Abstract

In this paper, we introduce new concept in graph theory called 2-distance zero forcing. We give some properties of this new parameter and investigate its connections with other parameters such as zero forcing and hop domination. We show that 2-distance zero forcing and hop domination (respectively, zero forcing parameter) are incomparable. Moreover, we characterize 2-distance zero forcing sets in some special graphs, and finally derive the exact values or bounds of the parameter using these results.
