a 2-emph{rainbow dominating function} (2rdf) on a graph $g=(v, e)$ is afunction $f$ from the vertex set $v$ to the set of all subsets of the set${1,2}$ such that for any vertex $vin v$ with $f(v)=emptyset$ thecondition $bigcup_{uin n(v)}f(u)={1,2}$ is fulfilled. a 2rdf $f$ isindependent (i2rdf) if no two vertices assigned nonempty sets are adjacent.the emph{weight} of a 2rdf $f$ is the value $o...

Let K n denote the Cartesian product Kn Kn Kn, where Kn is the complete graph on n vertices. We show that the domination number of K n

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graphG = (V,E) is a function f : V −→ {0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that every vertex u for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f(v) = 2. The weight of an RDF is the value f(V (G)) = ∑ u∈V (G) f(u). An RDF f in a graph G is independent if no two vertices assigned positive values are adjacent. The Roman domination number γR(G)...

In this paper, we present new upper bounds for the global domination and Roman domination numbers and also prove that these results are asymptotically best possible. Moreover, we give upper bounds for the restrained domination and total restrained domination numbers for large classes of graphs, and show that, for almost all graphs, the restrained domination number is equal to the domination num...

We provide a simple constructive characterization for trees with equal domination and independent domination numbers, and for trees with equal domination and total domination numbers. We also consider a general framework for constructive characterizations for other equality problems.

A set S of vertices in a graph G is an independent dominating set of G if S is an independent set and every vertex not in S is adjacent to a vertex in S. The independent domination number of G, denoted by i(G), is the minimum cardinality of an independent dominating set. In this paper, we show that if G �= C5 ✷K2 is a connected cubic graph of order n that does not have a subgraph isomorphic to ...

 Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $M$ be an $R$-module with $T(M)$ as subset, the set of torsion elements. The total graph of the module denoted by $T(Gamma(M))$, is the (undirected) graph with all elements of $M$ as vertices, and for distinct elements $n,m in M$, the vertices $n$ and $m$ are adjacent if and only if $n+m in T(M)$. In this paper we study the domination number of $T(Gamma(M))$ a...
