We determine upper bounds for $γ(Qn^t)$ and $i(Qₙ^t)$, the domination and independent domination numbers, respectively, of the graph $Qₙ^t$ obtained from the moves of queens on the n×n chessboard drawn on the torus.
A graph G is called a prism fixer if γ(G×K₂) = γ(G), where γ(G) denotes the domination number of G. A symmetric γ-set of G is a minimum dominating set D which admits a partition D = D₁∪ D₂ such that $V(G)-N[D_i] = D_j$, i,j = 1,2, i ≠ j. It is known that G is a prism fixer if and only if G has a symmetric γ-set. Hartnell and Rall [On dominating the Cartesian product of a graph and K₂, Discuss. Math. Graph Theory 24 (2004), 389-402] conjectured that if G is a connected, bipartite graph such that V(G) can be partitioned into symmetric γ-sets, then G ≅ C₄ or G can be obtained from $K_{2t,2t}$ by removing the edges of t vertex-disjoint 4-cycles. We construct a counterexample to this conjecture and prove an alternative result on the structure of such bipartite graphs.
A secure (total) dominating set of a graph G = (V,E) is a (total) dominating set X ⊆ V with the property that for each u ∈ V-X, there exists x ∈ X adjacent to u such that $(X-{x}) ∪ {u}$ is (total) dominating. The smallest cardinality of a secure (total) dominating set is the secure (total) domination number $γ_s(G)(γ_{st}(G))$. We characterize graphs with equal total and secure total domination numbers. We show that if G has minimum degree at least two, then $γ_{st}(G) ≤ γ_s(G)$. We also show that $γ_{st}(G)$ is at most twice the clique covering number of G, and less than three times the independence number. With the exception of the independence number bound, these bounds are sharp.
The paired domination number $γ_{pr}(G)$ of a graph G is the smallest cardinality of a dominating set S of G such that ⟨S⟩ has a perfect matching. The generalized prisms πG of G are the graphs obtained by joining the vertices of two disjoint copies of G by |V(G)| independent edges. We provide characterizations of the following three classes of graphs: $γ_{pr}(πG) = 2γ_{pr}(G)$ for all πG; $γ_{pr}(K₂☐ G) = 2γ_{pr}(G)$; $γ_{pr}(K₂☐ G) = γ_{pr}(G)$.
Let G ☐ H denote the Cartesian product of the graphs G and H. In 2004, Hartnell and Rall [On dominating the Cartesian product of a graph and K₂, Discuss. Math. Graph Theory 24(3) (2004), 389-402] characterized prism fixers, i.e., graphs G for which γ(G ☐ K₂) = γ(G), and noted that γ(G ☐ Kₙ) ≥ min{|V(G)|, γ(G)+n-2}. We call a graph G a consistent fixer if γ(G ☐ Kₙ) = γ(G)+n-2 for each n such that 2 ≤ n < |V(G)|- γ(G)+2, and characterize this class of graphs. Also in 2004, Burger, Mynhardt and Weakley [On the domination number of prisms of graphs, Dicuss. Math. Graph Theory 24(2) (2004), 303-318] characterized prism doublers, i.e., graphs G for which γ(G ☐ K₂) = 2γ(G). In general γ(G ☐ Kₙ) ≤ nγ(G) for any n ≥ 2. We call a graph attaining equality in this bound a Cartesian n-multiplier and also characterize this class of graphs.
For a permutation π of the vertex set of a graph G, the graph π G is obtained from two disjoint copies G₁ and G₂ of G by joining each v in G₁ to π(v) in G₂. Hence if π = 1, then πG = K₂×G, the prism of G. Clearly, γ(G) ≤ γ(πG) ≤ 2 γ(G). We study graphs for which γ(K₂×G) = 2γ(G), those for which γ(πG) = 2γ(G) for at least one permutation π of V(G) and those for which γ(πG) = 2γ(G) for each permutation π of V(G).
