ABSTRACT
We study domination between different types of walks connecting two non-adjacent vertices u and v of a graph (shortest paths, induced paths, paths, tolled walks). We succeeded in characterizing those graphs in which every uv-walk of one particular kind dominates every uv-walk of other specific kind. We thereby obtained new characterizations of standard graph classes like chordal, interval and superfragile graphs.

A digraph is 3-quasi-transitive (resp. 3-transitive), if for any path x0x1 x2x3 of length 3, x0 and x3 are adjacent (resp. x0 dominates x3). CÃ©sar HernÃ¡ndez-Cruz conjectured that if D is a 3-quasi-transitive digraph, then the underlying graph of D, UG(D), admits a 3-transitive orientation....

In any democratic set up, the party which has majority of seats is given the opportunity to rule the state. To model such instances, the concept majority domination is introduced. This chapter deals with partitioning the vertex set into as many disjoint subsets, each being a majority dominating...

It has been shown (J. Harant and D. Rautenbach, Domination in bipartite graphs. Discrete Math. 309:113-122, ) that the domination number of a graph of order n and minimum degree at least 2 that does not contain cycles of length 4, 5, 7, 10 nor 13 is at most $${\frac{3n}{8}}$$. They believed that...

Let G be a graph without isolated vertices. A total dominator coloring of a graph G is a proper coloring of the graph G with the extra property that every vertex in the graph G properly dominates a color class. The smallest number of colors for which there exists a total dominator coloring of G...

A function f : V (G) â†’ {-1, 1} defined on the vertices of a graph G is a signed dominating function (SDF) if f(N[v]) â©¾ 1, âˆ€ v Ïµ V , where N[v] is the closed neighborhood of v. A SDF f is minimal if there does not exists signed dominating function g, g â‰  f such that...

A paired-dominating set of a graph G is a dominating set of vertices whose induced subgraph has a perfect matching, while the paired-domination number, denoted by Î³( G), is the minimum cardinality of a paired-dominating set in G. In this paper we investigate the paired-domination number in...

A path Ï€ = (v1, v2, . . ., vk+1) in a graph G = (V,E) is a downhill path if for every i, 1 â‰¤ i â‰¤ k, deg(vi) â‰¥ deg(vi+1), where deg(vi) denotes the degree of vertex vi âˆˆ V. The downhill domination number equals the minimum cardinality of a set S âŠ† V having the...
