On the r-dynamic coloring of some fan graph families

In this paper, we determine the r-dynamic chromatic number of the fan graph Fm,n and determine sharp bounds of this graph invariant for four related families of graphs: The middle graph M(Fm,n ), the total graph T (Fm,n ), the central graph C(Fm,n ) and the line graph L(Fm,n ). In addition, we determine the r-dynamic chromatic number of each one of these four families of graphs in case of being m = 1.

On k-rainbow domination in middle graphs

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. A function $f : V(G) \rightarrow \mathcal{P}(\{1, 2, \dotsc, k\})$ is a \textit{$k$-rainbow dominating function} on $G$ if for each vertex $v \in V(G)$ for which $f(v)= \emptyset$, it holds that $\bigcup_{u \in N(v)}f(u) = \{1, 2, \dotsc, k\}$. The weight of a $k$-rainbow dominating function is the value $\sum_{v \in V(G)}|f(v)|$. The \textit{$k$-rainbow domination number} $\gamma_{rk}(G)$ is the minimum weight of a $k$-rainbow dominating function on $G$. In this paper, we initiate the study of $k$-rainbow domination numbers in middle graphs. We define the concept of a middle $k$-rainbow dominating function, obtain some bounds related to it and determine the middle $3$-rainbow domination number of some classes of graphs. We also provide upper and lower bounds for the middle $3$-rainbow domination number of trees in terms of the matching number. In addition, we determine the $3$-rainbow domatic number for the middle graph of paths and cycles.

On r-dynamic coloring of comb graphs

An r-dynamic coloring of a graph G is a proper coloring of G such that every vertex in V(G) has neighbors in at least $\min\{d(v),r\}$ different color classes. The r-dynamic chromatic number of graph G denoted as $\chi_r (G)$, is the least k such that G has a coloring. In this paper we obtain the r-dynamic chromatic number of the central graph, middle graph, total graph, line graph, para-line graph and sub-division graph of the comb graph $P_n\odot K_1$ denoted by $C(P_n\odot K_1), M(P_n\odot K_1), T(P_n\odot K_1), L(P_n\odot K_1), P(P_n\odot K_1)$ and $S(P_n\odot K_1)$ respectively by finding the upper bound and lower bound for the r-dynamic chromatic number of the Comb graph.

Bounds on Co-Independent Liar’s Domination in Graphs

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.

Restrained Edge Domination Number of Some Path Related Graphs

For a graph G = (V,E), a set S ⊆ V(S ⊆ E) is a restrained dominating (restrained edge dominating) set if every vertex (edge) not in S is adjacent (incident) to a vertex (edge) in S and to a vertex (edge) in V - S(E-S). The minimum cardinality of a restrained dominating (restrained edge dominating) set of G is called restrained domination (restrained edge domination) number of G, denoted by γr (G) (γre(G). The restrained edge domination number of some standard graphs are already investigated while in this paper the restrained edge domination number like degree splitting, switching, square and middle graph obtained from path.

On b-chromatic number of theta graph families

In this paper, we investigate the $b$-chromatic number for the theta graph $\theta(s_1, s_2, \cdots, s_n)$, middle graph of theta graph $M(G)$, total graph of theta graph $T(G)$, line graph of theta graph $L(G)$ and the central graph of theta graph $C(G)$.
