On global dominating -X-coloring of graphs
Rajeswari Malairaj, Sahul Hamid Isnail · Tamkang Journal of Mathematics · 2017
Let $G$ be a graph. Among all $\chi$-colorings of $G$, a coloring with the maximum number of color classes that are global dominating sets in $G$ is called a global dominating-$\chi$-coloring of $G$. The number of color classes that are global dominating sets in a global dominating-$\chi$-coloring of $G$ is defined to be the global dominating -$\chi$- color number of $G$, denoted by $gd_{\chi}(G)$. This concept was introduced in \cite{a78}. This paper extends the study of this notion.
