Let $\gamma (n,\delta)$ denote the largest possible domination number for a graph of order $n$ and minimum degree $\delta$. This paper is concerned with the behavior of the right side of the sequence $$\gamma (n,0) \ge \gamma (n,1) \ge \cdots \ge \gamma (n,n-1) = 1. $$ We set $ \delta _k(n) = \max \{ \delta \, \vert \, \gamma (n,\delta) \ge k \}$, $k \ge 1.$ Our main result is that for any fixed $k \ge 2$ there is a constant $c_k$ such that for sufficiently large $n$, $$ n-c_kn^{(k-1)/k} \le \delta _{k+1}(n) \le n - n^{(k-1)/k}. $$ The lower bound is obtained by use of circulant graphs. We also show that for $n$ sufficiently large relative to $k$, $\gamma (n,\delta _k(n)) = k$. The case $k=3$ is examined in further detail. The existence of circulant graphs with domination number greater than 2 is related to a kind of difference set in ${\bf Z}_n$.

Let $\gamma(n,\delta)$ denote the maximum possible domination number of a graph with $n$ vertices and minimum degree $\delta$. Using known results we determine $\gamma(n,\delta)$ for $\delta = 0, 1, 2, 3$, $n \ge \delta + 1$ and for all $n$, $\delta$ where $\delta = n-k$ and $n$ is sufficiently large relative to $k$. We also obtain $\gamma(n,\delta)$ for all remaining values of $(n,\delta)$ when $n \le 14$ and all but 6 values of $(n,\delta)$ when $n = 15$ or 16.

A subset D of the vertex set of a graph G, is a dominating set if every vertex in V−D is adjacent to at least one vertex in D. The domination number γ(G) is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G. A subset of V−D, which is also a dominating set of G is called an inverse dominating set of G with respect to D. The inverse domination number γ′(G) is the minimum cardinality of the inverse dominating sets. Domke et al. (2004) characterized connected graphs G with γ(G)+γ′(G)=n, where n is the number of vertices in G. It is the purpose of this paper to give a complete characterization of graphs G with minimum degree at least two and γ(G)+γ′(G)=n−1.

We obtain new results on 3-rainbow domination numbers of generalized Petersen graphs P(6k,k). In some cases, for some infinite families, exact values are established; in all other cases, the lower and upper bounds with small gaps are given. We also define singleton rainbow domination, where the sets assigned have a cardinality of, at most, one, and provide analogous results for this special case of rainbow domination.

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph G is a function f : V (G) ? {0,1,2} satisfying the condition that every vertex u with f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v of G for which f(v) = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is the sum f(V) = ?v?V f(v), and the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function f is the Roman domination number ?R(G). An RDF f is called an independent Roman dominating function (IRDF) if the set of vertices assigned positive values under f is independent. The independent Roman domination number iR(G) is the minimum weight of an IRDF on G. We show that for every nontrivial connected graph G with maximum degree ?, ?R(G)? ?+1/??(G) and iR(G) ? i(G) + ?(G)/?, where ?(G) and i(G) are, respectively, the domination and independent domination numbers of G. Moreover, we characterize the connected graphs attaining each lower bound. We give an additional lower bound for ?R(G) and compare our two new bounds on ?R(G) with some known lower bounds.

A (total) double dominating set in a graph G is a subset S ⊆ V(G) such that each vertex in V(G) is (total) dominated by at least 2 vertices in S. The (total) double domination number of G is the minimum size of a (total) double dominating set of G. We determine the total double domination numbers and give upper bounds for double domination numbers of generalized Petersen graphs. By applying an integer programming model for double domination numbers of a graph, we have determined some exact values of double domination numbers of these generalized Petersen graphs with small parameters. The result shows that the given upper bounds match these exact values.

Let G = (V, E) be a graph. The function f : V(G) → {−1, 1} is a signed dominating function if for every vertex v ∈ V(G), ∑x∈NG[v] f(x)≥1. The value of ω(f) = ∑x∈V(G) f(x) is called the weight of f. The signed domination number of G is the minimum weight of a signed dominating function of G. In this paper, we initiate the study of the signed domination numbers of Mycielski graphs and find some upper bounds for this parameter. We also calculate the signed domination number of the Mycielski graph when the underlying graph is a star, a wheel, a fan, a Dutch windmill, a cycle, a path or a complete bipartite graph.

Let G be a graph without isolated vertices. A function f : V ( G ) → { 0 , 1 , 2 } is a total Roman dominating function on G if every vertex v ∈ V ( G ) for which f ( v ) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex u ∈ V ( G ) such that f ( u ) = 2 , and if the subgraph induced by the set { v ∈ V ( G ) : f ( v ) ≥ 1 } has no isolated vertices. The total Roman domination number of G, denoted γ t R ( G ) , is the minimum weight ω ( f ) = ∑ v ∈ V ( G ) f ( v ) among all total Roman dominating functions f on G. In this article we obtain new tight lower and upper bounds for γ t R ( G ) which improve the well-known bounds 2 γ ( G ) ≤ γ t R ( G ) ≤ 3 γ ( G ) , where γ ( G ) represents the classical domination number. In addition, we characterize the graphs that achieve equality in the previous lower bound and we give necessary conditions for the graphs which satisfy the equality in the upper bound above.

Given a graph G and a set of k colors, assign an arbitrary subset of these colors to each vertex of G. If each vertex to which the empty set is assigned has all k colors in its neighborhood, then the assignment is called a k-rainbow dominating function (kRDF) of G. The minimum sum of numbers of assigned colors over all vertices of G is called the k-rainbow domination number of graph G, denoted by γ r k ( G ) . In this paper, we focus on the study of the k-rainbow domination number of the Cartesian product of cycles, C n □ C m . For k ≥ 8 , based on the results of J. Amjadi et al. (2017), γ r k ( C n □ C m ) = m n . For ( 4 ≤ k ≤ 7 ) , we give a proof for the new lower bound of γ r 4 ( C n □ C 3 ) . We construct some novel and recursive kRDFs which are good enough and upon these functions we get sharp upper bounds of γ r k ( C n □ C m ) . Therefore, we obtain the following results: (1) γ r 4 ( C n □ C 3 ) = 2 n ; (2) γ r k ( C n □ C m ) = k m n 8 for n ≡ 0 ( mod 4 ) , m ≡ 0 ( mod 4 ) ( 4 ≤ k ≤ 7 ) ; (3) for n ≢ 0 ( mod 4 ) or m ≢ 0 ( mod 4 ) , m n 2 ≤ γ r 4 ( C n □ C m ) ≤ m n 2 + m + n 2 − 1 and k m n 8 ≤ γ r k ( C n □ C m ) ≤ k m n + n 8 + m for 5 ≤ k ≤ 7 . We also discuss Vizing’s conjecture on the k-rainbow domination number of C n □ C m .
