Weak roman domination in graphs

100%
EN
Let G = (V,E) be a graph and f be a function f:V → {0,1,2}. A vertex u with f(u) = 0 is said to be undefended with respect to f, if it is not adjacent to a vertex with positive weight. The function f is a weak Roman dominating function (WRDF) if each vertex u with f(u) = 0 is adjacent to a vertex v with f(v) > 0 such that the function f': V → {0,1,2} defined by f'(u) = 1, f'(v) = f(v)-1 and f'(w) = f(w) if w ∈ V-{u,v}, has no undefended vertex. The weight of f is $w(f) = ∑_{v ∈ V}f(v)$. The weak Roman domination number, denoted by $γ_r(G)$, is the minimum weight of a WRDF in G. In this paper, we characterize the class of trees and split graphs for which $γ_r(G) = γ(G)$ and find $γ_r$-value for a caterpillar, a 2×n grid graph and a complete binary tree.

Total outer-connected domination in trees

100%
EN
Let G = (V,E) be a graph. Set D ⊆ V(G) is a total outer-connected dominating set of G if D is a total dominating set in G and G[V(G)-D] is connected. The total outer-connected domination number of G, denoted by $γ_{tc}(G)$, is the smallest cardinality of a total outer-connected dominating set of G. We show that if T is a tree of order n, then $γ_{tc}(T) ≥ ⎡2n/3⎤$. Moreover, we constructively characterize the family of extremal trees T of order n achieving this lower bound.

The study of domination in Cartesian products has received its main motivation from attempts to settle a conjecture made by V.G. Vizing in 1968. He conjectured that γ(G)γ(H) is a lower bound for the domination number of the Cartesian product of any two graphs G and H. Most of the progress on settling this conjecture has been limited to verifying the conjectured lower bound if one of the graphs has a certain structural property. In addition, a number of authors have established bounds for dominating the Cartesian product of any two graphs. We show how it is possible to improve some of these bounds by imposing conditions on both graphs. For example, we establish a new lower bound for the domination number of T T, when T is a tree, and we improve an upper bound of Vizing in the case when one of the graphs has k > 1 dominating sets which cover the vertex set and the other has a dominating set which partitions in a certain way.

Vizing's conjecture and the one-half argument

80%
EN
The domination number of a graph G is the smallest order, γ(G), of a dominating set for G. A conjecture of V. G. Vizing [5] states that for every pair of graphs G and H, γ(G☐H) ≥ γ(G)γ(H), where G☐H denotes the Cartesian product of G and H. We show that if the vertex set of G can be partitioned in a certain way then the above inequality holds for every graph H. The class of graphs G which have this type of partitioning includes those whose 2-packing number is no smaller than γ(G)-1 as well as the collection of graphs considered by Barcalkin and German in [1]. A crucial part of the proof depends on the well-known fact that the domination number of any connected graph of order at least two is no more than half its order.

Let (−→ Cm2−→ Cn) be the domination number of the Cartesian product of directed cycles −→ Cm and −→ Cn for m, n ≥ 2. Shaheen [13] and Liu et al. ([11], [12]) determined the value of (−→ Cm2−→ Cn) when m ≤ 6 and [12] when both m and n ≡ 0(mod 3). In this article we give, in general, the value of (−→ Cm2−→ Cn) when m ≡ 2(mod 3) and improve the known lower bounds for most of the remaining cases. We also disprove the conjectured formula for the case m ≡ 0(mod 3) appearing in [12].

Let G be a graph with Δ(G) > 1. It can be shown that the domination number of the graph obtained from G by subdividing every edge exactly once is more than that of G. So, let ξ(G) be the least number of edges such that subdividing each of these edges exactly once results in a graph whose domination number is more than that of G. The parameter ξ(G) is called the subdivision number of G. This notion has been introduced by S. Arumugam and S. Velammal. They have conjectured that for any graph G with Δ(G) > 1, ξ(G) ≤ 3. We show that the conjecture is false and construct for any positive integer n ≥ 3, a graph G of order n with ξ(G) > [1/3]log₂ n. The main results of this paper are the following: (i) For any connected graph G with at least three vertices, ξ(G) ≤ γ(G)+1 where γ(G) is the domination number of G. (ii) If G is a connected graph of sufficiently large order n, then ξ(G) ≤ 4√n ln n+5

The cobondage number of a graph

80%
EN
A set D of vertices in a graph G = (V,E) is a dominating set of G if every vertex in V-D is adjacent to some vertex in D. The domination number γ(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set. We define the cobondage number $b_c(G)$ of G to be the minimum cardinality among the sets of edges X ⊆ P₂(V) - E, where P₂(V) = {X ⊆ V:|X| = 2} such that γ(G+X) < γ(G). In this paper, the exact values of b_c(G) for some standard graphs are found and some bounds are obtained. Also, a Nordhaus-Gaddum type result is established.

