Abstract

Domination parameters in random graphs G(n,p), where p is a fixed real number in (0,1), are investigated. We show that with probability tending to 1 as n→ ∞, the total and independent domination numbers concentrate on the domination number of G(n,p).

Keywords: domination, random graphs, independent domination, total domination.
