A double Roman dominating function on a graph G=(V,E) is f:V?{0,1,2,3} satisfying the condition that every vertex u for which f(u)=0 adjacent to at least one assigned 3 or two vertices 2, and with f(u)=1 2 3.

The k-tuple domination problem, for a fixed positive integer k, is to find a minimum size vertex subset such that every vertex in the graph is dominated by at least k vertices in this set. The case when k 2 is called 2-tuple domination problem or double domination problem. In this paper, the 2-tuple domination problem is studied on interval graphs from an algorithmic point of view, which takes ...

Let k be a positive integer and let G = (V,E) be a simple graph. The k-tuple domination number γ×k(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of a k-tuple dominating set S, a set that for every vertex v ∈ V , |NG[v]∩S| ≥ k. Also the total k-domination number γ×k,t(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of a total k -dominating set S, a set that for every vertex v ∈ V , |NG(v)∩S| ≥ k. The k-transversal numb...

‎A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph G=(V,E) is a function  f : V → {0, 1, 2}  such that every vertex u for which f(u)=0 is‎ ‎adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f(v)=2‎. ‎An RDF f is called‎‎an outer independent Roman dominating function (OIRDF) if the set of‎‎vertices assigned a 0 under f is an independent set‎. ‎The weight of an‎‎OIRDF is the sum of its function values over ...

Let G = (V,E) be a graph and f be a function f : V → {0, 1, 2}. A vertex u with f(u) = 0 is said to be undefended with respect to f , if it is not adjacent to a vertex with positive weight. The function f is a weak Roman dominating function (WRDF) if each vertex u with f(u) = 0 is adjacent to a vertex v with f(v) > 0 such that the function f ′ : V → {0, 1, 2} defined by f ′ (u) = 1, f ′ (v) = f...

A Roman dominating function of a graph G is a labeling f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex with label 0 has a neighbor with label 2. The Roman domination number γR(G) of G is the minimum of ∑ v∈V (G) f(v) over such functions. Let G be a connected n-vertex graph. We prove that γR(G) ≤ 4n/5, and we characterize the graphs achieving equality. We obtain sharp upper and lower bounds for γR(...
