In this paper we focus on the issue related to finding the resolving connected dominating sets (RCDSs) of a graph, denoted by G. The connected dominating set (CDS) is a connected subset of vertices of G selected to guarantee that all vertices in the graph are connected to vertices in the CDS. The connected dominating set with minimum cardinality, or minimum CDS (MCDS), is an adequate virtual backbone for information interchange in a network. When distinct vertices of G have also distinct representations with respect to a subset of vertices in the MCDS, it is said that the MCDS includes a resolving set (RS) of G. With this work, we explore different strategies to find the RCDS with minimum cardinality in complex networks where the vertices have different importances.

Weakly Connected Dominating Set

In this paper, we propose two new self-stabilizing algorithms, MWCDS-C and MWCDS-D, for minimal weakly connected dominating sets in an arbitrary connected graph. Algorithm MWCDS-C stabilizes in O(n4) steps using an unfair central daemon and space requirement at each node is O(log n) bits at each node for an arbitrary connected graph with n nodes; it uses a designated node while other nodes are identical and anonymous. Algorithm MWCDS-D stabilizes using an unfair distributed daemon with identical time and space complexities, but it assumes unique node IDs. In the literature, the best reported stabilization time for a minimal weakly connected dominating set algorithm is O(nmA) under a distributed daemon [1], where m is the number of edges and A is the number of moves to construct a breadth-first tree.

Dominating Set Problem

As a variant of minimum connected dominating set problem, two disjoint connected dominating sets (DCDS) problem is to ask whether there are two DCDS [Formula: see text] in a connected graph [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], and if not, how to add an edge subset with minimum cardinality such that the new graph has a pair of DCDS. The two DCDS problem is so hard that it is NP-hard on trees. In this paper, if the vertex set [Formula: see text] of a connected graph [Formula: see text] can be partitioned into two DCDS of [Formula: see text], then it is called a DCDS graph. First, a necessary but not sufficient condition is proposed for cubic (3-regular) graph to be a DCDS graph. To be exact, if a cubic graph is a DCDS graph, there are at most four disjoint triangles in it. Next, if a connected graph [Formula: see text] is a DCDS graph, a simple but nontrivial upper bound [Formula: see text] of the girth [Formula: see text] is presented.

AbstractFor a given connected graph G = (V, E), a set $$D \subseteq V(G)$$ is a doubly connected dominating set if it is dominating and both 〈D〉 and 〈V (G)-D〉 are connected. The cardinality of the minimum doubly connected dominating set in G is the doubly connected domination number. We investigate several properties of doubly connected dominating sets and give some bounds on the doubly connected domination number.

Simple Connected Graph

Let G be a simple connected graph. A connected dominating set S ⊂ V(G) is called a doubly connected dominating set of G if the subgraph 〈V(G)\S〉 induced by V(G)\S is connected. We show that given any three positive integers a, b, and c with 4 ≤ a ≤ b ≤ c, where b ≤ 2a, there exists a connected graph G such that a = γr(G), b = γtr(G), and c = γcc(G), where γr, γtr, and γcc are, respectively, the restrained domination, total restrained domination, and doubly connected domination parameters. Also, we characterize the doubly connected dominating sets in the join of any graphs and Cartesian product of some graphs. The corresponding doubly connected domination numbers of these graphs are also determined.

Simple Heuristic

We present a simple heuristic for finding a small connected dominating set of cubic graphs. The average-case performance of this heuristic, which is a randomised greedy algorithm, is analysed on random $n$-vertex cubic graphs using differential equations. In this way, we prove that the expected size of the connected dominating set returned by the algorithm is asymptotically almost surely less than $0.5854n$.

AbstractLet G be a graph of minimum degree at least two. A set $$D\subseteq V(G)$$ D ⊆ V ( G ) is said to be a double total dominating set of G if $$|N(v)\cap D|\ge 2$$ | N ( v ) ∩ D | ≥ 2 for every vertex $$v\in V(G)$$ v ∈ V ( G ) . The minimum cardinality among all double total dominating sets of G is the double total domination number of G. In this article, we continue with the study of this parameter. In particular, we provide new bounds on the double total domination number in terms of other domination parameters. Some of our results are tight bounds that improve some well-known results.

