1. Indicated domination gameBoštjan Brešar, Csilla Bujtás, Vesna Iršič, Douglas F. Rall, Zsolt Tuza, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Motivated by the success of domination games and by a variation of the coloring game called the indicated coloring game, we introduce a version of domination games called the indicated domination game. It is played on an arbitrary graph $G$ by two players, Dominator and Staller, where Dominator wants to finish the game in as few rounds as possible while Staller wants just the opposite. In each round, Dominator indicates a vertex $u$ of $G$ that has not been dominated by previous selections of Staller, which, by the rules of the game, forces Staller to select a vertex in the closed neighborhood of $u$. The game is finished when all vertices of $G$ become dominated by the vertices selected by Staller. Assuming that both players are playing optimally according to their goals, the number of selected vertices during the game is the indicated domination number, $\gamma_{\rm i}(G)$, of $G$. We prove several bounds on the indicated domination number expressed in terms of other graph invariants. In particular, we find a place of the new graph invariant in the well-known domination chain, by showing that $\gamma_{\rm i}(G)\ge \Gamma(G)$ for all graphs $G$, and by showing that the indicated domination number is incomparable with the game domination number and also with the upper irredundance number. In connection with the trivial upper bound $\gamma_{\rm i}(G)\le n(G)-\delta(G)$, we characterize the class of graphs $G$ attaining the bound provided that $n(G)\ge 2\delta(G)+2$. We prove that in trees, split graphs and grids the indicated domination number equals the independence number. We also find a formula for the indicated domination number of powers of paths, from which we derive that there exist graphs in which the indicated domination number is arbitrarily larger than the upper irredundance number. We provide some partial results supporting the statement that $\gamma_{\rm i}(G)=n(G)/2$ if $G$ is a cubic bipartite graph, and leave this as an open question.

2. Graphs with equal Grundy domination and independence numberGábor Bacsó, Boštjan Brešar, Kirsti Kuenzel, Douglas F. Rall, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The Grundy domination number, ${\gamma_{\rm gr}}(G)$, of a graph $G$ is the maximum length of a sequence $(v_1,v_2,\ldots, v_k)$ of vertices in $G$ such that for every $i\in \{2,\ldots, k\}$, the closed neighborhood $N[v_i]$ contains a vertex that does not belong to any closed neighborhood $N[v_j]$, where $jKljučne besede: Grundy domination, independence number, upper domination number, bipartite graphs

3. Domination and independence numbers of large 2-crossing-critical graphsVesna Iršič, Maruša Lekše, Miha Pačnik, Petra Podlogar, Martin Praček, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: After 2-crossing-critical graphs were characterized in 2016, their most general subfamily, large 3-connected 2-crossing-critical graphs, has attracted separate attention. This paper presents sharp upper and lower bounds for their domination and independence number.

4. Orientable domination in product-like graphsSarah Anderson, Boštjan Brešar, Sandi Klavžar, Kirsti Kuenzel, Douglas F. Rall, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The orientable domination number, ${\rm DOM}(G)$, of a graph $G$ is the largest domination number over all orientations of $G$. In this paper, ${\rm DOM}$ is studied on different product graphs and related graph operations. The orientable domination number of arbitrary corona products is determined, while sharp lower and upper bounds are proved for Cartesian and lexicographic products. A result of Chartrand et al. from 1996 is extended by establishing the values of ${\rm DOM}(K_{n_1,n_2,n_3})$ for arbitrary positive integers $n_1,n_2$ and $n_3$. While considering the orientable domination number of lexicographic product graphs, we answer in the negative a question concerning domination and packing numbers in acyclic digraphs posed in [Domination in digraphs and their direct and Cartesian products, J. Graph Theory 99 (2022) 359-377].

5. Computational complexity aspects of super dominationCsilla Bujtás, Nima Ghanbari, Sandi Klavžar, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Let ▫$G$▫ be a graph. A dominating set ▫$D\subseteq V(G)$▫ is a super dominating set if for every vertex ▫$x\in V(G) \setminus D$▫ there exists ▫$y\in D$▫ such that ▫$N_G(y)\cap (V(G)\setminus D)) = \{x\}$▫. The cardinality of a smallest super dominating set of ▫$G$▫ is the super domination number of ▫$G$▫. An exact formula for the super domination number of a tree ▫$T$▫ is obtained, and it is demonstrated that a smallest super dominating set of ▫$T$▫ can be computed in linear time. It is proved that it is NP-complete to decide whether the super domination number of a graph ▫$G$▫ is at most a given integer if ▫$G$▫ is a bipartite graph of girth at least ▫$8$▫. The super domination number is determined for all ▫$k$▫-subdivisions of graphs. Interestingly, in half of the cases the exact value can be efficiently computed from the obtained formulas, while in the other cases the computation is hard. While obtaining these formulas, II-matching numbers are introduced and proved that they are computationally hard to determine.

6. Packings in bipartite prisms and hypercubesBoštjan Brešar, Sandi Klavžar, Douglas F. Rall, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The $2$-packing number $\rho_2(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a largest $2$-packing of $G$ and the open packing number $\rho^{\rm o}(G)$ is the cardinality of a largest open packing of $G$, where an open packing (resp. $2$-packing) is a set of vertices in $G$ no two (closed) neighborhoods of which intersect. It is proved that if $G$ is bipartite, then $\rho^{\rm o}(G\Box K_2) = 2\rho_2(G)$. For hypercubes, the lower bounds $\rho_2(Q_n) \ge 2^{n - \lfloor \log n\rfloor -1}$ and $\rho^{\rm o}(Q_n) \ge 2^{n - \lfloor \log (n-1)\rfloor -1}$ are established. These findings are applied to injective colorings of hypercubes. In particular, it is demonstrated that $Q_9$ is the smallest hypercube which is not perfect injectively colorable. It is also proved that $\gamma_t(Q_{2^k}\times H) = 2^{2^k-k}\gamma_t(H)$, where $H$ is an arbitrary graph with no isolated vertices.
