For a graph $G = (V, E)$ with vertex set $V$ and edge set $E$, a subset $F$ of $E$ is called an $\emph{edge dominating set}$ (resp. a $\emph{total edge dominating set}$) if every edge in $E\backslash F$ (resp. in $E$) is adjacent to at least one edge in $F$, the minimum cardinality of an edge dominating set (resp. a total edge dominating set) of $G$ is the {\em edge domination number} (resp. {\em total edge domination number}) of $G$, denoted by $γ^{'}(G)$ (resp. $γ_t^{'}(G)$). In the present paper, we prove that the total edge domination problem is NP-complete for bipartite graphs with maximum degree 3. We also design a linear-time algorithm for solving this problem for trees. Finally, for a graph $G$, we give the inequality $γ^{'}(G)\leqslant γ^{'}_{t}(G)\leqslant 2γ^{'}(G)$ and characterize the trees $T$ which obtain the upper or lower bounds in the inequality.
Motivated by the question of computing the probability of successful power domination by placing k monitors uniformly at random, in this paper we give a recursive formula to count the number of power domination sets of size k in a labeled complete m-ary tree. As a corollary we show that the desired probability can be computed in exponential with linear exponent time.
Mobile guards on the vertices of a graph are used to defend the graph against an infinite sequence of attacks on vertices. A guard must move from a neighboring vertex to an attacked vertex (we assume attacks happen only at vertices containing no guard). More than one guard is allowed to move in response to an attack. The $m$-eternal domination number is the minimum number of guards needed to defend the graph. We characterize the trees achieving several upper and lower bounds on the $m$-eternal domination number.
For a graph $G$ with domination number $γ$, Hedetniemi, Jacobs and Trevisan [European Journal of Combinatorics 53 (2016) 66-71] proved that $m_{G}[0,1)\leq γ$, where $m_{G}[0,1)$ means the number of Laplacian eigenvalues of $G$ in the interval $[0,1)$. Let $T$ be a tree with diameter $d$. In this paper, we show that $m_{T}[0,1)\geq (d+1)/3$. However, such a lower bound is false for general graphs. All trees achieving the lower bound are completely characterized. Moreover, for a tree $T$, we establish a relation between the Laplacian eigenvalues, the diameter and the domination number by showin…
一个图$G$的$k-$拟完美控制集（$k\ge 1$）是一个顶点子集$S$，使得不在$S$中的每个顶点都与$S$中的至少一个且至多k个顶点相邻.用$γ_{\stackrel{}{1k}}(G)$表示$G$中最小k-拟完全控制集的基数.这些集合最早由Chellali et al.（2013）作为完美支配概念的推广而引入。准完美支配链$γ_{\stackrel{}{11}}(G)\geγ_{\stackrel{}{12}}(G)\ge\dots\geγ_{\stackrel{}{1Δ}}(G)=γ(G)$表示当你向更完美的支配移动时，它在大小上损失了什么。我们提供了一个上界的$γ_{\stackrel{}{1k}}(T)$在任何树$T$和树实现这个界限的特点。证明了存在满足该链中所有可能的等式和不等式的树，并给出了在任意树上计算$γ_{\stackrel{}{1k}}(T)$的线性算法。
The zeroth-order general Randić index of graph $G=(V_G,E_G)$, denoted by $^0R_α(G)$, is the sum of items $(d_{v})^α$ over all vertices $v\in V_G$, where $α$ is a pertinently chosen real number. In this paper, we obtain the sharp upper and lower bounds on $^0R_α$ of trees with a domination number $γ$, in intervals $α\in(-\infty,0)\cup(1,\infty)$ and $α\in(0,1)$, respectively. The corresponding extremal graphs of these bounds are also characterized.

In this paper we describe a strategy for Dominator that finishes the total domination game in at most $3/4n$ moves for every graph $G$ on $n$ vertices without any isolated vertices or edges, confirming the 3/4-conjecture for the total domination game made by Henning, Klav{ž}ar, and Rall.
The total domination number $γ_{t}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a smallest set $D\subseteq V(G)$ such that each vertex of $G$ has a neighbor in $D$. The annihilation number $a(G)$ of $G$ is the largest integer $k$ such that there exist $k$ different vertices in $G$ with the degree sum at most $m(G)$. It is conjectured that $γ_{t}(G)\leq a(G)+1$ holds for every nontrivial connected graph $G$. The conjecture has been proved for graphs with minimum degree at least $3$, trees, certain tree-like graphs, block graphs, and cactus graphs. In the main result of this paper it is proved that …
A total dominating set of a graph G with no isolated vertices is a subset S of the vertex set such that every vertex of G is adjacent to a vertex in S. The total domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set of G. In this paper, we study the total domination number of middle graphs. Indeed, we obtain tight bounds for this number in terms of the order of the graph G. We also compute the total domination number of the middle graph of some known families of graphs explicitly. Moreover, some Nordhaus-Gaddum-like relations are presented for the total domination number …
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. A subset $D$ of $V$ is a \textit{restrained dominating set} if every vertex in $V \setminus D$ is adjacent to a vertex in $D$ and to a vertex in $V \setminus D$. The \textit{restrained domination number}, denoted by $γ_r(G)$, is the smallest cardinality of a restrained dominating set of $G$. A function $f : V \rightarrow \{0, 1, 2\}$ is a \textit{restrained Italian dominating function} on $G$ if (i) for each vertex $v \in V$ for which $f(v)=0$, it holds that $\sum_{u \in N_G(v)} f(u) \geq 2$, (ii) the subgraph induced by $\{v \in V \mid f(v)=0 \}$ has no isolated vert…
On total domination in the Cartesian product of graphs
Ho在[A note on the total dominance number，Util.Math. 77（2008）97- 100]中证明了任意两个没有孤立点的图的笛卡儿积的总控制数至少是它们的总控制数之积的一半。本文推广了Lu和Hou在[图与$K_2$或$C_n$的笛卡儿积的全控制，Util. Math.83（2010）313- 322]，通过表征图对$G$和$H$，其中$γ_t(G\Box H)=\frac{1}{2}γ_t(G) γ_t(H)\,$，无论何时$γ_t(H)=2$。此外，我们还得到了一类具有$γ_t(G_n)=2n$的图$G_n$，它们渐近地逼近$γ_t(G_n\Box G_n)\ge \frac{1}{2}γ_t(G_n)^2$中的等式.
