Secure Domination

Let T_m=(V(T_m), E(T_m)) be a triangular grid graph of m ϵ N level. The order of graph T_m is called a triangular number. A subset T of V(T_m) is a dominating set of T_m  if for all u_V(T_m)\T, there exists vϵT such that uv ϵ E(T_m), that is, N[T]=V(T_m).  A dominating set T of V(T_m) is a secure dominating set of T_m if for each u ϵ V(T_m)\T, there exists v ϵ T such that uv ϵ E(T_m) and the set (T\{u})ꓴ{v} is a dominating set of T_m. The minimum cardinality of a secure dominating set of T_m, denoted by γ_s(T_m)  is called a secure domination number of graph T_m. A secure dominating number  γ_s(T_m) of graph T_m is a triangular secure domination number if γ_s(T_m) is a triangular number. In this paper, a combinatorial formula for triangular secure domination number of graph T_m was constructed. Furthermore, the said number was evaluated in relation to perfect numbers.

Let G = (V, E) be a simple, undirected and connected graph. A dominating set S is called a secure dominating set if for each u ∈ V \ S, there exists v ∈ S such that (u, v) ∈ E and (S \{v}) ∪{u} is a dominating set of G. If further the vertex v ∈ S is unique, then S is called a perfect secure dominating set (PSDS). The perfect secure domination number γps(G) is the minimum cardinality of a perfect secure dominating set of G. Given a graph G and a positive integer k, the perfect secure domination (PSDOM) problem is to check whether G has a PSDS of size at most k. In this paper, we prove that PSDOM problem is NP-complete for split graphs, star convex bipartite graphs, comb convex bipartite graphs, planar graphs and dually chordal graphs. We propose a linear time algorithm to solve the PSDOM problem in caterpillar trees and also show that this problem is linear time solvable for bounded tree-width graphs and threshold graphs, a subclass of split graphs. Finally, we show that the domination and perfect secure domination problems are not equivalent in computational complexity aspects.

Let [Formula: see text] be a graph. A subset [Formula: see text] is a dominating set of [Formula: see text] if for each [Formula: see text] there is a vertex [Formula: see text] adjacent to [Formula: see text]. A dominating set [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is a secure dominating set of [Formula: see text] if for each [Formula: see text] there is a vertex [Formula: see text] adjacent to [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] is also a dominating set of [Formula: see text]. The minimum cardinality of a secure dominating set of [Formula: see text] is called the secure domination number of [Formula: see text]. Burger et al. [A linear algorithm for secure domination in trees, Discrete Appl. Math. 171 (2014) 15–27] proposed a nontrivial algorithm for computing a minimum secure dominating set of a given tree in linear time and space. In this paper, we give a dynamic programming algorithm to compute the secure domination number of a given tree [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] time and space and then using a backtracking search algorithm we can find a minimum secure dominating set of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] time and space that its implementation is much simpler than the implementation of the algorithm proposed by Burger et al.

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.

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{&#x0394;}(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.

A subset [Formula: see text] of vertices in a hypergraph [Formula: see text] is a transversal if [Formula: see text] has a nonempty intersection with every edge of [Formula: see text]. The transversal number of [Formula: see text] is the minimum size of a transversal in [Formula: see text]. A subset [Formula: see text] of vertices in a graph [Formula: see text] with no isolated vertex, is a total dominating set if every vertex of [Formula: see text] is adjacent to a vertex of [Formula: see text]. The minimum cardinality of a total dominating set in [Formula: see text] is the total domination number of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we obtain a new (improved) probabilistic upper bound for the transversal number of a hypergraph, and a new (improved) probabilistic upper bound for the total domination number of a graph.

A distance - 2 dominating set D V of a graph G is a split distance - 2 dominating set if the induced sub graph <V-D> is disconnected. The split distance - 2 domination number is the minimum cardinality of a split distance - 2 dominating set. In this paper, we defined the notion of split distance - 2 domination in graph. We got many bounds on distance - 2 split domination number. Exact values of this new parameter are obtained for some standard graphs. Nordhaus - Gaddum type results are also obtained for this new parameter.

AbstractLet G be a graph of minimum degree at least two. A set $$D\subseteq V(G)$$ D ⊆ V ( G ) is said to be a double total dominating set of G if $$|N(v)\cap D|\ge 2$$ | N ( v ) ∩ D | ≥ 2 for every vertex $$v\in V(G)$$ v ∈ V ( G ) . The minimum cardinality among all double total dominating sets of G is the double total domination number of G. In this article, we continue with the study of this parameter. In particular, we provide new bounds on the double total domination number in terms of other domination parameters. Some of our results are tight bounds that improve some well-known results.
