Abstract

The concept of inverse domination was introduced by Kulli V. R. and Sigarakanti S. C. [9] . Let D be a ? - set of G. A dominating set D1 ? V- D is called an inverse dominating set of G with respect to D. The inverse domination number ? ? (G) is the order of a smallest inverse dominating set. Motivated by this definition we define another parameter as follows. Let D be a maximum independent set in G. An independent set S ? V- D is called an inverse independent set with respect to D. The inverse independence Number ?0-1(G) = max {|S| : S is an inverse independent set of G}. We find few bounds on inverse domination number and also initiate the study of the inverse independence number giving few bounds on inverse independence number of a graph.
