Domination in graphs experienced rapid growthsinceitsintroductionresultinginover1200paperspublishedondomination in graphs by the late 1990s. Noting the need for a comprehensive survey of the literature on domination in graphs, in 1998 Haynes, Hedetniemi, and Slater published the first two books on domination, Fundamentals of Domination in GraphsandDominationinGraphs:AdvancedTopics.WerefertotheseasBooksI andII. Theexplosivegrowthhascontinuedandtodaymorethan4000papershavebeen publishedondominationingraphs,andthematerialinBooksIandIIismorethan 20 years old. Thus, the authors think it is time for an update on the developments indominationtheorysince1998.Wealsowanttogiveacomprehensivetreatment ofthemajortopicsindomination.Thiscoverageofdominationincludingboththe fundamentalmajorresultsandupdateswillbeintheformofthreebooks,whichwe shallcallBooksIII,IV,andV. Book III, Domination in Graphs: Core Concepts, is written by the authors and concentrates, as the title suggests, on the three main types of domination in graphs: domination, independent domination, and total domination. It contains major results on these basic domination numbers, including proofs of selected results that illustrate many of the proof techniques that are used in domination theory. For the companion books, Books IV and V, we invited leading researchers indominationtocontributechapters. Book V has three parts, the first of which focuses on several domination- related concepts. The second part focuses on domination in (i) hypergraphs, (ii) chessboards, and (iii) digraphs and tournaments. The third part focuses on the developmentofalgorithmsandcomplexityofdominationparameters. Thepresentvolume,BookIV,concentratesonmajordominationparametersthat were not covered in Book III. Although well over 70 types of dominating sets have been defined, Book IV focuses on the primary ones that have received the most attention in the literature. In particular, the chapters include such parameters v vi Preface as paired domination, connected domination, restrained domination, domination functions,Romandomination,andpowerdomination. The authors of Book IV provide a survey of known results with a sampling of prooftechniquesforeachparameter.Toavoidexcessiverepetitionofdefinitionsand notations,Chapter1providesaglossaryofcommonlyusedtermsandChapter gives anoverviewofmodelsofdominationfromwhichtheparametersaredefined. This book is intended as a reference resource for researchers and is written to reach the following audience: First, the audience includes the established researchersinthefieldofdominationwhowantanupdatedcomprehensivecoverage on domination.

AndevenbeforeKönig,inthebooksbyDudeneyin1908 [8]andW.W.Rouse Ballin1905 [2],onecanfindtheconceptsofdomination,independentdomination, and total domination discussed in connection with various chessboard problems. AnditwasBallwho,inturn,creditedsuchpeopleasW.Ahrensin1910 [1],C.F. de Jaenisch in 1862 [7], Franz Nauck in 1850 [14], and Max Bezzel in 1848 [4] fortheircontributionstothesetypesofchessboardproblemsinvolvingdominating setsofchesspieces.

Sincethesubsequentchaptersinthisbookwilldealwithdominationparameters, there will be much overlap in the terminology and notation used. One purpose of this chapter is to present definitions common to many of the chapters in order to prevent termsbeingdefined repeatedly andtoavoidotherredundancy. Also,since graph theoryterminology and notationsometimes vary,inthisglossaryweclarify theterminologythatwillbeadoptedinsubsequentchapters. We proceed as follows. In Section 2.1, we present basic graph theory defi- nitions. We discuss common types of graphs in Section 2.2. Some fundamental graph constructions are given in Section 2.3. In Section 3.1 and Section 3.2, we presentparametersrelatedtoconnectivityanddistanceingraphs,respectively.The covering,packing,independence,andmatchingnumbersaredefinedinSection3.3. Finally in Section 3.4, we define selected domination-type parameters that will occurfrequentlythroughoutthebook. For more details and terminology, the reader is referred to the two books FundamentalsofDominationinGraphs [10]andDominationinGraphs,Advanced Topics [11] written and edited by Haynes, Hedetniemi, and Slater, and the book TotalDominationinGraphsbyHenningandYeo [12].Anannotatedglossary,from which many of the definitions in this chapter are taken, was produced by Gera, Haynes,Hedetniemi,andHenningin2018 [9]. 2 BasicTerminology Inthissection,wegivebasicdefinitions,commontypesofgraphs,andfundamental graphconstructions.
