A Roman dominating function on a graphG is a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that every vertex u ∈ V (G) for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v ∈ V (G) for which f(v) = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is the value f(V (G)) = ∑ u∈V (G) f(u). The Roman domination number γR(G) of G is the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on G. A Ro...

Let D be a finite and simple digraph with vertex set V (D). A signed total Roman k-dominating function (STRkDF) on D is a function f : V (D) → {−1, 1, 2} satisfying the conditions that (i) ∑ x∈N−(v) f(x) ≥ k for each v ∈ V (D), where N−(v) consists of all vertices of D from which arcs go into v, and (ii) every vertex u for which f(u) = −1 has an inner neighbor v for which f(v) = 2. The weight o...

Let D be a finite and simple digraph with vertex set V (D) and arc set A(D). A signed Roman dominating function (SRDF) on the digraph D is a function f : V (D) → {−1, 1, 2} satisfying the conditions that (i) ∑ x∈N−[v] f(x) ≥ 1 for each v ∈ V (D), where N −[v] consists of v and all inner neighbors of v, and (ii) every vertex u for which f(u) = −1 has an inner neighbor v for which f(v) = 2.

LetD = (V,A) be a finite and simple digraph. A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a digraph D is a labeling f : V (D) → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex with label 0 has a in-neighbor with label 2. The weight of an RDF f is the value ω(f) = ∑ v∈V f(v). The Roman domination number of a digraph D, denoted by γR(D), equals the minimum weight of an RDF on D. In this paper we present some sharp boun...

For a graph property P and a graph G, a subset S of the vertices of G is a P-set if the subgraph induced by S has the property P. A P-Roman dominating function on 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 and the set of all vertices with label 1 or 2 is a P-set. The P-Roman domination number γPR(G) of G is the minimum of Σv∈V (...

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a digraph $D$ is a function $f: V(D)rightarrow {0,1,2}$ satisfying the condition that every vertex $v$ with $f(v)=0$ has an in-neighbor $u$ with $f(u)=2$. The weight of an RDF $f$ is the value $sum_{vin V(D)}f(v)$. The Roman domination number of a digraph $D$ is the minimum weight of an RDF on $D$. A set ${f_1,f_2,dots,f_d}$ of Roman dominating functions on ...

Domination is a rapidly developing area of research in graph theory, and its various applications to ad hoc networks, distributed computing, social networks and web graphs partly explain the increased interest. This thesis focuses on domination theory, and the main aim of the study is to apply a probabilistic approach to obtain new upper bounds for various domination parameters. Chapters 2 and ...
