Differentiating Odd Dominating Sets in Graphs

Let $G=(V(G),E(G))$ be a simple and undirected graph. A dominating set \linebreak $S\subseteq V(G)$ is called a \textit{differentiating odd dominating set} if for every vertex $v\in V(G)$, \linebreak $|N[v]\cap S|\equiv 1(mod\ 2)$ and $N_G[u]\cap S\neq N_G[v]\cap S$ for every two distinct vertices $u$ and $v$ of $V(G)$. The minimum cardinality of a differentiating odd dominating set of $G$, denoted by $\gamma_D^o(G)$, is called the \textit{differentiating odd domination number}. In this paper, we discuss \linebreak differentiating odd dominating set in some graphs and give relationships between the \linebreak differentiating odd domination, odd domination, and differentiating-domination numbers. Moreover, we characterize the differentiating odd dominating sets in graphs resulting from join, corona, and lexicographic product of graphs and determine the differentiating odd domination numbers of these graphs.

On Minimal Geodetic Hop Domination in Graphs

Let $G$ be a nontrivial connected graph with vertex set $V(G)$. A set $S \subseteq V(G)$ is a geodetic hop dominating set of $G$ if the following two conditions hold for each $x\in V(G)\setminus S$: $(1)$ $x$ lies in some $u$-$v$ geodesic in $G$ with $u,v\in S$, and $(2)$ $x$ is of distance $2$ from a vertex in $S$. The minimum cardinality $\gamma_{hg}(G)$ of a geodetic hop dominating set of $G$ is the geodetic hop domination number of $G$. A geodetic hop dominating set $S$ is a minimal geodetic hop dominating set if $S$ does not contain a proper subset that is itself geodetic hop dominating set. The maximum cardinality of a minimal geodetic hop dominating set in $G$ is the \emph{upper geodetic hop domination number} of $G$, and is denoted by $\gamma^{+}_{hg}(G)$. This paper initiates the study of the minimal geodetic hop dominating set and the corresponding upper geodetic hop domination number of nontrivial connected graphs. Interestingly, every pair of positive integers $a$ and $b$ with $2\le a\le b$ is realizable as the geodetic domination number and the upper geodetic hop domination number, respectively, of some graph. Furthermore, this paper investigates the concept in the join, corona and lexicographic product of graphs.

Omega Indices of Strong and Lexicographic Products of Graphs

Background:: The degree sequence of a graph is the list of its vertex degrees arranged in usually increasing order. Many properties of the graphs realized from a degree sequence can be deduced by means of a recently introduced graph invariant called omega invariant. Methods:: We used the definitions of the considered graph products together with the list of de-gree sequences of these graph products for some well-know graph classes. Naturally, the vertex degree and edge degree partitions are used. As the main theme of the paper is the omega invari-ant, we frequently used the definition and fundamental properties of this very new invariant for our calculations. Also, some algebraic properties of these products are deduced in line with some recent publications following the same fashion Results:: In this paper, we determine the degree sequences of strong and lexicographic products of two graphs and obtain the general form of the degree sequences of both products. We obtain a general formula for the omega invariant of strong and lexicographic products of two graphs. The algebraic structures of strong and lexicographic products are obtained. Moreover, we prove that strong and lexicographic products are not distributive over each other Conclusion:: We have obtained the general expression for degree sequences of two important products of graphs and a general expression for omega invariants of strong and lexicographic products. Furthermore, we have obtained algebraic structures of strong and lexicographic prod-ucts in terms of their degree sequences. Also, it has been found that the disruptive property does not hold for strong and lexicographic products.

Disjoint Perfect Secure Domination in the Cartesian Product and Lexicographic Product of Graphs

Let G be a graph. A dominating set D⊆V(G) is called a secure dominating set of G if for each vertex u∈V(G)∖D, there exists a vertex v∈D such that uv∈ E(G) and the set (D∖{v})∪{u} is a dominating set of G. If every u∈V(G)∖D is adjacent to exactly one vertex in D, then D is a perfect secure dominating set of G. Let D be a minimum perfect secure dominating set of G. If S⊆V(G)∖D is a perfect secure dominating set of G, then S is called an inverse perfect secure dominating set of G with respect to D. A disjoint perfect secure dominating set of G is the set C=D∪S⊆V(G). Furthermore, the disjoint perfect secure domination number, denoted by γ_ps γ_ps (G), is the minimum cardinality of a disjoint perfect secure dominating set of G. A disjoint perfect secure dominating set of cardinality γ_ps γ_ps (G) is called γ_ps γ_ps-set. In this paper, we extended the study on the concept of disjoint perfect secure domination in graphs. Furthermore, we characterized the disjoint perfect secure domination in the Cartesian product and lexicographic product of two graphs.

