A set D of vertices of a graph G is a dominating set if every vertex in V \D is adjacent to some vertex in D. The domination number γ(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G. The domination subdivision number of 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 domination number.

A set S of vertices of a graphG = (V,E) is a dominating set if every vertex of V (G)\S is adjacent to some vertex in S. The domination number γ(G) is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G. The domination subdivision number sdγ(G) is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (each edge in G can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the domination number.

let $g=(v,e)$ be a simple graph. a set $dsubseteq v$ is adominating set of $g$ if every vertex in $vsetminus d$ has atleast one neighbor in $d$. the distance $d_g(u,v)$ between twovertices $u$ and $v$ is the length of a shortest $(u,v)$-path in$g$. an $(u,v)$-path of length $d_g(u,v)$ is called an$(u,v)$-geodesic. a set $xsubseteq v$ is convex in $g$ ifvertices from all $(a, b)$-geodesics belon...

The complementary prism GG of a graph G is formed from the disjoint union of G and its complement G by adding the edges of a perfect matching between the corresponding vertices of G and G. A Roman dominating function on a graph G = (V,E) is a labeling f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex with label 0 is adjacent to a vertex with label 2. The Roman domination number γR(G) ofG is the mini...

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 Roman dominating function on a graph G is a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} 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. The weight of a Roman dominating function is the value f(V (G)) = ∑ u∈V (G) f(u). The Roman domination number γR(G) of G is the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on G. In this paper, we s...

We investigate a domination-like problem from the exact exponential algorithms viewpoint. The classical Dominating Set problem ranges among one of the most famous and studied NP -complete covering problems [6]. In particular, the trivial enumeration algorithm of runtime O∗(2n) 4 has been improved to O∗(1.4864n) in polynomial space, and O∗(1.4689n) with exponential space [9]. Many variants of th...

A Roman dominating function on a graphG is a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that every vertex u ∈ V (G) for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v ∈ V (G) for which f(v) = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is the value f(V (G)) = ∑ u∈V (G) f(u). The Roman domination number γR(G) of G is the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on G. A Ro...
