3 Secure Set An Attack on S A : S P(V (G) S) such that A(u) N G [u] S for any u S and A(u) A(v) = for any u v S. A Defense of S D : S P(S) such that D(u) N G [u] S for any u S and D(u) D(v) = for any u v S.

4 Secure Set An Attack on S A : S P(V (G) S) such that A(u) N G [u] S for any u S and A(u) A(v) = for any u v S. A Defense of S D : S P(S) such that D(u) N G [u] S for any u S and D(u) D(v) = for any u v S.

5 Secure Set An Attack on S A : S P(V (G) S) such that A(u) N G [u] S for any u S and A(u) A(v) = for any u v S. A Defense of S D : S P(S) such that D(u) N G [u] S for any u S and D(u) D(v) = for any u v S. R. Brigham, R. Dutton and S. Hedetniemi, 004 A subset S of V (G) is a secure set of G if for any attack A on S, there exists a defense D of S such that D(u) A(u) for any u S.

6 Secure Set A subset S of V (G) is a dominating set if N G [S] = V (G). Secure-dominating Set and Secure-dominating Number A subset S of V (G) is a secure-dominating set of G if S is a secure set of G that is also a dominating set of G. The secure-dominating number γ s (G) of G is the minimum cardinality of secure-dominating sets of G.

7 Secure Set A subset S of V (G) is a dominating set if N G [S] = V (G). Secure-dominating Set and Secure-dominating Number A subset S of V (G) is a secure-dominating set of G if S is a secure set of G that is also a dominating set of G. The secure-dominating number γ s (G) of G is the minimum cardinality of secure-dominating sets of G.

8 Preliminary Proposition.1 If S is a secure set of a graph G, then for each vertex v in S, N G [v] S N G (v) S. Theorem.4 For any graph G, γ s (G) G. Let S be a secure-dominating set. S D(u) A(u) V (G) S. u S u S

9 Known Results C.-L. Chang, T.-P. Chang and D. Kuo, 009 γ s (P m P n ) = mn, if m and n are at least two; γ s (P m C n ) = mn, if m and n 3; γ s (C m C n ) = mn + 1, if m (mod 4) and n 3 (mod 4); γ s (C m C n ) = mn, if m (mod 4) or n 3 (mod 4). γ s (K m1,m,...,m l ) = m 1+m + +m l, if l. K.-P. Huang and S.-T. Juan, 011 If l is an integer at least and m 1, m,..., m l are positive integers, then γ S (P m1 P m P ml ) = γ S (K m1 K m K ml ) = m 1 m m l.

10 Main Idea 1 Let V 1, V,..., V k be a partition of V (G). If S i is a secure-dominating set of G[V i ] for each 1 i k, and N[S i ] N[S j ] =, for any 1 i j k, then S 1 S S k is a secure-dominating set of G. If u is not in S, then u V i S for some i. Only the vertices in S i can be attacked by u.

11 Main Idea Let S be a dominating set and V (G) S = {v 1, v,..., v k }. If S can be partitioned into S 1, S,..., S k such that, for each i, N(v i ) S N[S i ] S. Then S is a secure-dominating set. If some vertex in S is attacked by v i, then we can use some vertex in S i to defense the attack.

12 Results on the strong product of two graphs Strong Product of Graphs Let X and Y be two graphs. The strong product X Y of X and Y is the graph such that V (X Y ) = V (X) V (Y ), (x 1, y 1 ) (x, y ) in X Y if and only if x 1 = x or x 1 x in X, and y 1 = y or y 1 y in Y.

13 P 9 P 5 S 9,5 = {(, j) : j 1, (mod 4)} {(i, j) : i 0, 3 (mod 4), 1 j 5}.

14 P 9 P 5 S 9,5 = {(, j) : j 1, (mod 4)} {(i, j) : i 0, 3 (mod 4), 1 j 5}.

15 P 9 P 5 S 9,5 = {(, j) : j 1, (mod 4)} {(i, j) : i 0, 3 (mod 4), 1 j 5}.

16 Results on the strong product of two graphs Lemma Let G and H are two graphs. If S G is a secure-dominating set of G, then S = {(s, h) : s S G, h V (H)} is a secure-dominating set of G H.

