In this paper, we continue the study of the domination game in graphs introduced by Bre{v{s}}ar, Klav{v{z}}ar, and Rall. We study the paired-domination version of the domination game which adds a matching dimension to the game. This game is played on a graph $G$ by two players, named Dominator and Pairer. They alternately take turns choosing vertices of $G$ such that each vertex chosen by Domin...

a {em roman dominating function} on a graph $g = (v ,e)$ is a function $f : vlongrightarrow {0, 1, 2}$ satisfying the condition that every vertex $v$ for which $f (v) = 0$ is adjacent to at least one vertex $u$ for which $f (u) = 2$. the {em weight} of a roman dominating function is the value $w(f)=sum_{vin v}f(v)$. the roman domination number of a graph $g$, denoted by $gamma_r(g)$, equals the...

A paired dominating set $P$ is a with the additional property that has perfect matching. While maximum cardainality of minimal in graph $G$ called upper domination number $G$, denoted by $\Gamma(G)$, cardinality $\Gamma_{pr}(G)$. By Henning and Pradhan (2019), we know $\Gamma_{pr}(G)\leq 2\Gamma(G)$ for any without isolated vertices. We focus on graphs satisfying equality $\Gamma_{pr}(G)= 2\Gam...

In this paper, we continue the study of the domination game in graphs introduced by Brešar, Klavžar, and Rall [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 24 (2010) 979–991]. We study the total version of the domination game and show that these two versions differ significantly. We present a key lemma, known as the Total Continuation Principle, to compare the Dominator-start total domination game and the Staller-st...

A dominating set of a graph G is a vertex subset that any vertex of G either belongs to or is adjacent to. A total dominating set is a dominating set whose induced subgraph does not contain isolated vertices. The minimal size of a total dominating set, the total domination number, is denoted by γt. The maximal size of an inclusionwise minimal total dominating set, the upper total domination num...

Let G = (V,E) be a graph without isolated vertices. A set S ⊆ V is a paired-domination set if every vertex in V − S is adjacent to a vertex in S and the subgraph induced by S contains a perfect matching. The paired-domination problem is to determine the paired-domination number, which is the minimum cardinality of a paired-dominating set. Motivated by a mistaken algorithm given by Chen, Kang an...

Abstract A set S of vertices in a graph G is paired dominating if every vertex adjacent to and the subgraph induced by contains perfect matching (not necessarily as an subgraph). The domination number, $$\gamma _{\mathrm{pr}}(G)$$ γ pr ( G</mml:m...
