The Given

Abstract Let k be a positive integer and let G be a graph with vertex set V(G) . A subset D\subseteq V(G) is a k -dominating set if every vertex outside D is adjacent to at least k vertices in D . The k -domination number {\gamma }_{k}(G) is the minimum cardinality of a k -dominating set in G . For any graph G , we know that {\gamma }_{k}(G)\ge \gamma (G)+k-2 where \text{Δ}(G)\ge k\ge 2 and this bound is sharp for every k\ge 2 . In this paper, we characterize bipartite graphs satisfying the equality for k\ge 3 and present a necessary and sufficient condition for a bipartite graph to satisfy the equality hereditarily when k=3 . We also prove that the problem of deciding whether a graph satisfies the given equality is NP-hard in general.

Combinatorics International audience A \em cyclic q-partition of a hypergraph (V,E) is a partition of the edge set E of the form \F,F^θ,F^θ², \ldots, F^θ^q-1\ for some permutation θ of the vertex set V. Let Vₙ = \ 1,2,\ldots,n\. For a positive integer k, Vₙ\choose k denotes the set of all k-subsets of Vₙ. For a nonempty subset K of V_n-1, we let \mathcalKₙ^(K) denote the hypergraph ≤ft(Vₙ, \bigcup_k∈ K Vₙ\choose k\right). In this paper, we find a necessary and sufficient condition on n, q and k for the existence of a cyclic q-partition of \mathcalKₙ^(V_k). In particular, we prove that if p is prime then there is a cyclic p^α-partition of \mathcalK^(Vₖ)ₙ if and only if p^α + β divides n, where β = \lfloor \logₚ k\rfloor. As an application of this result, we obtain two sufficient conditions on n₁,n₂,\ldots,n_t, k, α and a prime p for the existence of a cyclic p^α-partition of the complete t-partite k-uniform hypergraph \mathcal K^(k)_n₁,n₂,\ldots,n_t.

Power Mapping

Let [Formula: see text] be a group and [Formula: see text] be a positive integer. The [Formula: see text]-power digraph [Formula: see text] is consisting of vertex set [Formula: see text] and there is a directed edge from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text]. We study the [Formula: see text]-power digraph on the semiproduct of cyclic groups. In particular, we obtain the distribution of indegree and cycles, and determine the structure of trees attached with vertices of power digraph. Finally, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for isomorphism of digraphs [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].

The aim of this paper is to determine radius and diameter of graph complements. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the complement of a graph to be connected, and determine the components of graph complement. Finally, we completely characterize the class of graphs [Formula: see text] for which the subgraph induced by central (respectively peripheral) vertices of its complement in [Formula: see text] is isomorphic to a complete graph [Formula: see text], for some positive integer [Formula: see text].

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.

Let [Formula: see text] be a positive integer and [Formula: see text] be a simple connected graph. The eccentric distance sum of [Formula: see text] is defined as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the maximum distance from [Formula: see text] to any other vertex and [Formula: see text] is the sum of all distances from [Formula: see text]. A set [Formula: see text] is a distance [Formula: see text]-dominating set of [Formula: see text] if for every vertex [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] for some vertex [Formula: see text]. The minimum cardinality among all distance [Formula: see text]-dominating sets of [Formula: see text] is called the distance [Formula: see text]-domination number [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, the trees among all [Formula: see text]-vertex trees with distance [Formula: see text]-domination number [Formula: see text] having the minimal eccentric distance sum are determined.

Domination In Graphs

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].

Let [Formula: see text] be a graph with vertex set [Formula: see text] and edge set [Formula: see text]. If [Formula: see text] has no isolated vertex, then a disjunctive total dominating set (DTD-set) of [Formula: see text] is a vertex set [Formula: see text] such that every vertex in [Formula: see text] is adjacent to a vertex of [Formula: see text] or has at least two vertices in [Formula: see text] at distance two from it, and the disjunctive total domination number [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is the minimum cardinality overall DTD-sets of [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be two disjoint copies of a graph [Formula: see text], and let [Formula: see text] be a bijection. Then, a permutation graph [Formula: see text] has the vertex set [Formula: see text] and the edge set [Formula: see text]. For any connected graph [Formula: see text] of order at least three, we prove the sharp bounds [Formula: see text]; we give an example showing that [Formula: see text] can be arbitrarily large. We characterize permutation graphs for which [Formula: see text] holds. Further, we show that [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is a cycle, a path, and a complete [Formula: see text]-partite graph, respectively.

A subset D of the vertex set of a graph G, is a dominating set if every vertex in V−D is adjacent to at least one vertex in D. The domination number γ(G) is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G. A subset of V−D, which is also a dominating set of G is called an inverse dominating set of G with respect to D. The inverse domination number γ′(G) is the minimum cardinality of the inverse dominating sets. Domke et al. (2004) characterized connected graphs G with γ(G)+γ′(G)=n, where n is the number of vertices in G. It is the purpose of this paper to give a complete characterization of graphs G with minimum degree at least two and γ(G)+γ′(G)=n−1.

Let H be an abelian group written additively and k be a positive integer. Let G(H, k) denote the digraph whose set of vertices is just H, and there exists a directed edge from a vertex a to a vertex b if b = ka. In this paper we give a necessary and sufficient condition for G(H, k1) ≃ G(H, k2). We also discuss the problem when G(H1, k) is isomorphic to G(H2, k) for a given k. Moreover, we give an explicit formula of G(H, k) when H is a p-group and gcd (p, k)=1.
