Given an edge-coloured graph, we say that a subgraph is rainbow if all of its edges have different colours. Let $\operatorname{ex}(n,H,$rainbow-$F)$ denote the maximal number copies $H$ properly graph on $n$ vertices can contain it has no isomorphic to $F$. We determine order magnitude $\operatorname{ex}(n,C_s,$rainbow-$C_t)$ for $s,t$ with $s\not =3$. In particular, answer question Gerbner, M\...

In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of an efficient 2-dominating set in a class of circulant graphs has been obtained and for those circulant graphs, an upper bound for the 2domination number is also obtained. For the circulant graphs Cir(n,A), where A = {1, 2, . . . , x, n − 1, n − 2, . . . , n − x} and x ≤ bn−1 2 c, the perfect 2-tuple total domination number...

Let G = (V,E) be a graph. The distance between two vertices u and v in a connected graph G is the length of the shortest (u−v) path in G. A set D ⊆ V (G) is a dominating set if every vertex of G is at distance at most 1 from an element of D. The domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G. A set D ⊆ V (G) is a 2-distance dominating set if every vertex of G is at d...

The power system monitoring problem asks for as few as possible measurement devices to be put in an electric power system. The problem has a graph theory model involving power dominating sets in graphs. The power domination number γP (G) of G is the minimum cardinality of a power dominating set. Dorfling and Henning [2] determined the power domination number of the Cartesian product of paths. I...

A subset X of edges of a graph G is called an edge dominating set of G if every edge not in X is adjacent to some edge in X . The edge domination number γ′(G) of G is the minimum cardinality taken over all edge dominating sets of G. An edge Roman dominating function of a graph G is a function f : E(G) → {0, 1, 2} such that every edge e with f(e) = 0 is adjacent to some edge e′ with f(e′) = 2. T...

In this paper, we provide an upper bound for the k-tuple domination number that generalises known upper bounds for the double and triple domination numbers. We prove that for any graph G, ×k(G) ln( − k + 2)+ ln(∑k−1 m=1(k −m)d̂m + )+ 1 − k + 2 n, where ×k(G) is the k-tuple domination number; is the minimal degree; d̂m is the m-degree of G; = 1 if k = 1 or 2 and =−d if k 3; d is the average degree...

Given a configuration of pebbles on the vertices of a connected graph G, a pebbling move is defined as the removal of two pebbles from some vertex, and the placement of one of these on an adjacent vertex. We introduce the notion of domination cover pebbling, obtained by combining graph cover pebbling ([2]) with the theory of domination in graphs ([3]). The domination cover pebbling number, ψ(G)...

The k-tuple domination problem, for a fixed positive integer k, is to find a minimum size vertex subset such that every vertex in the graph is dominated by at least k vertices in this set. The case when k 2 is called 2-tuple domination problem or double domination problem. In this paper, the 2-tuple domination problem is studied on interval graphs from an algorithmic point of view, which takes ...

The domination polynomial of a graph G of order n is the polynomial D(G, x) = Pn i=γ(G) d(G, i)x , where d(G, i) is the number of dominating sets of G of size i, and γ(G) is the domination number of G. In this paper, we obtain some properties of the coefficients of D(G, x). Also, by study of the dominating sets and the domination polynomials of specific graphs denoted by G′(m), we obtain a rela...

Let $G$ be a simple graph with vertex set $V$. A double Roman dominating function (DRDF) on $G$ is a function $f:Vrightarrow{0,1,2,3}$ satisfying that if $f(v)=0$, then the vertex $v$ must be adjacent to at least two vertices assigned $2$ or one vertex assigned $3$ under $f$, whereas if $f(v)=1$, then the vertex $v$ must be adjacent to at least one vertex assigned $2$ or $3$. The weight of a DR...
