摘要
We provide a new upper bound for the alpha-domination number in terms of a parameter alpha, 0 < alpha a parts per thousand currency sign 1, and graph vertex degrees. This result generalises the well-known Caro-Roditty bound for the domination number of a graph. The same probabilistic construction is used to generalise another well-known upper bound for the classical domination in graphs. Using a different probabilistic construction, we prove similar upper bounds for the alpha-rate domination number, which combines the concepts of alpha-domination and k-tuple domination.
