A note on efficient k-limited broadcast domination in graphs

An efficient $k$-limited dominating broadcast, or $k$-ELDB, is a $k$-limited broadcast in which every vertex is dominated exactly once. This notion brings together efficient domination and limited broadcast domination in a common framework. For a graph $G$, we write $mcr(G)$ for the smallest integer $k$ for which $G$ admits a $k$-ELDB. For an admissible value $k\ge mcr(G)$, we denote by $\gamma_{ebk}(G)$ the minimum cost of a $k$-ELDB on $G$, and is called the $k$-efficient broadcast domination number of $G$. In this paper, we study these parameters from an algorithmic perspective with complexity analysis. We develop a dynamic programming algorithm for trees which, for fixed $k$, computes $\gamma_{ebk}(T)$ and thereby obtains a polynomial-time procedure for determining $mcr(T) $. In contrast, we prove that, for every fixed integer $k\ge 1$, deciding whether a graph admits a $k$-ELDB is NP-complete for arbitrary graphs. These results place efficient limited broadcast domination in a natural complexity framework, with trees forming a tractable class and arbitrary graphs remaining computationally hard.

Efficient $k$-limited Dominating Broadcasts in Product Graphs

In a graph $ G $, a subset of vertices $ S $ is called an efficient dominating set (EDS) if every vertex in the graph is uniquely dominated by exactly one vertex in $ S $. A graph is said to be efficiently dominatable if it contains an EDS. Additionally, a function $ f: V(G) \rightarrow \{0, 1, 2, \dots, k\} $ is termed a $ k $-limited dominating broadcast if, for every vertex $ u \in V(G) $, there exists a vertex $ v $, with $ f(v) \geq 1$ such that $ d(u, v) \leq f(v) $. A vertex $u$ is said to be dominated by a vertex $v$. In this work, we unify these two concepts to explore the notion of efficient $k$-limited broadcast domination in graphs. A $ k $-limited dominating broadcast $f$ is called an efficient $k$-limited dominating broadcast ($k$-$ELDB$) if each vertex in the graph is dominated exactly once. The minimum value of $k$ for which the given graph $G$ has $k$-$ELDB$ is defined as $mcr(G)$. We prove determining $mcr(G)$ is NP-Complete for general graphs and explore the $mcr(G)$ values and other related parameters on standard graphs and their products.

Efficient Domination in Lattice graphs

Given a graph $G$, a subset $S$ of vertices of $G$ is an efficient dominating set ($EDS$) if $|N[v] \cap S|=1,$ for all $v\in V(G)$. A graph $G$ is efficiently dominatable if it possesses an $EDS$. The efficient domination number of G is denoted by F(G) and is defined to be $\max \left\{\sum_{v \in S}(1 + \operatorname{deg} v):\right.$ $\left.S \subseteq V(G)\right.$ and $\left.|N[x] \cap S| \leq 1, \forall~ x \in V(G)\right\}$. In general, not every graph is efficiently dominatable. Further, the class of efficiently dominatable graphs has not been completely characterized and the problem of determining whether or not a graph is efficiently dominatable is NP-Complete. Hence, interest is shown to study the efficient domination property for graphs under restricted conditions or special classes of graphs. In this paper, we study the notion of efficient domination in some Lattice graphs, namely, rectangular grid graphs ($P_m \Box P_n$), triangular grid graphs, and hexagonal grid graphs.
