Abstract

In this paper we introduce the concept of the global bipartite domination number \(\gamma_{g b}(G)\) of a connected bipartite graph \(G\) and study some of its general properties. Moreover we determine the global bipartite domination number of certain classes of graphs.

Keywords:

Domination, global bipartite domination, global bipartite domination number
