Let G = (V, E) be a graph with chromatic number ${\chi}(G)$. dominating set D of G is called a chromatic transversal dominating set (ctd-set) if D intersects every color class of every ${\chi}$-partition of G. The minimum cardinality of a ctd-set of G is called the chromatic transversal domination number of G and is denoted by ${\gamma}_{ct}$(G). In this paper we characterize the class of trees, unicyclic graphs and cubic graphs for which the chromatic transversal domination number is equal to the connected domination number.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of split and non-split tree (D, C)- set of a connected graph G and its associated color variable, namely split tree (D, C) number and non-split tree (D, C) number of G. A subset S ⊆ V of vertices in G is said to be a split tree (D, C) set of G if S is a tree (D, C) set and ⟨V - S⟩ is disconnected. The minimum size of the split tree (D, C) set of G is the split tree (D, C) number of G, γ_χST (G) = min{|S| : S is a split tree (D, C) set}. A subset S ⊆ V of vertices of G is said to be a non-split tree (D, C) set of G if S is a tree (D, C) set and ⟨V - S⟩ is connected and non-split tree (D, C) number of G is γ_χST (G) = min{|S| : S is a non-split tree (D, C) set of G}. The split and non-split tree (D, C) number of some standard graphs and its compliments are identified.

In this paper, we introduce an iP₂ extension of a star graph S_n for n ≥ 2 and 1 ≤ i ≤ n - 1. Certain general properties satisfied by order, size, domination (or Roman) numbers γ (or γ_R) of an iP₂ extended star graph are studied. Finally, we study how the parameters such as chromatic number and harmonious chromatic number are affected when an iP₂ extension process acts on the star graphs.
