THE NON-ISOLATED DOMINATION NUMBER OF GRAPHS

A subset S of the vertex set V (G) of a graph G is said to be dominating set if every vertex not in S is adjacent to at least one vertex in S. In this research, we introduce a new domination parameter, called the non-isolated domination number of a graph. A subset S of V of a nontrivial graph G i...

Description
Summary:A subset S of the vertex set V (G) of a graph G is said to be dominating set if every vertex not in S is adjacent to at least one vertex in S. In this research, we introduce a new domination parameter, called the non-isolated domination number of a graph. A subset S of V of a nontrivial graph G is said to be non- isolated dominating set, if S is a dominating set and there are no zero degree vertex in subgraph induced by S. The minimum cardinality taken over all non- isolated dominating sets is called the non-isolated domination number and is denoted by I . In this research, we obtained the best lower and upper bounds of the non-isolated domination number of a connected graph. We also determine the characterization of connected graphs that have the non-isolated domination number 2. Furthermore, we determine the non-isolated domination number of complete, complete n-partite, wheel, fan, star, cycle, and path graphs. We also determine the relationship between the non- isolated domination number and diameter of tree graphs and we also give the characterization of tree graphs that have the non-isolated domination number 2 .
