Let [Formula: see text] be a connected graph and [Formula: see text] be a minimum geodetic global dominating set of [Formula: see text]. A subset [Formula: see text] is called a forcing subset for [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] is the unique minimum geodetic global dominating set containing [Formula: see text]. A forcing subset for [Formula: see text] of minimum cardinality is a minimum forcing subset of [Formula: see text]. The forcing geodetic global domination number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the cardinality of a minimum forcing subset of S. The forcing geodetic global domination number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is [Formula: see text], where the minimum is taken over all minimum geodetic global dominating sets [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text]. The forcing geodetic global domination number of some standard graphs are determined. Some of its general properties are studied. It is shown that for every pair of positive integers a and b with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], there exists a connected graph [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The geodetic global domination number of join of graphs is also studied. Connected graphs of order [Formula: see text] with geodetic global domination number 2 are characterized. It is proved that, for a connected graph [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text]. Then [Formula: see text] and characterized connected graphs for which the lower and the upper bounds are sharp.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