Distance Domination

A set $D\subseteq V$ of vertices is said to be a (connected) distance $k$-dominating set of $G$ if the distance between each vertex $u\in V-D$ and $D$ is at most $k$ (and $D$ induces a connected graph in $G$). The minimum cardinality of a (connected) distance $k$-dominating set in $G$ is the (connected) distance $k$-domination number of $G$, denoted by $\gamma_k(G)$ ($\gamma_k^c(G)$, respectively). The set $D$ is defined to be a total $k$-dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V$ is within distance $k$ from some vertex of $D$ other than itself. The minimum cardinality among all total $k$-dominating sets of $G$ is called the total $k$-domination number of $G$ and is denoted by $\gamma_k^t(G)$. For $x\in X\subseteq V$, if $N^k[x]-N^k[X-x]\neq\emptyset$, the vertex $x$ is said to be $k$-irredundant in $X$. A set $X$ containing only $k$-irredundant vertices is called $k$-irredundant. The $k$-irredundance number of $G$, denoted by $ir_k(G)$, is the minimum cardinality taken over all maximal $k$-irredundant sets of vertices of $G$. In this paper we establish lower bounds for the distance $k$-irredundance number of graphs and trees. More precisely, we prove that ${5k+1\over 2}ir_k(G)\geq \gamma_k^c(G)+2k$ for each connected graph $G$ and $(2k+1)ir_k(T)\geq\gamma_k^c(T)+2k\geq |V|+2k-kn_1(T)$ for each tree $T=(V,E)$ with $n_1(T)$ leaves. A class of examples shows that the latter bound is sharp. The second inequality generalizes a result of Meierling and Volkmann and Cyman, Lemańska and Raczek regarding $\gamma_k$ and the first generalizes a result of Favaron and Kratsch regarding $ir_1$. Furthermore, we shall show that $\gamma_k^c(G)\leq{3k+1\over2}\gamma_k^t(G)-2k$ for each connected graph $G$, thereby generalizing a result of Favaron and Kratsch regarding $k=1$.

Domination In Graphs

In this paper, a new model of domination in graphs called the pitchfork domination is introduced. Let [Formula: see text] be a finite, simple and undirected graph without isolated vertices, a subset [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is a pitchfork dominating set if every vertex [Formula: see text] dominates at least [Formula: see text] and at most [Formula: see text] vertices of [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are non-negative integers. The domination number of [Formula: see text], denotes [Formula: see text] is a minimum cardinality over all pitchfork dominating sets in [Formula: see text]. In this work, pitchfork domination when [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is studied. Some bounds on [Formula: see text] related to the order, size, minimum degree, maximum degree of a graph and some properties are given. Pitchfork domination is determined for some known and new modified graphs. Finally, a question has been answered and discussed that; does every finite, simple and undirected graph [Formula: see text] without isolated vertices have a pitchfork domination or not?

Network Flooding

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play a significant role in a large number of applications, e.g., healthcare and industry. A WSN typically consists of a large number of sensor nodes which rely on limited power sources in many applications. Therefore, improving the energy efficiency of WSNs becomes a crucial topic in the research community. As a fundamental service in WSNs, network flooding offers the advantages that information can be distributed fast and reliably throughout an entire network. However, network flooding suffers from low energy efficiency due to the large number of redundant transmissions in the network. In this work, we exploit connected dominating sets (CDS) to enhance the energy efficiency of network flooding by reducing the number of transmissions. For this purpose, we propose a connected dominating set-based flooding protocol (CONE). CONE inhibits nodes that are not in the CDS from rebroadcasting packets during the flooding process. Furthermore, we evaluate the performance of CONE in both simulations and a real-world testbed, and then we compare CONE to a baseline protocol. Experimental results show that CONE improves the end-to-end reliability and reduces the duty cycle of network flooding in the simulations. Additionally, CONE reduces the average energy consumption in the FlockLab testbed by 15%.
