The domatic number d(G) of a graph G = (V,E) is the maximum order of a partition of V into dominating sets. Such a partition Π = {D1, D2, . . . , Dd} is called a minimal dominating d-partition if Π contains the maximum number of minimal dominating sets, where the maximum is taken over all d-partitions of G. The minimal dominating d-partition number Λ(G) is the number of minimal dominating sets ...

Domination is a well-known graph theoretic concept due to its significant real-world applications in several domains, such as design and communication network analysis, coding theory, optimization. For connected ? = V , E ...

Let G be a graph. A total dominating set of G is a set S of vertices of G such that every vertex is adjacent to at least one vertex in S. The total domatic number of a graph is the maximum number of total dominating sets which partition the vertex set of G. In this paper we would like to characterize the cubic graphs with total domatic number at least two.

A signed Roman dominating function on the digraphD is a function f : V (D) −→ {−1, 1, 2} such that ∑ u∈N−[v] f(u) ≥ 1 for every v ∈ V (D), where N−[v] consists of v and all inner neighbors of v, and every vertex u ∈ V (D) for which f(u) = −1 has an inner neighbor v for which f(v) = 2. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of distinct signed Roman dominating functions on D with the property that ∑d i=1 fi(...

Given a set N with n elements and a family F of subsets, we show how to partition N into k such subsets in 2nnO(1) time. We also consider variations of this problem where the subsets may overlap or are weighted, and we solve the decision, counting, summation, and optimisation versions of these problems. Our algorithms are based on the principle of inclusion–exclusion and the zeta transform. In ...
