For a given graph G = (V, E), a set $D{\subseteq}V(G)$ is said to be an outer-connected vertex edge dominating set if D is a vertex edge dominating set and the graph $G{\backslash}D$ is connected. The outer-connected vertex edge domination number of a graph G, denoted by ${\gamma}^{oc}_{ve}(G)$, is the cardinality of a minimum outer connected vertex edge dominating set of G. We characterize trees T of order n with l leaves, s support vertices, for which ${\gamma}^{oc}_{ve}(T)=(n-l+s+1)/3$ and also characterize trees with equal domination number and outer-connected vertex edge domination number.

A dominating set S of a graph G is said to be nonsplit dominating set if the subgraph ⟨V - S⟩ is connected. The minimum cardinality of a nonsplit dominating set is called the nonsplit domination number and is denoted by ��ns(G). For a minimum nonsplit dominating set S of G, a set T ⊆ S is called a forcing subset for S if S is the unique ��ns-set containing T. A forcing subset for S of minimum cardinality is a minimum forcing subset of S. The forcing nonsplit domination number of S, denoted by f��ns(S), is the cardinality of a minimum forcing subset of S. The forcing nonsplit domination number of G, denoted by f��ns(G) is defined by f��ns(G) = min{f��ns(S)}, where the minimum is taken over all ��ns-sets S in G. The forcing nonsplit domination number of certain standard graphs are determined. It is shown that, for every pair of positive integers a and b with 0 ≤ a ≤ b and b ≥ 1, there exists a connected graph G such that f��ns(G) = a and ��ns(G) = b. It is shown that, for every integer a ≥ 0, there exists a connected graph G with f��(G) = f��ns(G) = a, where f��(G) is the forcing domination number of the graph. Also, it is shown that, for every pair a, b of integers with a ≥ 0 and b ≥ 0 there exists a connected graph G such that f��(G) = a and f��ns(G) = b.

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.

Let G = (V, E) be a graph. A subset S of V is called a dominating set of G if every vertex not in S is adjacent to some vertex in S. The domination number γ(G) of G is the minimum cardinality taken over all dominating sets of G. A dominating set S is called a connected dominating set if the subgraph induced by S is connected. The minimum cardinality taken over all connected dominating sets of G is called the connected domination number of G, and is denoted by γ_c(G). In this paper, we investigate the Nordhaus-Gaddum type results for the connected domination number and its derived graphs like line graph, subdivision graph, power graph, block graph and total graph, and characterize the extremal graphs.

In this paper, we study domination in the zero-divisor graph of a *-ring. We first determine the domination number, the total domination number, and the connected domination number for the zero-divisor graph of the product of two *-rings with componentwise involution. Then, we study domination in the zero-divisor graph of a Rickart *-ring and relate it with the clique of the zero-divisor graph of a Rickart *-ring.

A pebbling move on a connected graph G is taking two pebbles off of one vertex and placing one of them on an adjacent vertex. The domination cover pebbling number ${\psi}(G)$ is the minimum number of pebbles required so that any initial configuration of pebbles can be transformed by a sequence of pebbling moves so that the set of vertices that contain pebbles forms a domination set of G. We determine the domination cover pebbling number for fans, fuses, and pseudo-star.

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.

Let G be a simple undirected graph. A planar graph known as a Halin graph(HG) is characterised by having three connected and pendent vertices of a tree that are connected by an outer cycle. A subset S of V is said to be a dominating set of the graph G if each vertex u that is part of V is dominated by at least one element v that is a part of S. The domination number of a graph is denoted by the γ(G), and it corresponds to the minimum size of a dominating set. A dominating set S is called a secure dominating set if for each v ∈ V＼S there exists u ∈ S such that v is adjacent to u and S₁ = (S＼{v}) ∪ {u} is a dominating set. The minimum cardinality of a secure dominating set of G is equal to the secure domination number γ_s(G). In this article we found the secure domination number of Halin graph(HG) with perfet k-ary tree and also we determined secure domination of rooted product of special trees.

A subset S of V (G), where G is a graph without isolated vertices, is a double dominating set of G if for each $x{{\in}}V(G)$, ${\mid}N_G[x]{\cap}S{\mid}{\geq}2$. This paper, shows that any positive integers a, b and n with $2{\leq}a<b$, $b{\geq}2a$ and $n{\geq}b+2a-2$, can be realized as domination number, double domination number and order, respectively. It also characterize the double dominating sets in the Cartesian and tensor products of two graphs and determine sharp bounds for the double domination numbers of these graphs. In particular, it show that if G and H are any connected non-trivial graphs of orders n and m respectively, then ${\gamma}_{{\times}2}(G{\square}H){\leq}min\{m{\gamma}_2(G),n{\gamma}_2(H)\}$, where ${\gamma}_2$, is the 2-domination parameter.
