Abstract

In this chapter, two key domination parameters different from the standard domination number are discussed. The first, the independent domination number, was introduced by Stephen Hedetniemi and his coauthor Ernie Cockayne in 1974. The second, the total domination number, was introduced by Hedetniemi together with his coauthors Cockayne and Dawes in 1980.
