Signed domination number of hypercubes

The [Formula: see text]-cube graph or hypercube [Formula: see text] is the graph whose vertex set is the set of all [Formula: see text]-dimensional Boolean vectors, two vertices being joined if and only if they differ in exactly one co-ordinate. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the signed domination number of this hypercube graphs. In this paper, signed domination number [Formula: see text]-cube graph for odd [Formula: see text] is found and the lower and upper bounds of hypercube for even [Formula: see text] are found.

Signed domination and Mycielski’s structure in graphs

Let G = (V, E) be a graph. The function f : V(G) → {−1, 1} is a signed dominating function if for every vertex v ∈ V(G), ∑x∈NG[v] f(x)≥1. The value of ω(f) = ∑x∈V(G) f(x) is called the weight of f. The signed domination number of G is the minimum weight of a signed dominating function of G. In this paper, we initiate the study of the signed domination numbers of Mycielski graphs and find some upper bounds for this parameter. We also calculate the signed domination number of the Mycielski graph when the underlying graph is a star, a wheel, a fan, a Dutch windmill, a cycle, a path or a complete bipartite graph.
