Total domination stable graphs upon edge addition
AbstractA set S of vertices in a graph G is a total dominating set if every vertex of G is adjacent to some vertex in S. The minimum cardinality of a total dominating set of G is the total domination number of G. A graph is total domination edge addition stable if the addition of an arbitrary edge has no effect on the total domination number. In this paper, we characterize total domination edge addition stable graphs. We determine a sharp upper bound on the total domination number of total domination edge addition stable graphs, and we determine which combinations of order and total domination number are attainable. We finish this work with an investigation of claw-free total domination edge addition stable graphs
3-Factor-criticality in double domination edge critical graphs
A vertex subset of a graph is a double dominating set of if
for each vertex of , where is the set of the
vertex and vertices adjacent to . The double domination number of ,
denoted by , is the cardinality of a smallest double
dominating set of . A graph is said to be double domination edge
critical if for any edge . A double domination edge critical graph with is called --critical. A graph is
-factor-critical if has a perfect matching for each set of
vertices in . In this paper we show that is 3-factor-critical if is
a 3-connected claw-free --critical graph of odd order
with minimum degree at least 4 except a family of graphs.Comment: 14 page
Global Domination Stable Graphs
A set of vertices S in a graph G is a global dominating set (GDS) of G if S is a dominating set for both G and its complement G. The minimum cardinality of a global dominating set of G is the global domination number of G. We explore the effects of graph modifications on the global domination number. In particular, we explore edge removal, edge addition, and vertex removal
