An Upper Bound for Total Domination Number

Let G=(V, E) be a simple graph without an isolate. A subset T of V is a total dominating set of G if for any there exists at least one vertex such that .The total domination number γ1(G) of G is the minimum order of a total dominating set of G. This paper proves that if G is a connected graph with n≥3 vertices and minimum degree at least two.

On Signed Edge Total Domination Numbers of Graphs

Let G = （V,E） be a graph.A function f ： E → {-1,1} is said to be a signed edge total dominating function （SETDF） of G if e ∈N（e） f（e ） ≥ 1 holds for every edge e ∈ E（G）.The signed edge total domination number γ st （G） of G is defined as γ st （G） = min{ e∈E（G） f（e）｜f is an SETDF of G}.In this paper we obtain some new lower bounds of γ st （G）.

Signed Total Domination in Graphs

Let G=(V,E) be a simple graph. For any real valued function f:V →R, the weight of f is f(V) = ∑f(v) over all vertices v∈V . A signed total dominating function is a function f:V→{-1,1} such that f(N(v)) ≥1 for every vertex v∈V . The signed total domination number of a graph G equals the minimum weight of a signed total dominating function on G . In this paper, some properties of the signed total domination number of a graph G are discussed.

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.

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.

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.

A lower bound on the total signed domination numbers of graphs

Let G be a finite connected simple graph with a vertex set V (G) and an edge set E(G). A total signed domination function of G is a function f : V (G) ∪ E(G) → {?1, 1}. The weight of f is w(f) = Σ x∈V(G)∪E(G) f(x). For an element x ∈ V (G) ∪ E(G), we define $f[x] = \sum\nolimits_{y \in N_T [x]} {f(y)} $ . A total signed domination function of G is a function f : V (G) ∪ E(G) → {?1, 1} such that f[x] ? 1 for all x ∈ V (G) ∪ E(G). The total signed domination number γ s * (G) of G is the minimum weight of a total signed domination function on G.In this paper, we obtain some lower bounds for the total signed domination number of a graph G and compute the exact values of γ s * (G) when G is C n and P n .
