Determination of the Optimally Efficient Sets in Special Classes of Graphs

Mihai TALMACIU
Abstract

A dominating set is said to be an efficient dominating set if, for every vertex v ∈ V, |N[v] ∩ S| = 1 [1]. A set S is called open irredundant if, for every vertex u ∈ S, there exists a vertex v ∈ V − S for which N(v)∩ S = {u}, in which case we say that u efficiently dominates v. There exists a polynomial time algorithm for finding an optimally efficient set in an arbitrary graph. We determine directly the optimally efficient sets in confidentially connected graphs and unbreakable graphs. Also, we determine directly the open irredundant set, closed neighborhood packing set, the influence of a set in confidentially connected graphs and unbreakable graphs.

Keywords

Confidentially connected graphs, unbreakable graphs, open irredundant set, optimally efficient set.
