Lower Bounds on the Majority Domination Number of Graphs

Let G=(V,E) be a simple graph. For any real valued function f∶V→R and SV, let f(S)=∑ u∈S?f(u). A majority dominating function is a function f∶V→{-1,1} such that f(N)≥1 for at least half the vertices v∈V. Then majority domination number of a graph G is γ maj(G)=min{f(V)|f is a majority dominating function on G}. We obtain lower bounds on this parameter and generalize some results of Henning.

Roman Domination Number and Domination Number of a Tree

A Roman dominating function on a graph G = （V, E） is a function f ： V→{0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that every vertex u for which f（u） = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f（v） = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is the value f（V） = Σu∈Vf（u）. The minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on a graph G, denoted by γR（G）, is called the Roman dominating number of G. In this paper, we will characterize a tree T with γR（T） = γ（T） ＋ 3.

Signed total domatic number of a graph

Let G = （V, E） be a graph, and let f ： V →{-1, 1} be a two-valued function. If ∑x∈N（v） f（x） ≥ 1 for each v ∈ V, where N（v） is the open neighborhood of v, then f is a signed total dominating function on G. A set {fl, f2,… fd} of signed d total dominating functions on G with the property that ∑i=1^d fi（x） ≤ 1 for each x ∈ V, is called a signed total dominating family （of functions） on G. The maximum number of functions in a signed total dominating family on G is the signed total domatic number on G, denoted by dt^s（G）. The properties of the signed total domatic number dt^s（G） are studied in this paper. In particular, we give the sharp bounds of the signed total domatic number of regular graphs, complete bipartite graphs and complete graphs.

Bondage and Reinforcement Number of γ_f for Complete Multipartite Graph

The bondage number of γ f, b f(G) , is defined to be the minimum cardinality of a set of edges whose removal from G results in a graph G′ satisfying γ f(G′)> γ f(G) . The reinforcement number of γ f, r f(G) , is defined to be the minimum cardinality of a set of edges which when added to G results in a graph G′ satisfying γ f(G′)< γ f(G) . G.S.Domke and R.C.Laskar initiated the study of them and gave exact values of b f(G) and r f(G) for some classes of graphs. Exact values of b f(G) and r f(G) for complete multipartite graphs are given and some results are extended.

Diversity of Pareto front: A multiobjective genetic algorithm based on dominating information

In this paper, the diversity information included by dominating number is analyzed, and the probabilistic relationship between dominating number and diversity in the space of objective function is proved. A ranking method based on dominating number is proposed to build the Pareto front. Without increasing basic Pareto method’s computation complexity and introducing new parameters, a new multiobjective genetic algorithm based on proposed ranking method (MOGA-DN) is presented. Simulation results on function optimization and parameters optimization of control system verify the efficiency of MOGA-DN.

Bounds on Fractional Domination of Some Products of Graphs

Let γ f(G) and γ~t f(G) be the fractional domination number and fractional total domination number of a graph G respectively. Hare and Stewart gave some exact fractional domination number of P n×P m (grid graph) with small n and m . But for large n and m , it is difficult to decide the exact fractional domination number. Motivated by this, nearly sharp upper and lower bounds are given to the fractional domination number of grid graphs. Furthermore, upper and lower bounds on the fractional total domination number of strong direct product of graphs are given.