On well-covered graphs of odd girth 7 or greater

80%
EN
A maximum independent set of vertices in a graph is a set of pairwise nonadjacent vertices of largest cardinality α. Plummer [14] defined a graph to be well-covered, if every independent set is contained in a maximum independent set of G. One of the most challenging problems in this area, posed in the survey of Plummer [15], is to find a good characterization of well-covered graphs of girth 4. We examine several subclasses of well-covered graphs of girth ≥ 4 with respect to the odd girth of the graph. We prove that every isolate-vertex-free well-covered graph G containing neither C₃, C₅ nor C₇ as a subgraph is even very well-covered. Here, a isolate-vertex-free well-covered graph G is called very well-covered, if G satisfies α(G) = n/2. A vertex set D of G is dominating if every vertex not in D is adjacent to some vertex in D. The domination number γ(G) is the minimum order of a dominating set of G. Obviously, the inequality γ(G) ≤ α(G) holds. The family $𝓖_{γ=α}$ of graphs G with γ(G) = α(G) forms a subclass of well-covered graphs. We prove that every connected member G of $𝓖_{γ=α}$ containing neither C₃ nor C₅ as a subgraph is a K₁, C₄,C₇ or a corona graph.

Domination in partitioned graphs

80%
EN
Let V₁, V₂ be a partition of the vertex set in a graph G, and let $γ_i$ denote the least number of vertices needed in G to dominate $V_i$. We prove that γ₁+γ₂ ≤ [4/5]|V(G)| for any graph without isolated vertices or edges, and that equality occurs precisely if G consists of disjoint 5-paths and edges between their centers. We also give upper and lower bounds on γ₁+γ₂ for graphs with minimum valency δ, and conjecture that γ₁+γ₂ ≤ [4/(δ+3)]|V(G)| for δ ≤ 5. As δ gets large, however, the largest possible value of (γ₁+γ₂)/|V(G)| is shown to grow with the order of (logδ)/(δ).

On Vizing's conjecture

80%
EN
A dominating set D for a graph G is a subset of V(G) such that any vertex in V(G)-D has a neighbor in D, and a domination number γ(G) is the size of a minimum dominating set for G. For the Cartesian product G ⃞ H Vizing's conjecture [10] states that γ(G ⃞ H) ≥ γ(G)γ(H) for every pair of graphs G,H. In this paper we introduce a new concept which extends the ordinary domination of graphs, and prove that the conjecture holds when γ(G) = γ(H) = 3.

Let G = (V(G),E(G)) be a simple graph, and let k be a positive integer. A subset D of V(G) is a k-dominating set if every vertex of V(G) - D is dominated at least k times by D. The k-domination number γₖ(G) is the minimum cardinality of a k-dominating set of G. In [5] Volkmann showed that for every nontrivial tree T, γ₂(T) ≥ γ₁(T)+1 and characterized extremal trees attaining this bound. In this paper we characterize all trees T with γ₂(T) = γ₁(T)+2.

Let G = (V,E) be a graph. The distance between two vertices u and v in a connected graph G is the length of the shortest (u-v) path in G. A set D ⊆ V(G) is a dominating set if every vertex of G is at distance at most 1 from an element of D. The domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G. A set D ⊆ V(G) is a 2-distance dominating set if every vertex of G is at distance at most 2 from an element of D. The 2-distance domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a 2-distance dominating set of G. We characterize all trees and all unicyclic graphs with equal domination and 2-distance domination numbers.

Lower bounds for the domination number

80%
EN
In this note, we prove several lower bounds on the domination number of simple connected graphs. Among these are the following: the domination number is at least two-thirds of the radius of the graph, three times the domination number is at least two more than the number of cut-vertices in the graph, and the domination number of a tree is at least as large as the minimum order of a maximal matching.

In this note the split domination number of the Cartesian product of two paths is considered. Our results are related to [2] where the domination number of Pₘ ☐ Pₙ was studied. The split domination number of P₂ ☐ Pₙ is calculated, and we give good estimates for the split domination number of Pₘ ☐ Pₙ expressed in terms of its domination number.

Domination Game Critical Graphs

71%
EN
The domination game is played on a graph G by two players who alternately take turns by choosing a vertex such that in each turn at least one previously undominated vertex is dominated. The game is over when each vertex becomes dominated. One of the players, namely Dominator, wants to finish the game as soon as possible, while the other one wants to delay the end. The number of turns when Dominator starts the game on G and both players play optimally is the graph invariant γg(G), named the game domination number. Here we study the γg-critical graphs which are critical with respect to vertex predomination. Besides proving some general properties, we characterize γg-critical graphs with γg = 2 and with γg = 3, moreover for each n we identify the (infinite) class of all γg-critical ones among the nth powers CnN of cycles. Along the way we determine γg(CnN) for all n and N. Results of a computer search for γg-critical trees are presented and several problems and research directions are also listed.
