The circulant graph $C_n(S)$ with connection set $S\subseteq \{1,2,\cdots,n\}$ is the graph with vertex set $V=\{1,\ldots, n\}$ and two vertices $x,y$ are adjacent if $|x-y|\in S$. In this paper, we will calculate the total dominator chromatic number of the circulant graph $C_n(\{a,b\})$ when $n\geq 6$, $gcd(a,n)=1$ and $ a^{-1}b\equiv 3 \pmod{n}$.
The total dominator total coloring of a graph is a total coloring of the graph such that each object of the graph is adjacent or incident to every object of some color class. The minimum namber of the color classes of a total dominator total coloring of a graph is called the total dominator total chromatic number of the graph. Here, we will find the total dominator chromatic numbers of cycles and paths.

Let $S$ be a set of vertices of a graph $G$. Let $cl(S)$ be the set of vertices built from $S$, by iteratively applying the following propagation rule: if a vertex and all but exactly one of its neighbors are in $cl(S)$, then the remaining neighbor is also in $cl(S)$. A set $S$ is called a zero forcing set of $G$ if $cl(S)=V(G)$. The zero forcing number $Z(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a zero forcing set. Let $cl(N[S])$ be the set of vertices built from the closed neighborhood $N[S]$ of $S$, by iteratively applying the previous propagation rule. A set $S$ is called a power dominating set of $G$ if $cl(N[S])=V(G)$. The power domination number $\gp(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a power dominating set. In this paper, we characterize the set of all graphs $G$ for which $Z(G)=2$. On the other hand, we present a variety of sufficient and/or necessary conditions for a graph $G$ to satisfy $1 \le \gp(G) \le 2$.
For any integer $k\geq 1$ and any graph $G=(V,E)$ with minimum degree at least $k-1$, we define a function $f:V\rightarrow \{0,1,2\}$ as a Roman $k$-tuple dominating function on $G$ if for any vertex $v$ with $f(v)=0$ there exist at least $k$ and for any vertex $v$ with $f(v)\neq 0$ at least $k-1$ vertices in its neighborhood with $f(w)=2$. The minimum weight of a Roman $k$-tuple dominating function $f$ on $G$ is called the Roman $k$-tuple domination number of the graph where the weight of $f$ is $f(V)=\sum_{v\in V}f(v)$. In this paper, we initiate to study the Roman $k$-tuple domination number of a graph, by giving some sharp bounds for the Roman $k$-tuple domination number of a garph, the Mycieleskian of a graph, and the corona graphs. Also finding the Roman $k$-tuple domination number of some known graphs is our other goal. Some of our results extend these one given by Cockayne and et al.} in 2004 for the Roman domination number.
For a graph $G=(V,E)$, we call a subset $ S\subseteq V \cup E$ a total mixed dominating set of $G$ if each element of $V \cup E$ is either adjacent or incident to an element of $S$, and the total mixed domination number $γ_{tm}(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a total mixed dominating set of $G$. In this paper, we initiate to study the total mixed domination number of a connected graph by giving some tight bounds in terms of some parameters such as order and total domination numbers of the graph and its line graph. Then we discuss on the relation between total mixed domination number of a graph and its diameter. Studing of this number in trees is our next work. Also we show that the total mixed domination number of a graph is equale to the total domination number of a graph which is obtained by the graph. Giving the total mixed domination numbers of some special graphs is our last work.
In this paper, we first present the relation between a transversal in a Latin square with some concepts in its Latin square graph, and give an equivalent condition for a Latin square has an orthogonal mate. The most famous open problem involving Combinatorics is to find maximum number of disjoint transversals in a Latin square. So finding some family of decomposable Latin squares into disjoint transversals is our next aim. In the next section, we give an equivalent statement of a conjecture which has been attributed to Brualdi, Stein and Ryser by the concept of quasi-transversal. Finally, we prove the truth of the Rodney's conjecture for a family of graphs.
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. For any integer $k\geq 1$, a subset of $V$ is called a $k$-tuple total dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V$ has at least $k$ neighbors in the set. The minimum cardinality of a minimal $k$-tuple total dominating set of $G$ is called the $k$-tuple total domination number of $G$. In this paper, we introduce the concept of upper $k$-tuple total domination number of $G$ as the maximum cardinality of a minimal $k$-tuple total dominating set of $G$, and study the problem of finding a minimal $k$-tuple total dominating set of maximum cardinality on several classes of graphs, as well as finding general bounds and characterizations. Also, we find some results on the upper $k$-tuple total domination number of the Cartesian and cross product graphs.
