Abstract:

A 2-rainbow dominating function ( ) of a graph  is a function  from the vertex set  to the set of all subsets of the set  such that for any vertex  with  the condition  is fulfilled, where  is the open neighborhood of . A maximal 2-rainbow dominating function on a graph  is a 2-rainbow dominating function  such that the set is not a dominating set of . The weight of a maximal    is the value . The maximal 2-rainbow domination number of a graph , denoted by , is the the minimum weight of a maximal   of . In this paper, we continue the study of maximal 2-rainbow domination number. We characterize all graphs  of order  whose maximal 2-rainbow domination number is equal to 2 or 3. Finally, we characterize all graphs  of order  with  for which .

Bounds on the 2-Rainbow Domination Number of Graphs

A 2-rainbow domination function of a graph G is a function f that assigns to each vertex a set of colors chosen from the set {1, 2}, such that for any v ∈ V (G), f(v) = ∅ implies

On the 2-rainbow domination in graphs

The concept of 2-rainbow domination of a graph G coincides with the ordinary domination of the prism G K2. In this paper, we show that the problem of deciding if a graph has a 2-rainbow dominating function of a given weight is NP-complete even when restricted to bipartite graphs or chordal graphs. Exact values of 2-rainbow domination numbers of several classes of graphs are found, and it is sho...

On the super domination number of graphs

The open neighborhood of a vertex $v$ of a graph $G$ is the set $N(v)$ consisting of all vertices adjacent to $v$ in $G$. For $Dsubseteq V(G)$, we define $overline{D}=V(G)setminus D$. A set $Dsubseteq V(G)$ is called a super dominating set of $G$ if for every vertex $uin overline{D}$, there exists $vin D$ such that $N(v)cap overline{D}={u}$. The super domination number of $G$ is the minimum car...

On the Domination Number of Some Graphs

Let G = (V,E) be a simple graph. A set S ⊆ V is a dominating set of graph G, if every vertex in V − S is adjacent to at least one vertex in S. The domination number γ(G) is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set in G. It is well known that if e ∈ E(G), then γ(G− e)−1 ≤ γ(G) ≤ γ(G− e). In this paper, as an application of this inequality, we obtain the domination number of some certain graph...

On 2-rainbow domination and Roman domination in graphs

A Roman dominating function of a graph G is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex with 0 has a neighbor with 2. The minimum of f (V (G)) = ∑ v∈V f (v) over all such functions is called the Roman domination number γR(G). A 2-rainbow dominating function of a graphG is a function g that assigns to each vertex a set of colors chosen from the set {1, 2}, for each vertex v ∈ V (G) such ...
