Let [Formula: see text] be a connected graph of order [Formula: see text]. A subset [Formula: see text] is a double hop dominating set (or a double [Formula: see text]-step dominating set) if [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], for each [Formula: see text]. The smallest cardinality of a double hop dominating set of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the double hop domination number of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we investigate the concept of double hop dominating sets and study it for graphs resulting from some binary operations.

Let G be a (simple) connected graph with vertex and edge sets V (G) and E(G),respectively. A set S ⊆ V (G) is a hop dominating set of G if for each v ∈ V (G) \ S, there exists w ∈ S such that dG(v, w) = 2. The minimum cardinality of a hop dominating set of G, denoted by γh(G), is called the hop domination number of G. In this paper we revisit the concept of hop domination, relate it with other domination concepts, and investigate it in graphs resulting from some binary operations.

Distance Domination

A set $D\subseteq V$ of vertices is said to be a (connected) distance $k$-dominating set of $G$ if the distance between each vertex $u\in V-D$ and $D$ is at most $k$ (and $D$ induces a connected graph in $G$). The minimum cardinality of a (connected) distance $k$-dominating set in $G$ is the (connected) distance $k$-domination number of $G$, denoted by $\gamma_k(G)$ ($\gamma_k^c(G)$, respectively). The set $D$ is defined to be a total $k$-dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V$ is within distance $k$ from some vertex of $D$ other than itself. The minimum cardinality among all total $k$-dominating sets of $G$ is called the total $k$-domination number of $G$ and is denoted by $\gamma_k^t(G)$. For $x\in X\subseteq V$, if $N^k[x]-N^k[X-x]\neq\emptyset$, the vertex $x$ is said to be $k$-irredundant in $X$. A set $X$ containing only $k$-irredundant vertices is called $k$-irredundant. The $k$-irredundance number of $G$, denoted by $ir_k(G)$, is the minimum cardinality taken over all maximal $k$-irredundant sets of vertices of $G$. In this paper we establish lower bounds for the distance $k$-irredundance number of graphs and trees. More precisely, we prove that ${5k+1\over 2}ir_k(G)\geq \gamma_k^c(G)+2k$ for each connected graph $G$ and $(2k+1)ir_k(T)\geq\gamma_k^c(T)+2k\geq |V|+2k-kn_1(T)$ for each tree $T=(V,E)$ with $n_1(T)$ leaves. A class of examples shows that the latter bound is sharp. The second inequality generalizes a result of Meierling and Volkmann and Cyman, Lemańska and Raczek regarding $\gamma_k$ and the first generalizes a result of Favaron and Kratsch regarding $ir_1$. Furthermore, we shall show that $\gamma_k^c(G)\leq{3k+1\over2}\gamma_k^t(G)-2k$ for each connected graph $G$, thereby generalizing a result of Favaron and Kratsch regarding $k=1$.

Let [Formula: see text] be a simple and connected graph. A dominating set [Formula: see text] is said to be a vertex covering transversal dominating set if it intersects every minimum vertex covering set of [Formula: see text]. The vertex covering transversal domination number [Formula: see text] is the minimum cardinality among all vertex covering transversal dominating sets of [Formula: see text]. A vertex covering transversal dominating set of minimum cardinality [Formula: see text] is called a minimum vertex covering transversal dominating set or simply a [Formula: see text]-set. In this paper, we prove some general theorems on the vertex covering transversal domination number of a simple connected graph. We also provide some results about [Formula: see text]-sets and try to classify those sets based on their intersection with the minimum vertex covering sets.

A set S of vertices in a connected graph G is a resolving hop dominating set of G if S is a resolving set in G and for every vertex v ∈ V (G) \ S there exists u ∈ S such that dG(u, v) = 2. The smallest cardinality of such a set S is called the resolving hop domination number of G. This paper presents the characterizations of the resolving hop dominating sets in the join, corona and lexicographic product of two graphs and determines the exact values of their corresponding resolving hop domination number.

Let G be a connected graph. A subset S \subseteq V(G) is a strong resolving dominating set of G if S is a dominating set and for every pair of vertices u,v \in V(G), there exists a vertex w \in S such that u \in I_G[v,w] or v \in I_G[u,w]. The smallest cardinality of a strong resolving dominating set of G is called the strong resolving domination number of G. In this paper, we characterize the strong resolving dominating sets in the join and corona of graphs and determine the bounds or exact values of the strong resolving domination number of these graphs.

Let G = (V, E) be a connected graph with at least three vertices. A set S ⊆ E(G) is called an edge-to-edge geodetic dominating set of G if S is both an edge-to-edge geodetic set of G and an edge dominating set of G. The edge-to-edge geodetic domination number γgee(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of its edge-to-edge geodetic dominating sets. Some general properties satisfied by this concept are studied. Connected graphs of size m with edge-to-edge geodetic domination number 2 or m or m − 1 are characterized. We proved that if G is a connected graph of size m ≥ 4 and Ḡ is also connected, then 4 ≤ γgee(G) + γgee(Ḡ) ≤ 2m − 2. Moreover we characterized graphs for which the lower and the upper bounds are sharp. It is shown that, for every pair of positive integers a, b with 2 ≤ a ≤ b, there exists a connected graph G with gee(G) = a and γgee(G) = b. Also it is shown that, for every pair of positive integers a and b with 2 < a ≤ b, there exists a connected graph G with γe(G) = a and γgee(G) = b, where γe(G) is the edge domination number of G and gee(G) is the edge-to-edge geodetic number of G.

Initial Results

A collection of vertices in different connected graphs embraces a wholesome shift into a new collection with the properties of the couplets monophonic and dominating sets. The new collection of vertices and associated invariant with the new behavior of connected graphs are called as connected monophonic dominating set (cmd-set) and connected monophonic domination number (cmd-number), respectively. Certain initial results are studied. The cmd-number is characterized with some conditions. Some realization problems related to a connected graph by imposing conditions on the vertex count are also presented.

AbstractFor a given connected graph G = (V, E), a set $$D \subseteq V(G)$$ is a doubly connected dominating set if it is dominating and both 〈D〉 and 〈V (G)-D〉 are connected. The cardinality of the minimum doubly connected dominating set in G is the doubly connected domination number. We investigate several properties of doubly connected dominating sets and give some bounds on the doubly connected domination number.

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.
