A survey on characterizing trees using domination number

Y Manimuthu, K Kumarasamy - Mathematics, 2022 - mdpi.com
Ever since the discovery of domination numbers by Claude Berge in the year 1958, graph
domination has become an important domain in graph theory that has strengthened itself as …

Bounds for the independence number of a graph

W Willis - 2011 - scholarscompass.vcu.edu
The independence number of a graph is the maximum number of vertices from the vertex set
of the graph such that no two vertices are adjacent. We systematically examine a collection …

[HTML][HTML] Automated conjecturing I: Fajtlowicz's Dalmatian heuristic revisited

CE Larson, N Van Cleemput - Artificial Intelligence, 2016 - Elsevier
We discuss a new implementation of, and new experiments with, Fajtlowicz's Dalmatian
conjecture-making heuristic. Our program makes conjectures about relations of real number …

[PDF][PDF] Bounding the locating-total domination number of a tree in terms of its annihilation number

W Ning, M Lu, K Wang - Discussiones Mathematicae Graph …, 2018 - bibliotekanauki.pl
Suppose G=(V,E) is a graph with no isolated vertex. A subset S of V is called a locating-total
dominating set of G if every vertex in V is adjacent to a vertex in S, and for every pair of …

On some conjectures concerning critical independent sets of a graph

T Short - arXiv preprint arXiv:1509.05057, 2015 - arxiv.org
Let $ G $ be a simple graph with vertex set $ V (G) $. A set $ S\subseteq V (G) $ is
independent if no two vertices from $ S $ are adjacent. For $ X\subseteq V (G) $, the …

[HTML][HTML] Relating the annihilation number and the 2-domination number of a tree

WJ Desormeaux, MA Henning, DF Rall, A Yeo - Discrete Mathematics, 2014 - Elsevier
A set S of vertices in a graph G is a 2-dominating set if every vertex of G not in S is adjacent
to at least two vertices in S. The 2-domination number γ 2 (G) is the minimum cardinality of a …

New results relating independence and matchings

Y Caro, R Davila, R Pepper - arXiv preprint arXiv:1909.09093, 2019 - arxiv.org
In this paper we study relationships between the\emph {matching number}, written $\mu (G)
$, and the\emph {independence number}, written $\alpha (G) $. Our first main result is to …

[HTML][HTML] Critical and maximum independent sets of a graph

A Jarden, VE Levit, E Mandrescu - Discrete Applied Mathematics, 2018 - Elsevier
Let G be a simple graph with vertex set V G. A set A⊆ VG is independent if no two vertices
from A are adjacent. If α G+ μ G=| VG|, then G is called a König–Egerváry graph (Deming …

M Jakovac - Discrete Applied Mathematics, 2019 - Elsevier
Abstract The 2-domination number γ 2 (G) of a graph G is the order of a smallest set D⊆ V
(G) such that each vertex of V (G)∖ D is adjacent to at least two vertices in D. The …
