Let G be a simple graph of order n and minimum degree $. The independent domination number i(G) is defined to be the minimum cardinality among all maximal independent sets of vertices of G. In this paper, we show that i(G) n+2$&2 -n$. Thus a conjecture of Favaron is settled in the affirmative.

The kdomination number of a graph G, y k ( G ) , is the least cardinality of a set U of verticies such that any other vertex is adjacent to at least k vertices of U. We prove that if each vertex has degree at least k. then YAG) 5 kp/(k + 1).
New upper bounds for the ramsey numbers r ( k , I ) are obtained. In particular it is shown there is a constant A such that The ramsey number r(k, l ) is the smallest integer n, such that any coloring with red and blue of the edges of the complete graph K , of order n yields either a red K , subgra
A set S of vertices in a graph G is a paired-dominating set of G if every vertex of G is adjacent to some vertex in S and the subgraph induced by S contains a perfect matching. The minimum cardinality of a paired-dominating set of G is the paireddomination number of G, denoted by ฮณ pr (G). In this w
