Let $A$ and $B$ be two disjoint subsets of the vertex set $V$ of a graph $G$. The set $A$ is said to dominate $B$, denoted by $A rightarrow B$, if for every vertex $u in B$ there exists a vertex $v in A$ such that $uv in E(G)$. For any graph $G$, a partition $pi = {V_1,$ $V_2,$ $ldots,$ $V_p}$ of the vertex set $V$ is an textit{upper domatic partition} if $V_i rightarrow V_j$ or $V_j rightarrow...

A dominating set of a graph G =( P’, E) is a subset D of Vsuch that every vertex not in D is adjacent to some vertex in D. The domatic number d(G) of G is the maximum positive integer k such that V can be partitioned into k pairwise disjoint dominating sets. The purpose of this paper is to study the domatic numbers of graphs that are obtained from small graphs by performing graph operations, su...

for every positive integer k, a set s of vertices in a graph g = (v;e) is a k- tuple dominating set of g if every vertex of v -s is adjacent to at least k vertices and every vertex of s is adjacent to at least k - 1 vertices in s. the minimum cardinality of a k-tuple dominating set of g is the k-tuple domination number of g. when k = 1, a k-tuple domination number is the well-studied domination...

For a positive integer k, a k-rainbow dominating function of a graph G is a function f from the vertex set V (G) to the set of all subsets of the set {1, 2, . . . , k} such that for any vertex v ∈ V (G) with f(v) = ∅ the condition ⋃ u∈N(v) f(u) = {1, 2, . . . , k} is fulfilled, where N(v) is the neighborhood of v. The 1-rainbow domination is the same as the ordinary domination. A set {f1, f2, ....
