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 a graph G, a positive integer k, k ≥ 2, and a non-negative integer with z < k and z 6= 1, a subset D of the vertex set V (G) is said to be a non-z (mod k) dominating set if D is a dominating set and for all x ∈ V (G), |N [x] ∩ D| 6≡ z (mod k). For the case k = 2 and z = 0, it has been shown that these sets exist for all graphs. The problem for k ≥ 3 is unknown (the existence for even values...

For a positive integer k, a total {k}-dominating function of a graph G without isolated vertices is a function f from the vertex set V (G) to the set {0, 1, 2, . . . , k} such that for any vertex v ∈ V (G), the condition ∑ u∈N(v) f(u) ≥ k is fulfilled, where N(v) is the open neighborhood of v. The weight of a total {k}-dominating function f is the value ω(f) = ∑ v∈V f(v). The total {k}-dominati...

Let G = (V, E) be a graph without isolated vertices. A set D ⊆ V is a d-distance paired-dominating set of G if D is a d-distance dominating set of G and the induced subgraph 〈D〉 has a perfect matching. The minimum cardinality of a d-distance paired-dominating set for graph G is the d-distance paired-domination number, denoted by γd p(G). In this paper, we study the ddistance paired-domination n...

A k-dominating set is a set D k V such that every vertex i 2 V nD k has at least k i neighbours in D k. The k-domination number k (G) of G is the cardinality of a smallest k-dominating set of G. For k 1 = ::: = k n = 1, k-domination corresponds to the usual concept of domination. Our approach yields an improvement of an upper bound for the domination number found then the conception of k-domina...

In this paper, we propose a novel type of probabilistic threshold top-k queries on uncertain data, and give an exact algorithm. More details can be found in [4]. I. PROBABILISTIC THRESHOLD TOP-k QUERIES We consider uncertain data in the possible worlds semantics model [1], [5], [7], which is also adopted by some recent studies on uncertain data processing, such as [8], [2], [6]. Generally, an u...

A k-extended Skolem-type 5-tuple difference set of order t is a set of t 5-tuples {(di,1, di,2, di,3, di,4, di,5) | i = 1, 2, . . . , t} such that di,1+di,2+di,3+di,4+di,5 = 0 for 1 ≤ i ≤ t and {|di,j| | 1 ≤ i ≤ t, 1 ≤ j ≤ 5} = {1, 2, . . . , 5t+1}\{k}. In this talk, we will give necessary and sufficient conditions on t and k for the existence of a k-extended Skolem-type 5-tuple difference set ...

Suppose G = (V , E) is a simple graph and k is a fixed positive integer. A subset D ⊆ V is a distance k-dominating set of G if for every u ∈ V , there exists a vertex v ∈ D such that dG(u, v) ≤ k, where dG(u, v) is the distance between u and v in G. A set D ⊆ V is a distance k-paired-dominating set of G if D is a distance k-dominating set and the induced subgraph G[D] contains a perfect matchin...
