ON THE TWIN DOMINATION NUMBER IN GENERALIZED DE BRUIJN AND GENERALIZED KAUTZ DIGRAPHS

Abstract

Let V and A denote the vertex and edge sets of a digraph G. A set T ⊆V is a twin dominating set of G if for every vertex v ∈ V - T, there exist u, w ∈ T (possibly u = w) such that arcs (u, v), (v, w) ∈ A. The twin domination number γ*(G) of G is the cardinality of a minimum twin dominating set of G. In this note, we investigate the twin domination numbers of generalized de Bruijn digraph and generalized Kautz digraph. The bounds of twin domination number of special generalized Kautz digraphs are given.
