That is, for every v ∈ V, f（N[v]） ≥ 1. The definition of total P-dominating function is obtained by simply changing ‘closed＇ neighborhood N[v] in the definition of P-dominating function to ‘open＇ neighborhood N（v）. The （total） P-domination number of a graph G is defined to be the infimum of weight w（f） = ∑v ∈ V f（v） taken over all （total） P-dominating function f. Similarly, the P-edge and P-star dominating functions can be defined. In this paper we survey some recent progress on the topic of dominating functions in graph theory. Especially, we are interested in P-, P-edge and P-star dominating functions of graphs with integer values.展开更多

文摘An upper bound is established on the parameter Γ -(G) for a cubic graph G and two infinite families of 3-connected graphs G k, G * k are constructed to show that the bound is sharp and, moreover, the difference Γ -(G * k)-γ s(G * k) can be arbitrarily large, where Г -(G * k) and γ s(G * k) are the upper minus domination and signed domination numbers of G * k, respectively. Thus two open problems are solved.
