A subset $S$ of vertex set $V(D)$ is an {em indpendent dominating set} of $D$ if $S$ is both an independent and a dominating set of $D$. The {em indpendent domination number}, $i(D)$ is the cardinality of the smallest independent dominating set of $D$. In this paper we calculate the independent domination number of the { em cartesian product} of two {em directed paths} $P_m$ and $P_n$ for arbi...

In this paper we initialize the study of independent domination in directed graphs. We show that an independent dominating set of an orientation of a graph is also an independent dominating set of the underlying graph, but that the converse is not true in general. We then prove existence and uniqueness theorems for several classes of digraphs including orientations of complete graphs, paths, tr...

A set S ⊆ V of vertices in a graph G = (V,E) is called a dominating set if every vertex in V −S is adjacent to a vertex in S. A dominating set which intersects every maximum independent set in G is called an independent transversal dominating set. The minimum cardinality of an independent transversal dominating set is called the independent transversal domination number of G and is denoted by γ...
