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.
For a graph G, the definitions of doknation number, denoted y(G), and independent domination number, denoted i(G), are given, and the following results are obtained: oorollrrg 1. For any graph G, y(L(G)) = i@(G)), where Z,(G) is the line graph of G. (This $xh!s t.lic rtsult ~(L(T))~i(L(T)), h w ere
A graph G is k-choosable if it admits a vertex-coloring whenever the colors allowed at each vertex are restricted to a list of length k. If Ο denotes the usual chromatic number of G, we are interested in which kind of G is Ο-choosable. This question contains a famous conjecture, which states that ev
Let G be a simple graph of order n(G). A vertex set D of G is dominating if every vertex not in D is adjacent to some vertex in D, and D is a covering if every edge of G has at least one end in D. The domination number 7(G) is the minimum order of a dominating set, and the covering number/~(G) is th
