Let [Formula: see text] be a simple graph with vertex set [Formula: see text] and edge set [Formula: see text]. An outer-paired dominating set [Formula: see text] of a graph [Formula: see text] is a dominating set such that the subgraph induced by [Formula: see text] has a perfect matching. The outer-paired domination number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the minimum cardinality of an outer-paired dominating set of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we study the outer-paired domination number of graphs and present some sharp bounds concerning the invariant. Also, we characterize all the trees with [Formula: see text].

A paired-dominating set of a graph G=(V, E) with no isolated vertex is a dominating set of vertices whose induced subgraph has a perfect matching. The paired-domination number of G, denoted by ?pr(G), is the minimum cardinality of a paired-dominating set of G. The annihilation number a(G) is the largest integer k such that the sum of the first k terms of the non-decreasing degree sequence of G is at most the number of edges in G. In this paper, we prove that for any tree T of order n?2,?pr(T)? 4a(T)+2/3 and we characterize the trees achieving this bound.

A paired dominating set of a graph G = (V(G),E(G)) is a set D of vertices of G such that every vertex is adjacent to some vertex in D, and the subgraph of G induced by D contains a perfect matching. The upper paired domination number of G, denoted by Γpr(G) is the maximum cardinality of a minimal paired dominating set of G. A paired dominatin set of cardinality Γ pr(G) is called a Γpr(G) -set. The Γ -paired dominating graph of G, denoted by ΓPD(G), is the graph whose vertex set is the set of all Γ pr(G) -sets, and two Γpr(G) -sets are adjacentin ΓPD(G) if one can be obtained from the other by removing one vertex and adding another vertex of G. In this paper, we present the Γ-paired dominating graphs of some paths.

A paired-dominating set of a graph G without isolated vertices is a dominating set of vertices whose induced subgraph has perfect matching. The minimum cardinality of a paired-dominating set of G is called the paired-domination number γpr(G) of G. The paired-domination subdivision number sdγpr(G) of G is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (each edge in G can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the paired-domination number. Here, we show that, for each tree T≠P5 of order n≥3 and each edge e∉E(T), sdγpr(T)+sdγpr(T+e)≤n+2.

Totally Disconnected

In a simple, finite and undirected graph [Formula: see text] with vertex set [Formula: see text] and edge set [Formula: see text], a subset [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is said to be a degree equitable dominating set if for every [Formula: see text] there exists a vertex [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] denotes the degree of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text]. The minimum cardinality of such a dominating set is denoted by [Formula: see text] and is called the equitable domination number of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we introduce Complementary Equitably Totally Disconnected Equitable domination in graphs and obtain some interesting results. Also, we discuss some bounds of this new domination parameter.

Open Question

A paired dominating set $P$ is a dominating set with the additional property that $P$ has a perfect matching. While the maximum cardainality of a minimal dominating set in a graph $G$ is called the upper domination number of $G$, denoted by $\Gamma(G)$, the maximum cardinality of a minimal paired dominating set in $G$ is called the upper paired domination number of $G$, denoted by $\Gamma_{pr}(G)$. By Henning and Pradhan (2019), we know that $\Gamma_{pr}(G)\leq 2\Gamma(G)$ for any graph $G$ without isolated vertices. We focus on the graphs satisfying the equality $\Gamma_{pr}(G)= 2\Gamma(G)$. We give characterizations for two special graph classes: bipartite and unicyclic graphs with $\Gamma_{pr}(G)= 2\Gamma(G)$ by using the results of Ulatowski (2015). Besides, we study the graphs with $\Gamma_{pr}(G)= 2\Gamma(G)$ and a restricted girth. In this context, we provide two characterizations: one for graphs with $\Gamma_{pr}(G)= 2\Gamma(G)$ and girth at least 6 and the other for $C_3$-free cactus graphs with $\Gamma_{pr}(G)= 2\Gamma(G)$. We also pose the characterization of the general case of $C_3$-free graphs with $\Gamma_{pr}(G)= 2\Gamma(G)$ as an open question.

Throughout this paper, consider G = (V,E) as a connected graph. A subset D of V(G) is a set dominating set of G if for every M  V / D there exists a non-empty set N of D such that the induced sub graph <MUN> is connected. A subset D of the vertex set of a graph G is called a co-secure dominating set of a graph if D is a dominating set, and for each u' D there exists a vertex v'V / D such that u'v' is an edge and D \u'v' is a dominating set. A co-secure dominating set D is a co-secure set dominating set of G if D is also a set dominating set of G. The co-secure set domination number G s cs γ is the minimum cardinality of a co-secure set dominating set. In this paper we initiate the study of this new parameter & also determine the co-secure set domination number of some standard graphs and obtain its bounds.

Let G be a simple graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). A set S of vertices in a graph 𝑮(𝑽,𝑬) is called a total dominating set if every vertex 𝒗 ∈ 𝑽 is adjacent to an element of S. The minimum cardinality of a total dominating set of G is called the total domination number of G which is denoted by 𝜸𝒕 (𝑮). The energy of the graph is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the eigen values of the adjacency matrix. In this paper, we computed minimum total dominating energy of a Friendship Graph, Ladder Graph and Helm graph. The Minimum total dominating energy for bistar graphand sun graph is also determined.

For a set [Formula: see text] of vertices of a graph [Formula: see text], the representation multiset of a vertex [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] with respect to [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a distance between of the vertex [Formula: see text] and the vertices in [Formula: see text] together with their multiplicities. The set [Formula: see text] is a resolving set of [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] for every pair [Formula: see text] of distinct vertices of [Formula: see text]. The minimum resolving set [Formula: see text] is a multiset basis of [Formula: see text]. If [Formula: see text] has a multiset basis, then its cardinality is called multiset dimension, denoted by [Formula: see text]. A set [Formula: see text] of vertices in [Formula: see text] is a dominating set for [Formula: see text] if every vertex of [Formula: see text] that is not in [Formula: see text] is adjacent to some vertex of [Formula: see text]. The minimum cardinality of the dominating set is a domination number, denoted by [Formula: see text]. A vertex set of some vertices in [Formula: see text] that is both resolving and dominating set is a resolving dominating set. The minimum cardinality of resolving dominating set is called resolving domination number, denoted by [Formula: see text]. In our paper, we investigate and establish sharp bounds of the resolving domination number of [Formula: see text] and determine the exact value of some family graphs.

Let G=(V(G),E(G)) be a simple graph. A neighborhood connected k-fair dominating set (nckfd-set) is a dominating set S subset V(G) such that |N(u)  intersection S|=k for every u is an element of V(G)\S and the induced subgraph of S is connected. In this paper, we introduce and invistigate the notion of neighborhood connected k-fair domination in graphs. We also characterize such dominating sets in the join, corona, lexicographic and cartesians products of graphs and determine the exact value or sharp bounds of their corresponding neighborhood connected k-fair domination number.

Let G = (V, E) be a simple graph. A set S V(G) is a dual dominating set of G (or bi-dominating set of G) if S is a dominating set of G and every vertex in S dominates exactly two vertices in V-S. The dual-domination number γdu(G) (or bi-domination number G bi  ) of a graph G is the minimum cardinality of the minimal dual dominating set (or dual dominating set). In this paper dual domination number and relation with other graph parameters are determined.
