A set [Formula: see text] of a graph [Formula: see text] is an [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] if no two vertices of [Formula: see text] have a common neighbor in [Formula: see text]. An open packing set [Formula: see text] is called an outer-connected open packing set (ocop-set) if either [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] is connected. The minimum and maximum cardinalities of an ocop-set are called the lower outer-connected open packing number and the outer-connected open packing number, respectively, and are denoted by [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. In this paper, we initiate a study on these parameters.

In a graph [Formula: see text], a set [Formula: see text] is said to be an open packing set if no two vertices of [Formula: see text] have a common neighbor in [Formula: see text] The maximum cardinality of an open packing set is called the open packing number and is denoted by [Formula: see text]. The open packing bondage number of a graph [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the cardinality of the smallest set of edges [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we initiate a study on this parameter.

In a graph [Formula: see text], a nonempty set [Formula: see text] is said to be an open packing set if no two vertices of [Formula: see text] have a common neighbor in [Formula: see text] The maximum cardinality of an open packing set is called the open packing number and is denoted by [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we examine the effect of [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is modified by deleting an edge.


A non-empty set of a graph G is an open packing set of G if no two vertices of S have a common neighbor in G. The maximum cardinality of an open packing set is the open packing number of G and is denoted by . An open packing set of cardinality is a -set of G. In this paper, the classes of trees and unicyclic graphs for which the value of is either 2 or 3 are characterized. Moreover, the exact values of the open packing number for some special classes of graphs have been found.

Let \(G\) be a graph with the vertex set \(V(G)\).  A subset \(S\) of \(V(G)\) is an open packing set of \(G\) if every pair of vertices in \(S\) has no common neighbor in \(G.\)  The maximum cardinality of an open packing set of \(G\) is the open packing number of \(G\) and it is denoted by \(\rho^o(G)\).  In this paper, the exact values of the open packing numbers for some classes of perfect graphs, such as split graphs, \(\{P_4, C_4\}\)-free graphs, the complement of a bipartite graph, the trestled graph of a perfect graph are obtained.

A dominating set of a graph G = (V,E) is a subset D of V such that everyvertex not in D is adjacent to at least one vertex in D. A dominating set D is a totaldominating set, if every vertex in V is adjacent to at least one vertex in D. The set Pis said to be an open packing set if no two vertices of P have a common neighbor inG. In this paper, we obtain domination number, total domination number and openpacking number of the molecular graph of a new type of graphene named CorCor thatis a 2-dimensional carbon network.

A k-tuple total dominating set (kTDS) of a graph G is a set S of vertices in which every vertex in G is adjacent to at least k vertices in S; the minimum size of a kTDS is denoted ?xk,t(G). We give a Vizing-like inequality for Cartesian product graphs, namely ?xk,t(G) ?xk,t(H)? 2k?xk,t(G_H) provided ?xk,t(G) ? 2k?(G) holds, where ? denotes the packing number. We also give bounds on ?xk,t(G_H) in terms of (open) packing numbers, and consider the extremal case of ?xk,t(Kn_Km), i.e., the rook?s graph, giving a constructive proof of a general formula for ?x2,t(Kn_Km).

Abstract We define a k-total limited packing number in a graph, which generalizes the concept of open packing number in graphs, and give several bounds on it. These bounds involve many well known parameters of graphs. Also, we establish a connection among the concepts of tuple domination, tuple total domination and total limited packing that implies some results.
