A perfect dominating set $S$ is said to be a neighborhood connected perfect dominating set (ncpd-set) if the induced subgraph $$ is connected. The minimum cardinality of a ncpd-set of $G$ is called the neighborhood connected perfect domination number of $G$ and is denoted by $\gamma_{ncp}(G)$.

Throughout this paper, consider G = (V,E) as a connected graph. A subset D of V(G) is a set dominating set of G if for every M  V / D there exists a non-empty set N of D such that the induced sub graph <MUN> is connected. A subset D of the vertex set of a graph G is called a co-secure dominating set of a graph if D is a dominating set, and for each u' D there exists a vertex v'V / D such that u'v' is an edge and D \u'v' is a dominating set. A co-secure dominating set D is a co-secure set dominating set of G if D is also a set dominating set of G. The co-secure set domination number G s cs γ is the minimum cardinality of a co-secure set dominating set. In this paper we initiate the study of this new parameter & also determine the co-secure set domination number of some standard graphs and obtain its bounds.

A vertex v of a graph G = ( V , E ) , ve-dominates every edge incident to v, as well as every edge adjacent to these incident edges. A set S ⊆ V is a double vertex-edge dominating set if every edge of E is ve-dominated by at least two vertices of S. The double vertex-edge domination number γ d v e ( G ) is the minimum cardinality of a double vertex-edge dominating set in G. A subset S ⊆ V is a total dominating set (respectively, a 2-dominating set) if every vertex in V has a neighbor in S (respectively, every vertex in V - S has at least two neighbors in S). The total domination number γ t ( G ) is the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set of G, and the 2-domination number γ 2 ( G ) is the minimum cardinality of a 2-dominating set of G . Krishnakumari et al. (2017) showed that for every triangle-free graph G , γ d v e ( G ) ≤ γ 2 ( G ) , and in addition, if G has no isolated vertices, then γ d v e ( G ) ≤ γ t ( G ) . Moreover, they posed the problem of characterizing those graphs attaining the equality in the previous bounds. In this paper, we characterize all trees T with γ d v e ( T ) = γ t ( T ) or γ d v e ( T ) = γ 2 ( T ) .

A set S ⊆ V of a graph G = V , E is called a co-independent liar’s dominating set of G if (i) for all v ∈ V , N G v ∩ S ≥ 2 , (ii) for every pair u , v ∈ V of distinct vertices, N G u ∪ N G v ∩ S ≥ 3 , and (iii) the induced subgraph of G on V − S has no edge. The minimum cardinality of vertices in such a set is called the co-independent liar’s domination number of G , and it is denoted by γ coi L R G . In this paper, we introduce the concept of co-independent liar’s domination number of the middle graph of some standard graphs such as path and cycle graphs, and we propose some bounds on this new parameter.

Let [Formula: see text] be a simple, undirected and connected graph. A vertex [Formula: see text] of a simple, undirected graph [Formula: see text]-dominates all edges incident to at least one vertex in its closed neighborhood [Formula: see text]. A set [Formula: see text] of vertices is a vertex-edge dominating set of [Formula: see text], if every edge of graph [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text]-dominated by some vertex of [Formula: see text]. A vertex-edge dominating set [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is called a total vertex-edge dominating set if the induced subgraph [Formula: see text] has no isolated vertices. The total vertex-edge domination number [Formula: see text] is the minimum cardinality of a total vertex-edge dominating set of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we prove that the decision problem corresponding to [Formula: see text] is NP-complete for chordal graphs, star convex bipartite graphs, comb convex bipartite graphs and planar graphs. The problem of determining [Formula: see text] of a graph [Formula: see text] is called the minimum total vertex-edge domination problem (MTVEDP). We prove that MTVEDP is linear time solvable for chain graphs and threshold graphs. We also show that MTVEDP can be approximated within approximation ratio of [Formula: see text]. It is shown that the domination and total vertex-edge domination problems are not equivalent in computational complexity aspects. Finally, an integer linear programming formulation for MTVEDP is presented.

A dominating set D ? V[BS(G)] is a split dominating set in [BS(G)] if the induced subgraph  ?V[BS(G)] - D? is disconnected in [BS(G)]. The split domination number of [BS(G)] is denoted by ?sbs(G), is the minimum cardinality of a split dominating  set in   [BS(G)]. In this paper, some results on ?sbs(G) were obtained interms of vertices, blocks and other different parameters of G but not the members of [BS(G)]. Further we develop its relationship with other different domination parameters of G.

Given a connected graph $G$, we say that $S\subseteq V(G)$ is a cost effective dominating set in $G$ if, each vertex in $S$ is adjacent to at least as many vertices outside $S$ as inside $S$ and that every vertex outside $S$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $S$. The minimum cardinality of a cost effective dominating set is the cost effective domination number of $G$. The maximum cardinality of a cost effective dominating set is the upper cost effective domination number of $G$, and is denoted by $\gamma_{ce}^+(G).$ A cost effective dominating set is said to be minimal if it does not contain a proper subset which is itself a cost effective dominating in $G$. The maximum cardinality of a minimal cost effective dominating set in a graph $G$ is the minimal cost effective domination number of $G$, and is denoted by $\gamma_{mce}(G)$. In this paper we provide bounds on upper cost effective domination number and minimal cost effective domination number of a connected graph G and characterized those graphs whose upper and minimal cost effective domination numbers are either $1, 2$ or $n-1.$ We also establish a Nordhaus-Gaddum type result for the introduced parameters and solve some realization problems.

Let [Formula: see text] be a simple and undirected graph with vertex set [Formula: see text]. A set [Formula: see text] is called a dominating set of [Formula: see text], if every vertex in [Formula: see text] is adjacent to at least one vertex in [Formula: see text]. The minimum cardinality of a dominating set of [Formula: see text] is called the domination number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text]. A dominating set [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is called isolate dominating, if the induced subgraph [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] contains at least one isolated vertex. The minimum cardinality of an isolate dominating set of [Formula: see text] is called the isolate domination number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we show that for every proper interval graph [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. Moreover, we provide a constructive characterization for trees with equal domination number and isolate domination number. These solve part of an open problem posed by Hamid and Balamurugan [Isolate domination in graphs, Arab J. Math. Sci. 22(2) (2016) 232–241].

A vertex [Formula: see text] of a graph [Formula: see text] is said to vertex-edge dominate every edge incident to [Formula: see text], as well as every edge adjacent to these incident edges. A subset [Formula: see text] is a vertex-edge dominating set (ve-dominating set) if every edge of [Formula: see text] is vertex-edge dominated by at least one vertex of [Formula: see text]. A vertex-edge dominating set is said to be total if its induced subgraph has no isolated vertices. The minimum cardinality of a total vertex-edge dominating set of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is called the total vertex-edge domination number of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we prove that for every nontrivial tree of order [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text] leaves and [Formula: see text] support vertices we have [Formula: see text], and we characterize extremal trees attaining the lower bound.
