The total detour monophonic number of a graph

Abstract: For a connected graph G = (V, E) of order at least two, a chord of a path P is an edge joining two non-adjacent vertices of P. A path P is called a monophonic path if it is a chordless path. A longest x − y monophonic path is called an x − y detour monophonic path. A s...

description Abstract: For a connected graph G = (V, E) of order at least two, a chord of a path P is an edge joining two non-adjacent vertices of P. A path P is called a monophonic path if it is a chordless path. A longest x &#8722; y monophonic path is called an x &#8722; y detour monophonic path. A set S of vertices of G is a detour monophonic set of G if each vertex v of G lies on an x &#8722; y detour monophonic path for some x and y in S. The minimum cardinality of a detour monophonic set of G is the detour monophonic number of G and is denoted by dm(G). A total detour monophonic set of a graph G is a detour monophonic set S such that the subgraph induced by S has no isolated vertices. The minimum cardinality of a total detour monophonic set of G is the total detour monophonic number of G and is denoted by dm t (G). A total detour monophonic set of cardinality dm t (G) is called a dm t -set of G. We determine bounds for it and characterize graphs which realize the lower bound.
