Connected and Total Vertex covering in Graphs
Main Article Content
Abstract
A Subset S of vertices of a Graph G is called a vertex cover if S includes at least one end point of every edge of the Graph. A Vertex cover S of G is a connected vertex cover if the induced subgraph of S is connected. The minimum cardinality of such a set is called the connected vertex covering number and it is denoted by . A Vertex cover S of G is a total vertex cover if the induced subgraph of S has no isolates. The minimum cardinality of such a set is called the total vertex covering number and it is denoted by .In this paper a few properties of connected vertex cover and total vertex covers are studied and specific values of and of some well-known graphs are evaluated.