Identifying Secure Domination in the Cartesian and Lexicographic Products of Graphs

Let G be a connected simple graph. A subset S of V(G) is a dominating set of G if for every v∈V(G)\S, there exists x∈S such that xv∈E(G). An identifying code of a graph G is a dominating set C⊆V(G) such that for every v∈V(G),N_G [v]∩C is distinct. An identifying code of a graph G is an identifying secure dominating set if for each u∈V(G)\C, there exists v∈C such that uv∈E(G) and the set (C\{v})∪{u} is a dominating set of G. The minimum cardinality of an identifying secure dominating set of G, denoted by γ_s^ID, is called the identifying secure domination number of G. In this paper, the researchers initiate the study of the concept and give some important results. In particular, the researchers show some properties of the identifying secure dominating sets in the Cartesian product and lexicographic product of two connected graphs.

The equidistant dimension of graphs: NP-completeness and the case of lexicographic product graphs

<abstract><p>Let $ V(G) $ be the vertex set of a simple and connected graph $ G $. A subset $ S\subseteq V(G) $ is a distance-equalizer set of $ G $ if, for every pair of vertices $ u, v\in V(G)\setminus S $, there exists a vertex in $ S $ that is equidistant to $ u $ and $ v $. The minimum cardinality among the distance-equalizer sets of $ G $ is the equidistant dimension of $ G $, denoted by $ \xi(G) $. In this paper, we studied the problem of finding $ \xi(G\circ H) $, where $ G\circ H $ denotes the lexicographic product of two graphs $ G $ and $ H $. The aim was to express $ \xi(G\circ H) $ in terms of parameters of $ G $ and $ H $. In particular, we considered the cases in which $ G $ has a domination number equal to one, as well as the cases where $ G $ is a path or a cycle, among others. Furthermore, we showed that $ \xi(G)\le \xi(G\circ H)\le \xi(G)|V(H)| $ for every connected graph $ G $ and every graph $ H $ and we discussed the extreme cases. We also showed that the general problem of finding the equidistant dimension of a graph is NP-hard.</p></abstract>

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite simple graph. A set [Formula: see text] is a total hop dominating set of [Formula: see text] if for every [Formula: see text], there exists [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text]. Any total hop dominating set of [Formula: see text] of minimum cardinality is a [Formula: see text]-set of [Formula: see text]. A total hop dominating set [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] which intersects every [Formula: see text]-set of [Formula: see text] is a transversal total hop dominating set.

Next, we solve some realization problems involving [Formula: see text] with other parameters of [Formula: see text]. Finally, we investigate the transversal total hop domination in the complementary prism, corona, and lexicographic product of graphs.

Double total domination in the generalized lexicographic product of graphs

Let G be a graph of minimum degree at least two. A set D ⊆ V(G) is said to be a double total dominating set of G if |N (v) ∩ D| ≥ 2 for every vertex v ∈ V(G). The double total domination number of G, denoted by γ×2,t (G), is the minimum cardinality among all double total dominating sets of G. In this paper, we study this parameter for any generalized lexicographic product graph . In particular, we show that , where represents the total {2}-domination number of .

2-Locating Sets in a Graph

Let $G$ be an undirected graph with vertex-set $V(G)$ and edge-set $E(G)$, respectively. A set $S\subseteq V(G)$ is a $2$-locating set of $G$ if $\big|[\big(N_G(x)\backslash N_G(y)\big)\cap S] \cup [\big(N_G(y)\backslash N_G(x)\big)\cap S]\big|\geq 2$, for all \linebreak $x,y\in V(G)\backslash S$ with $x\neq y$, and for all $v\in S$ and $w\in V(G)\backslash S$, $\big(N_G(v)\backslash N_G(w)\big)\cap S \neq \varnothing$ or $\big(N_G(w)\backslash N_G[v]\big) \cap S\neq \varnothing$. In this paper, we investigate the concept and study 2-locating sets in graphs resulting from some binary operations. Specifically, we characterize the 2-locating sets in the join, corona, edge corona and lexicographic product of graphs, and determine bounds or exact values of the 2-locating number of each of these graphs.

