In a graph G Γ (V, E) if we think of each vertex s as the possible location for a guard capable of protecting each vertex in its closed neighborhood N[s], then ''domination'' requires every vertex to be protected. Thus, S Κ V (G) is a dominating set if Κ s β S N[s] Γ V (G). For total domination, eac

Abstract
A set D of vertices in a graph is said to be a dominating set if every vertex not in D is adjacent to some vertex in D. The domination number Ξ²(G) of a graph G is the size of a smallest dominating set. G is called domination balanced if its vertex set can be partitioned into Ξ²(G) subsets so that each subset is a smallest dominating set of the complement G of G. The purpose of this paper is to characterize these graphs.

## Abstract Let __G__ = (__V, E__) be a connected graph. A set __D__ β __V__ is a __setβdominating set__ (sdβset) if for every set __T__ β __V__ β __D__, there exists a nonempty set __S__ β __D__ such that the subgraph γ__S__ βͺ __T__γ induced by __S__ βͺ __T__ is connected. The setβdomination number
We show that for each k L 4 there exists a connected k-domination critical graph with independent domination number exceeding k, thus disproving a conjecture of Sumner and Blitch ( J Cornbinatorial Theory B 34 (19831, 65-76) in all cases except k = 3.
