TLDR
It is shown that i + IR⩽2n + 2δ − 2 2nδ , which was conjectured by Cockayne, Favaron, Payan and Thomason, and that i = i + 2 δIR ⩽n + δ .

On independent domination number of regular graphs

TL;DR: This paper settles the conjecture of Haviland in the negative by constructing counterexamples, and shows that a connected cubic graph G of order n ⩾ 8 satisfies i ( G ) ⩽ 2 n /5, providing a new upper bound for cubic graphs.

Independent domination in regular graphs

TL;DR: This work investigates the maximum value of the product of the independent domination numbers of a graph and its complement, as a function of n, and proves that if G is regular then i(G) · i( G ) 2 /12.68 .

TL;DR: In this paper, exact exponential-time algorithms for computing the lower and upper irredundance numbers of a graph G on n vertices with running time O(1.99914^n) and O( 1.9369^n, respectively, were presented.

Graph‐theoretic parameters concerning domination, independence, and irredundance

TL;DR: It is proved that for any graph G, ir (G) > γ(G)/2 and for any grpah G with p vertices and no isolated vertices, i(G) ≤ p-γ(G), which is the minimum cardinality taken over all maximal sets of vertices having no redundancies.

Contributions to the theory of domination, independence and irredundance in graphs

TL;DR: A conjecture of Hoyler and Cockayne [9], namely i+@b=<2p + 2@d - 22p@d, is proved and sufficient conditions for the equality of the three upper parameters are given.

On the sum of two parameters concerning independence and irredundance in a graph

TL;DR: This paper proves that i(G) + IR (G) ⩽ 2p + 2k − 2√2 2pk was proposed in [1], where p = | G | and k is the minimum degree of G .