On Double Roman Dominating Functions in Graphs

Let G be a connected graph. A function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2, 3} is a double Roman dominating function of G if for each v ∈ V (G) with f(v) = 0, v has two adjacent vertices u and w for which f(u) = f(w) = 2 or v has an adjacent vertex u for which f(u) = 3, and for each v ∈ V (G) with f(v) = 1, v is adjacent to a vertex u for which either f(u) = 2 or f(u) = 3. The minimum weight ωG(f) = P v∈V (G) f(v) of a double Roman dominating function f of G is the double Roman domination number of G. In this paper, we continue the study of double Roman domination introduced and studied by R.A. Beeler et al. in [2]. First, we characterize some double Roman domination numbers with small values in terms of the domination numbers and 2-domination numbers. Then we determine the double Roman domination numbers of the join, corona, complementary prism and lexicographic product of graphs.

. Let G be a connected graph. A set S ⊆ V (G) is an outer-connected 2-resolving hop dominating set of G if S is a 2-resolving hop dominating set of G and S = V (G) or the subgraph ⟨V (G)\S⟩ induced by V (G)\S is connected. The outer-connected 2-resolving hop domination number of G, denoted by γ^c2Rh(G) is the smallest cardinality of an outer-connected 2-resolving hop dominating set of G. This study aims to combine the concept of outer-connected hop domination with the 2-resolving hop dominating sets of graphs. The main results generated in this study include the characterization of outer-connected 2-resolving hop dominating sets in the join, corona, edge corona and lexicographic product of graphs, as well as their corresponding bounds or exact values.

From w-Domination in Graphs to Domination Parameters in Lexicographic Product Graphs

A wide range of parameters of domination in graphs can be defined and studied through a common approach that was recently introduced in [https://doi.org/10.26493/1855-3974.2318.fb9] under the name of w-domination, where w=(w_0,w_1, dots ,w_l) is a vector of non-negative integers such that w_0ge 1. Given a graph G, a function f: V(G)longrightarrow {0,1,dots ,l} is said to be a w-dominating function if sum _{uin N(v)}f(u)ge w_i for every vertex v with f(v)=i, where N(v) denotes the open neighbourhood of vin V(G). The weight of f is defined to be omega (f)=sum _{vin V(G)} f(v), while the w-domination number of G, denoted by gamma _{w}(G), is defined as the minimum weight among all w-dominating functions on G. A wide range of well-known domination parameters can be defined and studied through this approach. For instance, among others, the vector w=(1,0) corresponds to the case of standard domination, w=(2,1) corresponds to double domination, w=(2,0,0) corresponds to Italian domination, w=(2,0,1) corresponds to quasi-total Italian domination, w=(2,1,1) corresponds to total Italian domination, w=(2,2,2) corresponds to total {2}-domination, while w=(k,k-1,dots ,1,0) corresponds to {k}-domination. In this paper, we show that several domination parameters of lexicographic product graphs Gcirc H are equal to gamma _{w}(G) for some vector win {2}times {0,1,2}^{l} and lin {2,3}. The decision on whether the equality holds for a specific vector w will depend on the value of some domination parameters of H. In particular, we focus on quasi-total Italian domination, total Italian domination, 2-domination, double domination, total {2}-domination, and double total domination of lexicographic product graphs.

Stable Locating-Dominating Sets in the Edge Corona and Lexicographic Product of Graphs

A set S ⊆ V (G) of an undirected graph G is a locating-dominating set of G if for each v ∈ V (G) \ S, there exists w ∈ S such tha vw ∈ E(G) and NG(x) ∩ S ̸= NG(y) ∩ S for any two distinct vertices x and y in V (G) \ S. S is a stable locating-dominating set of G if it is a locating-dominating set of G and S \ {v} is a locating-dominating set of G for each v ∈ S. The minimum cardinality of a stable locating-dominating set of G, denoted by γSLD(G), is called the stable locating-domination number of G. In this paper, we investigate this concept and the corresponding parameter for edge corona and lexicographic product of graphs.

Strong Resolving Domination in the Lexicographic Product of Graphs

A subset S ⊆ V (G) is a strong resolving dominating set of G if S is a dominating set and for every pair of vertices u, v ∈ V (G), there exists a vertex w ∈ S such that u ∈ IG[v, w] or IG[u, w]. The smallest cardinality of a strong resolving dominating set of G is called the strong resolving domination number of G. In this paper, we characterize the strong resolving dominating sets in the lexicographic product of graphs and determine the corresponding resolving domination number.
