Abstract

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph of order $n$ and size $m.$ The graph $Sp(G)$ obtained from $G$ by adding a new vertex $v'$ for every vertex $v\in V$ and joining $v'$ to all neighbors of $v$ in $G$ is called the splitting graph of $G.$ In this paper, we determine the domination number, the total domination number, connected domination number, paired domination number and independent domination number for the splitting graph $Sp(G).$
