let $g$ be a simple graph of order $n$‎. ‎we consider the‎ ‎independence polynomial and the domination polynomial of a graph‎ ‎$g$‎. ‎the value of a graph polynomial at a specific point can give‎ ‎sometimes a very surprising information about the structure of the‎ ‎graph‎. ‎in this paper we investigate independence and domination‎ ‎polynomial at $-1$ and $1$‎.

A graph $G$ is called $P_4$-free, if $G$ does not contain an induced subgraph $P_4$. The domination polynomial of a graph $G$ of order $n$ is the polynomial $D(G,x)=sum_{i=1}^{n} d(G,i) x^{i}$, where $d(G,i)$ is the number of dominating sets of $G$ of size $i$. Every root of $D(G,x)$ is called a domination root of $G$. In this paper we state and prove formula for the domination polynomial of no...

let $g$ be a simple graph of order $n$. the domination polynomial of $g$ is the polynomial $d(g, x)=sum_{i=gamma(g)}^{n} d(g,i) x^{i}$, where $d(g,i)$ is the number of dominating sets of $g$ of size $i$ and $gamma(g)$ is the domination number of $g$. in this paper we present some families of graphs whose domination polynomials are unimodal.

Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$. The domination polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial $D(G, x)=sum_{i=gamma(G)}^{n} d(G,i) x^{i}$, where $d(G,i)$ is the number of dominating sets of $G$ of size $i$ and $gamma(G)$ is the domination number of $G$. In this paper we present some families of graphs whose domination polynomials are unimodal.

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...

In this paper, we propose a new network reliability measure for some particular kind of service networks, which we refer to as domination reliability. We relate this new reliability measure to the domination polynomial of a graph and the coverage probability of a hypergraph. We derive explicit and recursive formulæ for domination reliability and its associated domination reliability polynomial,...

We introduce a domination polynomial of a graph G. The domination polynomial of a graph G of order n is the polynomial D(G, x) = ∑n 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. We obtain some properties of D(G, x) and its coefficients. Also we compute this polynomial for some specific graphs.

Let G = (V, E) be a simple graph. Hosoya polynomial of G is d(u,v) H(G, x) = {u,v}V(G)x , where, d(u ,v) denotes the distance between vertices u and v. As is the case with other graph polynomials, such as chromatic, independence and domination polynomial, it is natural to study the roots of Hosoya polynomial of a graph. In this paper we study the roots of Hosoya polynomials of some specific g...

A set D ⊆ V of a graph G = (V,E) is called a restrained dominating set of G if every vertex not in D is adjacent to a vertex in D and to a vertex in V \D. The MINIMUM RESTRAINED DOMINATION problem is to find a restrained dominating set of minimum cardinality. Given a graph G, and a positive integer k, the RESTRAINED DOMINATION DECISION problem is to decide whether G has a restrained dominating ...
