Abstract

A set D of vertices in a graph G=(V,E) is a nonsplit dominating set if the induced subgraph is connected. The minimum cardinality of a nonsplit dominating set is called the nonsplit domination number of G and denoted γ_ns (G). In this paper, we define the nonsplit bondage number b_ns (G) of a graph G to be the minimum cardinality of a set E of edges for which γ_ns (G-E)> γ_ns (G). We obtain sharp bounds for b_ns (G) and obtain the exact values for some standard graphs.
