Abstract

For any graph G=(V,E), a subset S⊆ V is called \it an isolating set of G if V∖ NG[S] is an independent set of G, where NG[S]=S∪ NG(S), and \it the isolation number of G, denoted by ι(G), is the size of a smallest isolating set of G. In this article, we show that the isolation number of the middle graph of G is equal to the size of a smallest maximal matching of G.
