Let k be a positive integer, and let G be a simple graph with vertex set V (G). A k-distance Roman dominating function on G is a labeling f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} such that for every vertex with label 0, there is a vertex with label 2 at distance at most k from each other. The weight of a k-distance Roman dominating function f is the value ω(f) = ∑ v∈V f(v). The k-distance Roman domination number ...

The knowledge about the Roman military medicine comes primarily from the excavations at the valetudinaria. Medical instruments, medicine containers and remains of medicinal plants found there indicate that the Roman army strived to provide unwell legionaries with excelle...

A signed Roman dominating function on the digraphD is a function f : V (D) −→ {−1, 1, 2} such that ∑ u∈N−[v] f(u) ≥ 1 for every v ∈ V (D), where N−[v] consists of v and all inner neighbors of v, and every vertex u ∈ V (D) for which f(u) = −1 has an inner neighbor v for which f(v) = 2. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of distinct signed Roman dominating functions on D with the property that ∑d i=1 fi(...
