Abstract: Let G=(V,E) be a simple graph. For a nonempty set XsubsetV, and a vertex vinV, deltaX(v) denotes the number of neighbors v has in X. A nonempty set SsubsetV is an emph{offensive r-alliance} in G if forallvinpartial(S), where partial(S) denotes the boundary of S. An offensive r-alliance S is called emph{global} if it forms a dominating set. The emph{global offensive r-alliance number} of G, denoted by gammaro(G), is the minimum cardinality of a global offensive r-alliance in G. We show that the problem of finding optimal (global) offensive r-alliances is NP-complete and we obtain several tight bounds on gammaro(G).
