Abstract

We study the computational complexity of partitioning the vertices of a graph into generalized dominating sets. Generalized dominating sets are parameterized by two sets of nonnegative integers sigma and rho which constrain the neighborhood N(v) of vertices. A set S of vertices of a graph is said to be a (sigma, rho)-set if forall v in S: |N(v) intersect S| in sigma and forall v not in S: |N(v) intersect S | in rho. The (k, sigma, rho )-partition problem asks for the existence of a partition V1, V2,...,Vk of vertices of a given graph G such that Vi, i=1,2,...,k is a (sigma, rho)-set of G. We study the computational complexity of this problem as the parameters sigma, rho and k vary.
