Complementary Tree Nil Domination Number of a Graph

Abstract

A set D of a graph G = (V, E) is a dominating set, if every vertex in V-D is adjacent to some vertex in D. The domination number (G) of G is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set. A dominating set D of a connected graph G is called a complementary tree nil dominating set if the induced sub graph <V-D> is a tree and V-D is not a dominating set . The minimum cardinality of a complementary tree nil dominating set is called the complementary tree nil domination number of G and is denoted by ctnd(G). In this paper, bounds for ctnd(G) and its exact values for some particular classes of graphs are found. Some results on complementary tree nil domination number are also established.
