Abstract:
In this paper, we initiate a study of global dominated coloring of graphs as
a variation of dominated colorings. A global dominated coloring of a graph
$G$ {is a proper coloring such that for each color class there are at least
two vertices, one of which is adjacent to all the vertices of this class while
the other one is not adjacent to any vertex of the class. The global dominated
chromatic number of $G$ is the minimum number of colors used among all global
dominated colorings of $G.$ In this paper, we establish various bounds on the
global dominated chromatic number of a graph in terms of some graph invariants
including the order, dominated chromatic number, domination number and total
domination number. Moreover, characterizations of extremal graphs attaining some
of these bounds are provided.} We also discuss the global dominated coloring in
trees and split graphs.
