• Resumen

  • For a connected graph G of order n, a set S of vertices is called a double geodetic set of G if for each pair of vertices x, y in G there exist vertices u, v ∈ S such that x, y ∈ I[u, v]. The double geodetic number dg(G) is the minimum cardinality of a double geodetic set. Any double godetic set of cardinality dg(G) is called a dg-set of G. A connected double geodetic set of G is a double geodetic set S such that the subgraph G[S] induced by S is connected. The mínimum cardinality of a connected double geodetic set of G is the connected double geodetic number of G and is denoted by dgc(G). A connected double geodetic set of cardinality dgc(G) is called a dgc-set of G. A total double geodetic set of a graph G is a double geodetic set S such that the subgraph G[S] induced by S has no isolated vertices. The minimum cardinality of a total double geodetic set of G is the total double geodetic number of G and is denoted by dgt(G). For positive integers r, d and k ≥ 4 with r ≤ d ≤ 2r, there exists a connected graph G with rad G = r, diam G = d and dgt(G) = k. It is shown that if n, a, b are positive integers such that 4 ≤ a ≤ b ≤ n, then there exists a connected graph G of order n with dgt(G) = a and dgc(G) = b. Also, for integers a, b with 4 ≤ a ≤ b and b ≤ 2a, there exists a connected graph G such that dg(G) = a and dgt(G) = b.
