Bounds on Co-Independent Liar’s Domination in Graphs
A set S ⊆ V of a graph G = V , E is called a co-independent liar’s dominating set of G if (i) for all v ∈ V , N G v ∩ S ≥ 2 , (ii) for every pair u , v ∈ V of distinct vertices, N G u ∪ N G v ∩ S ≥ 3 , and (iii) the induced subgraph of G on V − S has no edge. The minimum cardinality of vertices in such a set is called the co-independent liar’s domination number of G , and it is denoted by γ coi L R G . In this paper, we introduce the concept of co-independent liar’s domination number of the middle graph of some standard graphs such as path and cycle graphs, and we propose some bounds on this new parameter.
