Abstract

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$‎, ‎a dominating set $D\subseteq V$ is called a semi-strong split dominating set of $G$ if $|V\setminus D|\geq1$ and the maximum degree of the induced subgraph $\langle V\setminus D \rangle$ is $1$‎. ‎The cardinality of a minimum semi-strong split dominating set (SSSDS) of $G$ is the semi-strong split domination number of $G$‎, ‎denoted $\gamma_{sss}(G)$‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we introduce the concept and prove several results regarding it‎.