17 Results on the strong product of two graphs Lemma Let G and H are two graphs. If S G is a secure-dominating set of G, then S = {(s, h) : s S G, h V (H)} is a secure-dominating set of G H.

18 Results on the strong product of two graphs Lemma Let G and H are two graphs. If S G is a secure-dominating set of G, then S = {(s, h) : s S G, h V (H)} is a secure-dominating set of G H.

19 Results on the strong product of two graphs Lemma Let G and H are two graphs. If S G is a secure-dominating set of G, then S = {(s, h) : s S G, h V (H)} is a secure-dominating set of G H.

20 Results on the strong product of two graphs Theorem 6. Let G and H be two gaphs. We have γ s (G H) min{γ s (G) H, G γ s (H)}. Let S G be a secure-dominating set of G with size γ s (G) and S H be a secure-dominating set of H with size γ s (H). By Lemma, S = {(s, h) : s S G, h V (H)} and S = {(s, h ) : s V (G), h S H } are both secure-dominating sets of G H. Hence, γ s (G H) min{ S, S } = min{ S G H, G S H } = min{γ s (G) H, G γ s (H)}.

21 Results on the strong product of two graphs Corollary 6.3 Let G and H be two graphs. If γ s (G) = G, then γ s (G H) = G H. If γ s (G) = G, then γs (G H) min{γ s (G) H, G γ s (H)} = min{ G H, G γ s (H)} = G H = G H by Theorem.4. By Theorem 6., γ s (G H) G H. Hence, γ s (G H) = G H.

22 Results on H[G] Lexicographic Product of Graphs Let X and Y be two graphs. The lexicographic product X[Y ] of X and Y is the graph such that V (X[Y ]) = V (X) V (Y ), (x 1, y 1 ) (x, y ) in X[Y ] if and only if either x 1 x in X, or x 1 = x and y 1 y in Y.

23 Results on H[G] Lemma 7.1 Let G and H be two graphs. If S G is a secure-dominating set of G, then H[S G ] = {(h, g) : h V (H), g S G } is a secure-dominating set of H[G].

24 Results on H[G] Lemma 7.1 Let G and H be two graphs. If S G is a secure-dominating set of G, then H[S G ] = {(h, g) : h V (H), g S G } is a secure-dominating set of H[G].

25 Results on H[G] Lemma 7.1 Let G and H be two graphs. If S G is a secure-dominating set of G, then H[S G ] = {(h, g) : h V (H), g S G } is a secure-dominating set of H[G].

26 Results on H[G] Lemma 7.1 Let G and H be two graphs. If S G is a secure-dominating set of G, then H[S G ] = {(h, g) : h V (H), g S G } is a secure-dominating set of H[G].

27 Results Theorem 7. Let G and H be two graphs, we have γ s (H[G]) γ s (G) H. Let S G is a secure-dominating set with size γ s (G), then γ s (H[G]) H[S G ] γ s (G) H.

28 Conclusions γ s (P m P n ) = mn ; γ s (P m C n ) = mn, if m is even or n (mod 4); mn γs (P m C n ) mn + 1, if m is odd and n (mod 4); γ s (C m C n ) = mn, if m 0 (mod 4), or m and n are both odd mn except m n 3 (mod 4); γs (C m C n ) mn + 1, if m n 3 (mod 4) except m = n = 7, or m (mod 4) and n is odd; γs (C m C n ) mn +, if m and n are both 7 or m n (mod 4). mn

29 Conclusions γ s (G H) min{γ s (G) H, G γ s (H)}, if G and H are two graphs; γ s (P m G) = γ s (K m G) = m G, if m is even; m G γs (P m G) γ s (G) + (m 1) G, if m is odd; m G γs (K m G) γ S (G) + (m 1) G, if m is odd. γ s (H[G]) γ s (G) H for any two graphs G and H.
