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.

Domination In Graphs

Let G = (V (G), E(G)) be a simple graph and let α ∈ (0, 1]. A set S ⊆ V (G) isan α-partial dominating set in G if |N[S]| ≥ α |V (G)|. The smallest cardinality of an α-partialdominating set in G is called the α-partial domination number of G, denoted by ∂α(G). An α-partial dominating set S ⊆ V (G) is a total α-partial dominating set in G if every vertex in S isadjacent to some vertex in S. The total α-partial domination number of G, denoted by ∂T α(G), isthe smallest cardinality of a total α-partial dominating set in G. In this paper, we characterize thetotal partial dominating sets in the join, corona, lexicographic and Cartesian products of graphsand determine the exact values or sharp bounds of the corresponding total partial dominationnumber of these graphs.

Let [Formula: see text] be a simple graph. A hop dominating set [Formula: see text] is called a connected hop dominating set of [Formula: see text] if the induced subgraph [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is connected. The smallest cardinality of a connected hop dominating set of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is called the connected hop domination number of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we characterize the connected hop dominating sets in the join, corona and lexicographic product of graphs and determine the corresponding connected hop domination number of these graphs.

Let G = (V (G), E(G)) be a simple graph. A set S ⊆ V (G) is a perfect hop dominating set of G if for every v ∈ V (G) \ S, there is exactly one vertex u ∈ S such that dG(u, v) = 2. The smallest cardinality of a perfect hop dominating set of G is called the perfect hop domination number of G, denoted by γph(G). A perfect hop dominating set S ⊆ V (G) is called a total perfect hop dominating set of G if for every v ∈ V (G), there is exactly one vertex u ∈ S such that dG(u, v) = 2. The total perfect hop domination number of G, denoted by γtph(G), is the smallest cardinality of a total perfect hop dominating set of G. Any total perfect hop dominating set of G of cardinality γtph(G) is referred to as a γtph-set of G. In this paper, we characterize the total perfect hop dominating sets in the join, corona and lexicographic product of graphs and determine their corresponding total perfect hop domination number.

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].

In this paper, a new model of domination in graphs called the pitchfork domination is introduced. Let [Formula: see text] be a finite, simple and undirected graph without isolated vertices, a subset [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is a pitchfork dominating set if every vertex [Formula: see text] dominates at least [Formula: see text] and at most [Formula: see text] vertices of [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are non-negative integers. The domination number of [Formula: see text], denotes [Formula: see text] is a minimum cardinality over all pitchfork dominating sets in [Formula: see text]. In this work, pitchfork domination when [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is studied. Some bounds on [Formula: see text] related to the order, size, minimum degree, maximum degree of a graph and some properties are given. Pitchfork domination is determined for some known and new modified graphs. Finally, a question has been answered and discussed that; does every finite, simple and undirected graph [Formula: see text] without isolated vertices have a pitchfork domination or not?

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].

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 $G=(V,E)$ be a finite and simple graph of order $n$ and maximum degree $\Delta$. A signed strong Roman dominating function (abbreviated SStRDF) on a graph $G$ is a function $f:V\to \{-1,1,2,\ldots,\lceil\frac{\Delta}{2}\rceil+1\}$ satisfying the conditions that (i) for every vertex $v$ of $G$, $\sum_{u\in N[v]} f(u)\ge 1$, where $N[v]$ is the closed neighborhood of $v$ and (ii) every vertex $v$ for which $f(v)=-1$ is adjacent to at least one vertex $u$ for which $f(u)\ge 1+\lceil\frac{1}{2}|N(u)\cap V_{-1}|\rceil$, where $V_{-1}=\{v\in V \mid f(v)=-1\}$. The minimum of the values $\sum_{v\in V} f(v)$, taken over all signed strong Roman dominating functions $f$ of $G$, is called the signed strong Roman domination number of $G$ and is denoted by $\gamma_{ssR}(G)$. In this paper we initiate the study of the signed strong Roman domination in graphs and present some (sharp) bounds for this parameter.

Let $G = (V, E)$ be a simple graph of order $n$. A  total dominating set of $G$ is a subset $D$ of $V$, such that every vertex of $V$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in  $D$. The total domination number of $G$ is  minimum cardinality of  total dominating set in $G$ and is denoted by $\gamma_t(G)$. The total domination polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial $D_t(G,x)=\sum_{i=\gamma_t(G)}^n d_t(G,i)$, where $d_t(G,i)$ is the number of total dominating sets of $G$ of size $i$. In this paper, we study roots of the total domination polynomial of some graphs.  We show that  all roots of $D_t(G, x)$ lie in the circle with center $(-1, 0)$ and radius $\sqrt[\delta]{2^n-1}$, where $\delta$ is the minimum degree of $G$. As a consequence, we prove that if $\delta\geq \frac{2n}{3}$,  then every integer root of $D_t(G, x)$ lies in the set $\{-3,-2,-1,0\}$.
