Title
Efficient domination of the orientations of a graph
Abstract
For an orientation G of a simple graph G, N G [x] denotes the vertex x together with all those vertices in G for which there are arcs directed toward x . A set S of vertices of G is an efficient dominating set (EDS) of G provided that IFld | N G [x]∩ S| = 1 for every x in G . An efficiency of G is an ordered pair ( G , S ), where S is an EDS of the orientation G of G . The number of distinct efficiencies of G is denoted is denoted by η ( G ). We give a formula for η ( G ) which allows us to calculate it for complete graphs, complete bipartite graphs, cycles, and paths. We find the minimum and maximum value of η ( G ) among all graphs with a fixed number of edges. We also find the minimum and maximum value of η ( G ), as well as the external graphs, among all graphs with a fixed number of vertices. Finally, we show that the probability a random oriented graph has an EDS is exponentially small when such graph is chosen according to a uniform distribution.
