Perfect and quasiperfect domination in trees

A k quasip erfect dominating set of a connected graph G is a vertex subset S such that every vertex not in S is adjacent to at least one and at most k vertices in S . The cardinality of a minimum k-quasip erfect dominating set in G is denoted by 1 k ( G ) . These graph parameters were rst intro duce...

Sumario:A k quasip erfect dominating set of a connected graph G is a vertex subset S such that every vertex not in S is adjacent to at least one and at most k vertices in S . The cardinality of a minimum k-quasip erfect dominating set in G is denoted by 1 k ( G ) . These graph parameters were rst intro duced by Chellali et al. (2013) as a generalization of b oth the p erfect domination numb er 11 ( G ) and the domination numb er ( G ) . The study of the so-called quasip erfect domination chain 11 ( G ) 12 ( G ) 1 ( G ) = ( G ) enable us to analyze how far minimum dominating sets are from b eing p erfect. In this pap er, we provide, for any tree T and any p ositive integer k , a tight upp er b ound of 1 k ( T ) . We also prove that there are trees satisfying all p ossible equalities and inequalities in this chain. Finally a linear algorithm for computing 1 k ( T ) in any tree T is presente