For $k \ge 1$ an integer, a set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G$ with minimum degree at least~$k-1$ is a $k$-tuple dominating set of $G$ if every vertex of $S$ is adjacent to at least $k-1$ vertices in $S$ and every vertex of $V(G) \setminus S$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in $S$; that is, $|N_G[v] \cap S| \ge k$ for every vertex $v$ of $G$ where $N_G[v]$ denotes the closed neighborhood of $v$ which consists of $v$ and all neighbors of $v$. A $k$-tuple restrained dominating set of $G$ is a $k$-tuple dominating set $S$ of $G$ with the additional property that every vertex outside $S$ has at least $k$ neighbors outside $S$. The minimum cardinality of a $k$-tuple restrained dominating set of $G$ is the $k$-tuple restrained domination number of $G$. When $k=1$, the $k$-tuple restrained domination number is the well-studied restrained domination number. In this paper, we determine the $k$-tuple restrained domination number of several classes of graphs. Tight upper bounds on the $k$-tuple restrained domination number of a general graph are established. We present basic properties of the $k$-tuple restrained domatic number of a graph which is the maximum number of the classes of a partition of $V(G)$ into $k$-tuple restrained dominating sets of $G$.
A total dominator coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper coloring of $G$ in which each vertex of the graph is adjacent to every vertex of some color class. The total dominator chromatic number of a graph is the minimum number of color classes in a total dominator coloring of it. Here, we study the total dominator coloring on central graphs by giving some tight bounds for the total dominator chromatic number of the central of a graph, join of two graphs and Nordhaus-Gaddum-like relations. Also we will calculate the total dominator chromatic number of the central of a path, a cycle, a wheel, a complete graph and a complete multipartite graph.
A $k$-tuple total dominating set ($k$TDS) of a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices in which every vertex in $G$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in $S$; the minimum size of a $k$TDS is denoted $γ_{\times k,t}(G)$. We give a Vizing-like inequality for Cartesian product graphs, namely $γ_{\times k,t}(G) γ_{\times k,t}(H) \leq 2k γ_{\times k,t}(G \Box H)$ provided $γ_{\times k,t}(G) \leq 2kρ(G)$, where $ρ$ is the packing number. We also give bounds on $γ_{\times k,t}(G \Box H)$ in terms of (open) packing numbers, and consider the extremal case of $γ_{\times k,t}(K_n \Box K_m)$, i.e., the rook's graph, giving a constructive proof of a general formula for $γ_{\times 2, t}(K_n \Box K_m)$.
Let $G$ be a graph with minimum degree at least 2. A set $D\subseteq V$ is a double total dominating set of $G$ if each vertex is adjacent to at least two vertices in $D$. The double total domination number $γ_{\times 2,t}(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a double total dominating set of $G$. In this paper, we will find double total domination number of Harary graphs.
Given a graph $G$, the total dominator coloring problem seeks a proper coloring of $G$ with the additional property that every vertex in the graph is adjacent to all vertices of a color class. We seek to minimize the number of color classes. We study this problem on several classes of graphs, as well as finding general bounds and characterizations. We also show the relation between total dominator chromatic number and chromatic number and total domination number.
A total dominator coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper coloring of $G$ in which each vertex of the graph is adjacent to every vertex of some color class. The total dominator chromatic number $χ_d^t(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum number of color classes in a total dominator coloring of it. In [Total dominator chromatic number of a graph, submitted] the author initialed to study this number in graphs and obtained some important results. Here, we continue it in Mycieleskian graphs. We show that the total dominator chromatic number of the Mycieleskian of a graph $G$ belongs to between $χ_d^t(G)+1$ and $χ_d^t(G)+2$, and then characterize the family of graphs the their total dominator chromatic numbers are each of them.
