Correction to: Burning Numbers of t-unicyclic Graphs

Abstract Let G = (V;E) be a graph. A set S ⊂ V (G) is a hop dominating set of G if for every v ∈ V - S, there exists u ∈ S such that d(u; v) = 2. The minimum cardinality of a hop dominating set of G is called a hop domination number of G and is denoted by γh(G). In this paper we characterize the family of trees and unicyclic graphs for which γh(G) = γt(G) and γh(G) = γc(G) where γt(G) and γc(G) are the total domination and connected domination numbers of G respectively. We then present the strong equality of hop domination and hop independent domination numbers for trees. Hop domination numbers of shadow graph and mycielskian graph of graph are also discussed.

The total irregularity index of a graph [Formula: see text] is defined by Abdo et al. [H. Abdo, S. Brandt and D. Dimitrov, The total irregularity of a graph, Discrete Math. Theor. Comput. Sci. 16 (2014) 201–206] as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] denotes the degree of a vertex [Formula: see text]. In 2014, You et al. [L. H. You, J. S. Yang and Z. F. You, The maximal total irregularity of unicyclic graphs, Ars Comb. 114 (2014) 153–160.] characterized the graph having maximum [Formula: see text] value among all elements of the class [Formula: see text] (Unicyclic graphs) and Zhou et al. [L. H. You, J. S. Yang, Y. X. Zhu and Z. F. You, The maximal total irregularity of bicyclic graphs, J. Appl. Math. 2014 (2014) 785084, http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/785084 ] characterized the graph having maximum [Formula: see text] value among all elements of the class [Formula: see text] (Bicyclic graphs). In this paper, we characterize the aforementioned graphs with an alternative but comparatively simple approach. Also, we characterized the graphs having maximum [Formula: see text] value among the classes [Formula: see text] (Tricyclic graphs), [Formula: see text] (Tetracyclic graphs), [Formula: see text] (Pentacyclic graphs) and [Formula: see text] (Hexacyclic graphs).
