Three dominating sets of the same graph (in red). The domination number of this graph is 2: (b) and (c) show that there is a dominating set with 2 vertices, and there is no dominating set with only 1 vertex. In graph theory, a dominating set for a graph G is a subset D of its vertices, such that any vertex of G is in D, or has a neighbor in D.
Dominating set, a.k.a. domination number [3]: GT2 NP-complete special cases include the edge dominating set problem, i.e., the dominating set problem in line graphs. NP-complete variants include the connected dominating set problem and the maximum leaf spanning tree problem. [3]: ND2 Feedback vertex set [2] [3]: GT7
An edge dominating set for G is a dominating set for its line graph L(G) and vice versa. Any maximal matching is always an edge dominating set. Figures (b) and (d) are examples of maximal matchings. Furthermore, the size of a minimum edge dominating set equals the size of a minimum maximal matching. A minimum maximal matching is a minimum edge ...
A MIS is also a dominating set in the graph, and every dominating set that is independent must be maximal independent, so MISs are also called independent dominating sets. The top two P 3 graphs are maximal independent sets while the bottom two are independent sets, but not maximal. The maximum independent set is represented by the top left.
A domatic partition. In graph theory, a domatic partition of a graph = (,) is a partition of into disjoint sets , ,..., such that each V i is a dominating set for G.The figure on the right shows a domatic partition of a graph; here the dominating set consists of the yellow vertices, consists of the green vertices, and consists of the blue vertices.
A minimum connected dominating set of a graph G is a connected dominating set with the smallest possible cardinality among all connected dominating sets of G. The connected domination number of G is the number of vertices in the minimum connected dominating set. [1] Any spanning tree T of a graph G has at least two leaves, vertices that have ...
The eternal dominating set problem, also known as the eternal domination problem and the eternal security problem, can also be interpreted as a combinatorial game played between two players that alternate turns: a defender, who chooses the initial dominating set D and the guard to send to each attack that occurs at a vertex without a guard; and ...
In graph theory, a universal vertex is a vertex of an undirected graph that is adjacent to all other vertices of the graph. It may also be called a dominating vertex, as it forms a one-element dominating set in the graph. A graph that contains a universal vertex may be called a cone, and its universal vertex may be called the apex of the cone. [1]
