Abstract

Let G = (V,E) be any graph. For any v ∈ V , the set N(v) = {u ∈ V/uv ∈ E} is the open neighbourhood of the vertex v; while the set N[v] = N(v){v} is the closed neighbourhood of v. Similarly, for any edge x = uv, N(x) = {y E/y is adjacent to x} and N[x] = N(x){x}. Then N[x] denotes the induced subgraph of G induced by the set N(v)N(u). We define three types of degrees: The VE-degree of a vertex uV , dve(u) is the number of edges in N[v] . The EV-degree of an edge x ∈ E, dev(x) is the number of vertices in N[x] and the EE-degree of an edge dee(x) is the number of edges in N[x]. In this paper, we obtain an expression for the sum of VE-degrees of all vertices, the sum of EV-degrees of all the edges and the sum of EE-degrees of all the edges, all of which are similar to the handshaking lemma. We have defined three types of domination, viz., Vertex-Edge Domination, Edge-Vertex Domination and Edge-Edge Domination. We also obtain some bounds for the three domination numbers using the new degree concepts.
