For a graph G, its k-rainbow independent domination number, written as γrik(G), is defined the cardinality of minimum set consisting k vertex-disjoint sets V1,V2,…,Vk such that every vertex in V0=V(G)\(∪i=1kVi) has neighbor Vi for all i∈{1,2,…,k}. This invariant was proposed by Kraner Šumenjak, Rall and Tepeh (in Applied Mathematics Computation 333(15), 2018: 353–361), which aims to compute num...
