Let G be a simple graph. A set S⊆V is a dominating set of G, if every vertex in V∖S is adjacent to at least one vertex in S. We denote the family of dominating sets of a graph G with cardinality i by 𝒟(G,i). In this paper we introduce graphs with specific constructions, which are denoted by G(m). We construct the dominating sets of G(m) by dominating sets of graphs G(m−1), G(m−2), and G(m−3). As an example of G(m), we consider 𝒟(Pn,i). As a consequence, we obtain the recursive formula for the number of dominating sets of G(m).

Let $G = (V, E)$ be a simple graph of order $n$. A  total dominating set of $G$ is a subset $D$ of $V$, such that every vertex of $V$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in  $D$. The total domination number of $G$ is  minimum cardinality of  total dominating set in $G$ and is denoted by $\gamma_t(G)$. The total domination polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial $D_t(G,x)=\sum_{i=\gamma_t(G)}^n d_t(G,i)$, where $d_t(G,i)$ is the number of total dominating sets of $G$ of size $i$. In this paper, we study roots of the total domination polynomial of some graphs.  We show that  all roots of $D_t(G, x)$ lie in the circle with center $(-1, 0)$ and radius $\sqrt[\delta]{2^n-1}$, where $\delta$ is the minimum degree of $G$. As a consequence, we prove that if $\delta\geq \frac{2n}{3}$,  then every integer root of $D_t(G, x)$ lies in the set $\{-3,-2,-1,0\}$.

Let G=(V(G),E(G)) be a simple graph. A neighborhood connected k-fair dominating set (nckfd-set) is a dominating set S subset V(G) such that |N(u)  intersection S|=k for every u is an element of V(G)\S and the induced subgraph of S is connected. In this paper, we introduce and invistigate the notion of neighborhood connected k-fair domination in graphs. We also characterize such dominating sets in the join, corona, lexicographic and cartesians products of graphs and determine the exact value or sharp bounds of their corresponding neighborhood connected k-fair domination number.

Let G = (V (G), E(G)) be a simple graph and let α ∈ (0, 1]. A set S ⊆ V (G) isan α-partial dominating set in G if |N[S]| ≥ α |V (G)|. The smallest cardinality of an α-partialdominating set in G is called the α-partial domination number of G, denoted by ∂α(G). An α-partial dominating set S ⊆ V (G) is a total α-partial dominating set in G if every vertex in S isadjacent to some vertex in S. The total α-partial domination number of G, denoted by ∂T α(G), isthe smallest cardinality of a total α-partial dominating set in G. In this paper, we characterize thetotal partial dominating sets in the join, corona, lexicographic and Cartesian products of graphsand determine the exact values or sharp bounds of the corresponding total partial dominationnumber of these graphs.

AbstractLet k be a positive integer, and let G be a simple graph with vertex set V (G). A vertex of a graph G dominates itself and all vertices adjacent to it. A subset S ⊆ V (G) is a k-tuple dominating set of G if each vertex of V (G) is dominated by at least k vertices in S. The k-tuple domatic number of G is the largest number of sets in a partition of V (G) into k-tuple dominating sets.In this paper, we present a lower bound on the k-tuple domatic number, and we establish Nordhaus-Gaddum inequalities. Some of our results extends those for the classical domatic number.

Let [Formula: see text] be a simple graph. A hop dominating set [Formula: see text] is called a connected hop dominating set of [Formula: see text] if the induced subgraph [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is connected. The smallest cardinality of a connected hop dominating set of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is called the connected hop domination number of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we characterize the connected hop dominating sets in the join, corona and lexicographic product of graphs and determine the corresponding connected hop domination number of these graphs. The study of these concepts is motivated with a social network application.

A set [Formula: see text] of vertices of a graph [Formula: see text] is an outer-convex dominating set if every vertex not in [Formula: see text] is adjacent to some vertex in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a convex set. The outer-convex domination number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the minimum cardinality of an outer-convex dominating set of [Formula: see text]. An outer-convex dominating set of cardinality [Formula: see text] will be called a [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text].

Let G be a simple graph of order n. The domination polynomial of G is the polynomial D(G,x)= n?i=0 d(G,i)xi, where d(G,i) is the number of dominating sets of G of size i. Let n be any positive integer and Fn be the Friendship graph with 2n + 1 vertices and 3n edges, formed by the join of K1 with nK2. We study the domination polynomials of this family of graphs, and in particular examine the domination roots of the family, and find the limiting curve for the roots. We also show that for every n > 2, Fn is not D-unique, that is, there is another non-isomorphic graph with the same domination polynomial. Also we construct some families of graphs whose real domination roots are only -2 and 0. Finally, we conclude by discussing the domination polynomials of a related family of graphs, the n-book graphs Bn, formed by joining n copies of the cycle graph C4 with a common edge.

Let G = (V (G), E(G)) be a simple graph. A set S ⊆ V (G) is a perfect hop dominating set of G if for every v ∈ V (G) \ S, there is exactly one vertex u ∈ S such that dG(u, v) = 2. The smallest cardinality of a perfect hop dominating set of G is called the perfect hop domination number of G, denoted by γph(G). A perfect hop dominating set S ⊆ V (G) is called a total perfect hop dominating set of G if for every v ∈ V (G), there is exactly one vertex u ∈ S such that dG(u, v) = 2. The total perfect hop domination number of G, denoted by γtph(G), is the smallest cardinality of a total perfect hop dominating set of G. Any total perfect hop dominating set of G of cardinality γtph(G) is referred to as a γtph-set of G. In this paper, we characterize the total perfect hop dominating sets in the join, corona and lexicographic product of graphs and determine their corresponding total perfect hop domination number.
