Defensive alliances in graphs: a survey

A set $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a defensive $k$-alliance in $G$ if every vertex of $S$ has at least $k$ more neighbors inside of $S$ than outside. This is primarily an expository article surveying the principal known results on defensive alliances in graph. Its seven sections are: Introduction, Computational complexity and realizability, Defensive $k$-alliance number, Boundary defensive $k$-alliances, Defensive alliances in Cartesian product graphs, Partitioning a graph into defensive $k$-alliances, and Defensive $k$-alliance free sets.
