Let G be a simple undirected graph. A planar graph known as a Halin graph(HG) is characterised by having three connected and pendent vertices of a tree that are connected by an outer cycle. A subset S of V is said to be a dominating set of the graph G if each vertex u that is part of V is dominated by at least one element v that is a part of S. The domination number of a graph is denoted by the γ(G), and it corresponds to the minimum size of a dominating set. A dominating set S is called a secure dominating set if for each v ∈ V＼S there exists u ∈ S such that v is adjacent to u and S₁ = (S＼{v}) ∪ {u} is a dominating set. The minimum cardinality of a secure dominating set of G is equal to the secure domination number γ_s(G). In this article we found the secure domination number of Halin graph(HG) with perfet k-ary tree and also we determined secure domination of rooted product of special trees.

Let ${\gamma}$(G) be the domination number of a graph G. It is shown that for any $k {\ge} 0$ there exists a Cartesian graph bundle $B{\Box}_{\varphi}F$ such that ${\gamma}(B{\Box}_{\varphi}F) ={\gamma}(B){\gamma}(F)-2k$. The domination numbers of Cartesian bundles of two cycles are determined exactly when the fibre graph is a triangle or a square. A statement similar to Vizing's conjecture on strong graph bundles is shown not to be true by proving the inequality ${\gamma}(B{\bigotimes}_{\varphi}F){\le}{\gamma}(B){\gamma}(F)$ for strong graph bundles. Examples of graphs Band F with ${\gamma}(B{\bigotimes}_{\varphi}F) < {\gamma}(B){\gamma}(F)$ are given.

A vertex v of a graph G = (V, E) is said to ve-dominate every edge incident to v, as well as every edge adjacent to these incident edges. A set S ⊆ V is called a double vertex-edge dominating set if every edge of E is ve-dominated by at least two vertices of S. The minimum cardinality of a double vertex-edge dominating set of G is the double vertex-edge domination number γ_dve(G). In this paper, we provide an upper bound on the double vertex-edge domination number of trees in terms of the order n, the number of leaves and support vertices, and we characterize the trees attaining the upper bound. Finally, we design a polynomial time algorithm for computing the value of γ_dve(T) for any trees. This gives an answer of an open problem posed in [4].

In this paper, we propose a theoretical model for characterization and upper bounds of [1,2]-domination set of network which has tree structure. In detail, we propose a theoretic model for upper bounds on [1,2]-domination set of a tree network which has some typical constrains. To that purpose, we introduce a graph theory to model and analyze the characteristics of tree structure networks. We assume a node subset D of a graph G=(V,E). We define that D is a [1,2]-dominant set if for any node v in set V which is not an element of a set D is adjacent to a node or two nodes of an element in a set D (that is, $1{\leq}{\mid}N({\upsilon}){\bigcap}D{\mid}{\leq}2$ for every node $v{\in}V-D$). The minimum cardinality of a [1,2]-dominating set of G, which is denoted by ${\gamma}_{[1,2]}(G)$, is called the [1,2]-domination number of G. In this paper, we show new upper bounds and characteristics about the [1,2]-domination number of tree.

A set D of vertices of a graph G = (V(G),E(G)) is called a dominating set if every vertex of V(G) - D is adjacent to at least one element of D. The domination number of G, denoted by ${\gamma}(G)$, is the size of its smallest dominating set. Haynes et al.[5] present a conjecture: For any graph G with ${\delta}(G){\geq}k$,$\gamma(G){\leq}\frac{k}{3k-1}n$. When $k\;{\neq}\;6$, the conjecture was proved in [7], [8], [10], [12] and [13] respectively. In this paper we prove that every graph G on n vertices with ${\delta}(G)\;{\geq}\;6$ has a dominating set of order at most $\frac{6}{17}n$. Thus the conjecture was completely proved.

For a simple, undirected graph G = (V, E), a perfect Roman dominating function (PRDF) f : V → {0, 1, 2} has the property that, every vertex u with f(u) = 0 is adjacent to exactly one vertex v for which f(v) = 2. The weight of a PRDF is the sum f(V) = ∑_v∈V f(v). The minimum weight of a PRDF is called the perfect Roman domination number, denoted by γ_R^P(G). Given a graph G and a positive integer k, the PRDF problem is to check whether G has a perfect Roman dominating function of weight at most k. In this paper, we first investigate the complexity of PRDF problem for some subclasses of bipartite graphs namely, star convex bipartite graphs and comb convex bipartite graphs. Then we show that PRDF problem is linear time solvable for bounded tree-width graphs, chain graphs and threshold graphs, a subclass of split graphs.

Let G = (V, E) be a simple graph with p vertices and q edges. A subset S of V (G) is called a strong (weak) efficient dominating set of G if for every $v{\in}V(G)$ we have ${\mid}N_s[v]{\cap}S{\mid}=1$ (resp. ${\mid}N_w[v]{\cap}S{\mid}=1$), where $N_s(v)=\{u{\in}V(G):uv{\in}E(G),\;deg(u){\geq}deg(v)\}$. The minimum cardinality of a strong (weak) efficient dominating set of G is called the strong (weak) efficient domination number of G and is denoted by ${\gamma}_{se}(G)$ (${\gamma}_{we}(G)$). A graph G is strong efficient if there exists a strong efficient dominating set of G. In this paper, some cycle and star related Nordhaus-Gaddum type relations on strong efficient dominating sets and the number of strong efficient dominating sets are studied.

A dominating set for a graph G is a set D of vertices of G such that every vertex of G not in D is adjacent to a vertex of D. Reed [11] considered the domination problem for graphs with minimum degree at least three. He showed that any graph G of minimum degree at least three contains a dominating set D of size at most $\frac{3}{8}$ |V (G)| by introducing a covering by vertex disjoint paths. In this paper, by using this technique, we show that every graph on n vertices of minimum degree at least four contains a dominating set D of size at most $\frac{4}{11}$ |V (G)|.
