A major importance is given to the stability of a network by its users and designers. Domination Integrity is one of the parameter used to determine the network’s vulnerability and its defined for a connected graph G as “ DI(G) = min{| X | +m(G - X) : X is a dominating set} wh ere m(G-X) is the order of maximum component of G-X”, by Sundareswaran and Swaminathan. Here we investigate the domination integrity of Tadpole graph, Lollipop graph and a line graph of composition of nP and P2

Abstract The second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix of a graph (network) is called its algebraic connectivity which is used to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease, distinguish the group differences, measure the robustness, construct multiplex model, synchronize the stability, analyze the diffusion processes and find the connectivity of the graphs (networks). A connected graph containing two or three cycles is called a bicyclic graph if its number of edges is equal to its number of vertices plus one. In this paper, firstly the unique graph with a minimum algebraic connectivity is characterized in the class of connected graphs whose complements are bicyclic with exactly three cycles. Then, we find the unique graph of minimum algebraic connectivity in the class of connected graphs $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_{n}={\it\Omega}^c_{1,n}\cup{\it\Omega}^c_{2,n}, \end{array}$ where $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_{1,n} \end{array}$ and $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_{2,n} \end{array}$ are classes of the connected graphs in which the complement of each graph of order n is a bicyclic graph with exactly two and three cycles, respectively.

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 $k=1$.

AbstractA set E of edges of a graph G is said to be a dominating set of edges if every edge of G either belongs to E or is adjacent to an edge of E. If the subgraph 〈E〉 induced by E is a trail T, then T is called a dominating trail of G. Dominating circuits are defined analogously. A sufficient condition is given for a graph to possess a spanning (and thus dominating) circuit and a sufficient condition is given for a graph to possess a spanning (and thus dominating) trail between each pair of distinct vertices. The line graph L(G) of a graph G is defined to be that graph whose vertex set can be put in one-to-one correspondence with the edge set of G in such a way that two vertices of L(G) are adjacent if and only if the corresponding edges of G are adjacent. The existence of dominating trails and circuits is employed to present results on line graphs and second iterated line graphs, respectively.

The stability of a communication network has a great importance in network design. There are several vulnerability measures used to determine the resistance of network to the disruption in this sense. Domination theory provides a model to measure the vulnerability of a graph network. A new vulnerability measure of domination integrity was introduced by Sundareswaran in his Ph.D. thesis (Parameters of vulnerability in graphs (2010)) and defined as DI(G) = min{|S| + m(G − S):S ∈ V(G)} where m(G − S) denotes the order of a largest component of graph G − S and S is a dominating set of G. The domination integrity of an undirected connected graph is such a measure that works on the whole graph and also the remaining components of graph after any break down. Here we determine the domination integrity of wheel graph W1,n, Ladder graph Ln, Sm,n, Friendship graph Fn, Thorn graph of Pn and Cn which are commonly used graph models in network design.

A set [Formula: see text] of vertices in a graph [Formula: see text] is called a dominating set if every vertex in [Formula: see text] is adjacent to a vertex in [Formula: see text]. An independent transversal dominating set in a graph [Formula: see text] is a dominating set which intersects every maximum independent set of [Formula: see text]. The minimum cardinality of an independent transversal dominating set is called the independent transversal domination number of [Formula: see text] denoted by [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we characterize those trees whose independent transversal domination number does not alter owing to the deletion of a vertex.

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.
