Abstract:Abstract. In a graph G, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors. A set S of vertices in a graph G is a double dominating set if S dominates every vertex of G at least twice. The double domination number γ ×2 (G) is the minimum cardinality of a double dominating set in G. The annihilation number a(G) is the largest integer k such that the sum of the first k terms of the non-decreasing degree sequence of G is at most the number of edges in G. In this paper, we show that for any tree T of order n ≥ 2, differe… Show more

“…Let D =(1,2,3,4,4). For Θ = 3, we get h (D, Θ) = 2 and A = (1, 2) is a maximum subsequence of D. For Θ = 6, we get h (D, Θ) = 3 and A 1 = (1, 2, 3) is a maximum subsequence of D, while A 2 = (2, 4) is a maximal non-maximum subsequence of D.…”
Let α(G) denote the cardinality of a maximum independent set, while µ(G) be the size of a maximum matching in the grapha∈A deg(a) ≤ |E| is an annihilation set; if, in addition, deg (v) + a∈A deg(a) > |E|, for every vertex v ∈ V (G) − A, then A is a maximal annihilation set in G.In [23] it was conjectured that the following assertions are equivalent:(ii) G is a König-Egerváry graph and every maximum independent set is a maximal annihilating set.In this paper, we prove that the implication "(i) =⇒ (ii)" is correct, while for the opposite direction we provide a series of generic counterexamples.
