The research introduces a new concept in graph theory by exploring the properties and implications of independent rings dominating sets within graphs. Specifically, it defines a subset of vertices in a graph that is both an independent dominating set and a rings dominating set, establishing what is now termed as the independent rings domination number of a graph.
The study further investigates the characteristics of such sets in various graph structures, including those formed through the join and corona operations of two graphs.
Findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge in mathematical graph theory and have potential applications in areas like network design, optimization, and theoretical computer science.
