Abstract

The fixing number of a graph G is the smallest cardinality of a set of vertices \(F ⊆ V (G)\) such that only the trivial automorphism of \(G\) fixes every vertex in \(F\). In this paper, we introduce and study three new fixing parameters: fixing share, fixing polynomial and fixing value.

Keywords:

Fixing number, fixing share, fixing polynomial, fixing value.