For every positive integer $k$, a set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a $k$-tuple dominating set of $G$ if every vertex of $V-S$ is adjacent to least $k$ vertices and every vertex of $S$ is adjacent to least $k-1$ vertices in $S$. The minimum cardinality of a $k$-tuple dominating set of $G$ is the $k$-tuple domination number of $G$. When $k=1$, a $k$-tuple domination number is the well-studied domination number. We define the $k$-tuple domatic number of $G$ as the largest number of sets in a partition of $V$ into $k$-tuple dominating sets. Recall that when $k=1$, a $k$-tuple domatic number is the well-studied domatic number. In this work, we derive basic properties and bounds for the $k$-tuple domatic number.
Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ and size $m$ and let $k\geq 1$ be an integer. A $k$-tuple total dominating set in $G$ is called a $k$-tuple total restrained dominating set of $G$ if each vertex $x\in V(G)-S$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices of $V(G)-S$. The minimum number of vertices of a such sets in $G$ are the $k$-tuple total restrained domination number $γ_{\times k,t}^{r}(G)$ of $G$. The maximum number of classes of a partition of $V(G)$ such that its all classes are $k$-tuple total restrained dominating sets in $G$, is called the $k$-tuple total restrained domatic number of $G$. In this manuscript, we first find $γ_{\times k,t}^{r}(G)$, when $G$ is complete graph, cycle, bipartite graph and the complement of path or cycle. Also we will find bounds for this number when $G$ is a complete multipartite graph. Then we will know the structure of graphs $G$ which $γ_{\times k,t}^{r}(G)=m$, for some $m\geq k+1$ and give upper and lower bounds for $γ_{\times k,t}^{r}(G)$, when $G$ is an arbitrary graph. Next, we mainly present basic properties of the $k$-tuple total restrained domatic number of a graph and give bounds for it. Finally we give bounds for the $k$-tuple total restrained domination number of the complementary prism $G\bar{G}$ in terms on the similar number of $G$ and $\bar{G}$ when $G$ is a regular graph or an arbitrary graph. And then we calculate it when $G$ is cycle or path.
For a graph $G=(V,E)$, a function $f:V\rightarrow \{0,1,2\}$ is called Roman dominating function (RDF) if for any vertex $v$ with $f(v)=0$, there is at least one vertex $w$ in its neighborhood with $f(w)=2$. The weight of an RDF $f$ of $G$ is the value $f(V)=\sum_{v\in V}f(v)$. The minimum weight of an RDF of $G$ is its Roman domination number and denoted by $γ_ R(G)$. In this paper, we first show that $γ_{R}(G)+1\leq γ_{R}(μ(G))\leq γ_{R}(G)+2$, where $μ(G)$ is the Mycielekian graph of $G$, and then characterize the graphs achieving equality in these bounds. Then for any positive integer $m$, we compute the Roman domination number of the $m$-Mycieleskian $μ_{m}(G)$ of a special Roman graph $G$ in terms on $γ_R(G)$. Finally we present several graphs to illustrate the discussed graphs.
The inflated graph $G_{I}$ of a graph $G$ with $n(G)$ vertices is obtained from $G$ by replacing every vertex of degree $d$ of $G$ by a clique, which is isomorph to the complete graph $K_{d}$, and each edge $(x_{i},x_{j})$ of $G$ is replaced by an edge $(u,v)$ in such a way that $u\in X_{i}$, $v\in X_{j}$, and two different edges of $G$ are replaced by non-adjacent edges of $G_{I}$. For integer $k\geq 1$, the $k$-tuple total domination number $γ_{\times k,t}(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a $k$-tuple total dominating set of $G$, which is a set of vertices in $G$ such that every vertex of $G$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in it. For existing this number, must the minimum degree of $G$ is at least $k$. Here, we study the $k$-tuple total domination number in inflated graphs when $k\geq 2$. First we prove that $n(G)k\leq γ_{\times k,t}(G_{I})\leq n(G)(k+1)-1$, and then we characterize graphs $G$ that the $k$-tuple total domination number number of $G_I$ is $n(G)k$ or $n(G)k+1$. Then we find bounds for this number in the inflated graph $G_I$, when $G$ has a cut-edge $e$ or cut-vertex $v$, in terms on the $k$-tuple total domination number of the inflated graphs of the components of $G-e$ or $v$-components of $G-v$, respectively. Finally, we calculate this number in the inflated graphs that have obtained by some of the known graphs.