Construction of an Energy-Efficient Detour Non-Split Dominating Set in WSN

Wireless sensor networks(WSNs)are one of the most important improvements due to their remarkable capacities and their continuous growth in various applications.However,the lifetime of WSNs is very confined because of the delimited energy limit of their sensor nodes.This is the reason why energy conservation is considered the main exploration worry for WSNs.For this energy-efficient routing is required to save energy and to subsequently drag out the lifetime of WSNs.In this report we use the Ant Colony Optimization(ACO)method and are evaluated using the Genetic Algorithm(GA),based on the Detour non-split dominant set(GA)In this research,we use the energy efficiency returnee non-split dominating set(DNSDS).A set S⊆V is supposed to be a DNSDS of G when the graph G=(V,E)is expressed as both detours as well as a non-split dominating set of G.Let the detour non-split domination number be addressed asγ_dns(G)and is the minimum order of its detour non-split dominating set.Any DNSDS of orderγdns(G)is aγdns-set of G.Here,theγ_dns(G)of various standard graphs is resolved and some of its general properties are contemplated.A connected graph usually has an order n with detour non-split domination number as n or n–1 are characterized.Also connected graphs of order n≥4 and detour diameter D≤4 with detour non-split dominating number n or n−1 or n−2 are additionally portrayed.While considering any pair of positive integers to be specific a and b,there exists a connected graph G which is normally indicated as dn(G)=a,γ(G)=b andγdns(G)=a+b−2,hereγdns(G)indicates the detour domination number and dn(G)indicates the detour number of a graph.The time is taken for the construction and the size of DNSDS are considered for examining the performance of the proposed method.The simulation result confirms that the DNSDS nodes are energy efficient.

A function is a signed dominating function f : V(G)→{−1,1} if for every vertex v ∈ V(G), the sum of closed neighborhood weights of v is greater or equal to 1. The signed domination number γs(G) of G is the minimum weight of a signed dominating function on G. In this paper, we calculate the signed domination numbers of the Cartesian product of two paths Pm and Pn for m = 6, 7 and arbitrary n.

Independent Roman{2}-Domination in Trees

For a graph G=(V,E),a Roman{2}-dominating function f:V→{0,1,2}has the property that for every vertex v∈V with f(v)=0,either v is adjacent to at least one vertex u for which f(u)=2,or at least two vertices u1 and u2 for which f(u1)=f(u2)=1.A Roman{2}-dominating function f=(V0,V1,V2)is called independent if V1∪V2 is an independent set.The weight of an independent Roman{2}-dominating function f is the valueω(f)=Σv∈V f(v),and the independent Roman{2}-domination number i{R2}(G)is the minimum weight of an independent Roman{2}-dominating function on G.In this paper,we characterize all trees with i{R2}(T)=γ(T)+1,and give a linear time algorithm to compute the value of i{R2}(T)for any tree T.

The minimum cardinality of such a dominating set is denoted by and is called the Inj-equitable domination number of G. In this paper, we introduce the injective equitable domination of a graph and study its relation with other domination parameters. The minimal injective equitable dominating set, the injective equitable independence number , and the injective equitable domatic number are defined.

On Total Domination Polynomials of Certain Graphs

We have introduced the total domination polynomial for any simple non isolated graph G in [7] and is defined by Dt（G, x） = ∑in=yt（G） dr（G, i） x＇, where dr（G, i） is the cardinality of total dominating sets of G of size i, and yt（G） is the total domination number of G. In [7] We have obtained some properties of Dt（G, x） and its coefficients. Also, we have calculated the total domination polynomials of complete graph, complete bipartite graph, join of two graphs and a graph consisting of disjoint components. In this paper, we presented for any two isomorphic graphs the total domination polynomials are same, but the converse is not true. Also, we proved that for any n vertex transitive graph of order n and for any v ∈ V（G）, dt（G, i） = 7 dt（V）（G, i）, 1 〈 i 〈 n. And, for any k-regular graph of order n, dr（G, i） = （7）, i 〉 n-k and d,（G, n-k） = （kn） - n. We have calculated the total domination polynomial of Petersen graph D,（P, x） = 10X4 ＋ 72x5 ＋ 140x6 ＋ 110x7 ＋ 45x8 ＋ [ 0x9 ＋ x10. Also, for any two vertices u and v of a k-regular graph Hwith N（u） ≠ N（v） and if Dr（G, x） = Dt（ H, x ）, then G is also a k-regular graph.
