Title
Parameterized complexity of generalized domination problems
Abstract
Given two sets 驴, ρ of nonnegative integers, a set S of vertices of a graph G is (驴,ρ)-dominating if |S 驴 N(v)| 驴 驴 for every vertex v 驴 S, and |S 驴 N(v)| 驴 ρ for every v 驴 S. This concept, introduced by Telle in 1990's, generalizes and unifies several variants of graph domination studied separately before. We study the parameterized complexity of (驴,ρ)-domination in this general setting. Among other results we show that existence of a (驴,ρ)-dominating set of size k (and at most k) are W[1]-complete problems (when parameterized by k) for any pair of finite sets 驴 and ρ. We further present results on dual parametrization by n 驴 k, and results on certain infinite sets (in particular for 驴, ρ being the sets of even and odd integers).
