  • Abstract
    The coalition in a graph $G$ consists of two disjoint sets of vertices $V_{1}$ and $V_{2}$, neither of which is a dominating set but whose union $V_{1}\cup  V_{2}$, is a dominating set. A coalition partition in a graph $G$ is a vertex partition $\pi$ = $\{V_1, V_2,\dots, V_k \}$ such that every set $V_i \in \pi$ is not a dominating set but forms a coalition with another set $V_j\in \pi$ which is not a dominating set. The coalition number $C(G)$ equals the maximum $k$ of a coalition partition  of $G$. In this paper, we compute the coalition numbers of all cubic graphs of order at most $10$.
