Abstract

A pair x,y of vertices in a nontrivial connected graph G is said to geodominate a vertex v of G if either v{x,y} or v lies in an x-y geodesic of G. A set S of vertices of G is a geodominating set if every vertex of G is geodominated by some pair of vertices of S. A vertex of G is link-complete if the subgraph induced by its neighborhood is complete. A perfect geodominating set is a geodominating set S such that any vertex vV(G)\S is geodominated by exactly one pair of vertices of S. A k-perfect geodominating set is a geodominating set S such that any vertex vV(G)\S is geodominated by exactly one pair x, y of vertices of S with d(x, y) = k. The cardinality of a minimum perfect geodominating set in G is its perfect geodomination number gp(G) and the cardinality of a minimum k-perfect geodominating set in G is its k-perfect geodomination number gkp(G). We study perfect and k-perfect geodomination numbers of a graph G.
