)=sum_{vin V(G)}f(v)$. The weak si...

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...

For any $k in mathbb{N}$, the $k$-subdivision of graph $G$ is a simple graph $G^{frac{1}{k}}$, 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 $m$th power of the $n$-subdivision of $G$ has been introduced as a fractional power of $G$, denoted by ...

A graph G with no isolated vertex is total domination vertex critical if for any vertex v of G that is not adjacent to a vertex of degree one, the total domination number of G− v is less than the total domination number of G. We call these graphs total domination critical or just γt-critical. If such a graph G has total domination number k, we call it k-γt-critical. We study an open problem of ...
