Reducing the domination number of graphs via edge contractions and vertex deletions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In this work, we study the following problem: given a connected graph G, can we reduce the domination number of G by at least one using k edge contractions, for some fixed integer k>0? We show that for k=1 (resp. k=2), the ... -
Reducing the smoking-related health burden in the USA through diversion to electronic cigarettes: a system dynamics simulation study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Electronic cigarettes (“e-cigarettes”) have altered tobacco smoking trends, and their impacts are controversial. Given their lower risk relative to combustible tobacco, e-cigarettes have potential for harm ... -
