Some results on the super domination number of a graph (2204.10666v1)

Abstract: Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A dominating set of $G$ is a subset $S\subseteq V$ such that every vertex not in $S$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $S$. The cardinality of a smallest dominating set of $G$, denoted by $\gamma(G)$, is the domination number of $G$. A dominating set $S$ is called a super dominating set of $G$, if for every vertex $u\in \overline{S}=V-S$, there exists $v\in S$ such that $N(v)\cap \overline{S}={u}$. The cardinality of a smallest super dominating set of $G$, denoted by $\gamma_{sp}(G)$, is the super domination number of $G$. In this paper, we study super domination number of some graph classes and present sharp bounds for some graph operations.
