On Efficiently Total Dominatable Digraphs

On Efficiently Total Dominatable Digraphs An efficient total dominating set is an important property in the design of network interconnection. An efficient total dominating set S of a digraph D is a vertex subset such that every vertex of D has exactly one predecessor. If D has an efficient total dominating set, then D is called an efficiently total dominatable digraph. Let $$\textit{EDT}$$ EDT denote the decision problem associated to the existence of efficient total dominating sets. It is known that $$\textit{ETD}$$ ETD is NP-complete on the orientations of chordal graphs. In this paper, we give a characterization on block graphs having an efficiently total dominatable orientation. This characterization implies polynomial solvability of the $$\textit{ETD}$$ ETD on the orientations of block graphs. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Bulletin of the Malaysian Mathematical Sciences Society Springer Journals

Abstract

An efficient total dominating set is an important property in the design of network interconnection. An efficient total dominating set S of a digraph D is a vertex subset such that every vertex of D has exactly one predecessor. If D has an efficient total dominating set, then D is called an efficiently total dominatable digraph. Let $$\textit{EDT}$$ EDT denote the decision problem associated to the existence of efficient total dominating sets. It is known that $$\textit{ETD}$$ ETD is NP-complete on the orientations of chordal graphs. In this paper, we give a characterization on block graphs having an efficiently total dominatable orientation. This characterization implies polynomial solvability of the $$\textit{ETD}$$ ETD on the orientations of block graphs.
