1	Powerful Alliances in Graphs Brigham, Robert C., Dutton, Ronald D., Haynes, Teresa W., Hedetniemi, Stephen T. 28 April 2009 (has links) For a graph G = (V, E), a non-empty set S ⊆ V is a defensive alliance if for every vertex v in S, v has at most one more neighbor in V - S than it has in S, and S is an offensive alliance if for every v ∈ V - S that has a neighbor in S, v has more neighbors in S than in V - S. A powerful alliance is both defensive and offensive. We initiate the study of powerful alliances in graphs. alliance defensive alliance domination global powerful alliance offensive alliance powerful alliance Mathematics and Statistics
