for a graph $g$ let $gamma (g)$ be its domination number. we define a graph g to be (i) a hypo-efficient domination graph (or a hypo-$mathcal{ed}$ graph) if $g$ has no efficient dominating set (eds) but every graph formed by removing a single vertex from $g$ has at least one eds, and (ii) a hypo-unique domination graph (a hypo-$mathcal{ud}$ graph) if $g$ has at least two minimum dominating sets...

Let G be a connected graph. For two vertices u and v in G, a u–v geodesic is any shortest path joining u and v. The closed geodetic interval IG[u, v] consists of all vertices of G lying on any u–v geodesic. For S ⊆ V (G), S is a geodetic set in G if ⋃ u,v∈S IG[u, v] = V (G). Vertices u and v of G are neighbors if u and v are adjacent. The closed neighborhood NG[v] of vertex v consists of v and ...

The study of various dominating set problems is an important area within graph theory. In applications, a dominating set in a system can be considered as an ideal place for allocating resources. And, a minimal dominating set allows allocating a smaller number of resources. Distance-versions of the concept of minimal dominating sets are more applicable to modeling real-world problems, such as pl...

‎a set $s$ of vertices of a graph $g=(v,e)$ without isolated vertex‎ ‎is a {em total dominating set} if every vertex of $v(g)$ is‎ ‎adjacent to some vertex in $s$‎. ‎the {em total domatic number} of‎ ‎a graph $g$ is the maximum number of total dominating sets into‎ ‎which the vertex set of $g$ can be partitioned‎. ‎we show that the‎ ‎total domatic number of a random $r$-regular graph is almost‎...

In a graph G, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors. A subset S of V is called a dominating set in G if every vertex in V-S is adjacent to at least one vertex in S. The minimum cardinality taken over all, the minimal double dominating set which is called Fuzzy Double Domination Number and which is denoted as ) (G fdd  . A set V S  is called a Triple dominating set of a graph G if every ...

This paper studies Upper Domination, i.e., the problem of computing the maximum cardinality of a minimal dominating set in a graph with respect to classical and parameterised complexity as well as approximability.

Let. n ?: 1 be an integer and lei G = (V, E) be a graph. In this paper we study a non discrete generalization of l'n(G), the maximum cardinality of a minimal n-dominating sei in G. A real-valued function f : V -t [0,1] is n-dominating if for each v E V, the sum of the values assigned to the vertices in the closed n-neighbourhood of v, Nn[v], is at least one, i.e., f(Nn [ll]) ?: 1. The weight of...

This paper studies a nondiscrete generalization of T(G), the maximum cardinality of a minimal dominating set in a graph G = (K:E). In particular, a real-valued function f : V+ [0, l] is dominating if for each vertex DE V, the sum of the values assigned to the vertices in the closed neighborhood of u, N[o], is at least one, i.e., f (N[u]) 2 1. The weight of a dominating function f is f (V), the ...
