A function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} is a Roman dominating function if for every vertex with f(v) = 0, there exists a vertex w ∈ N(v) with f(w) = 2. We introduce two fractional Roman domination parameters, γR ◦ f and γRf , from relaxations of two equivalent integer programming formulations of Roman domination (the former using open neighborhoods and the later using closed neighborhoods in the Roman...

A signed Roman dominating function (SRDF) on a graph G is a function f : V (G) → {−1, 1, 2} such that u∈N [v] f(u) ≥ 1 for every v ∈ V (G), and every vertex u ∈ V (G) for which f(u) = −1 is adjacent to at least one vertex w for which f(w) = 2. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of distinct signed Roman dominating functions on G with the property that ∑d i=1 fi(v) ≤ 1 for each v ∈ V (G), is called a sig...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we investigate domination number‎, ‎$gamma$‎, ‎as well‎ ‎as signed domination number‎, ‎$gamma_{_S}$‎, ‎of all cubic Cayley‎ ‎graphs of cyclic and quaternion groups‎. ‎In addition‎, ‎we show that‎ ‎the domination and signed domination numbers of cubic graphs depend‎ on each other‎.

The complementary prism GG of a graph G is formed from the disjoint union of G and its complement G by adding the edges of a perfect matching between the corresponding vertices of G and G. A Roman dominating function on a graph G = (V,E) is a labeling f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex with label 0 is adjacent to a vertex with label 2. The Roman domination number γR(G) ofG is the mini...

A caterpillar is a tree with the property that after deleting all its vertices of degree 1 a simple path is obtained. The signed 2-domination number γ s (G) and the signed total 2-domination number γ st(G) of a graph G are variants of the signed domination number γs(G) and the signed total domination number γst(G). Their values for caterpillars are studied.

A Roman dominating function on a graph G is a function f : V (G) → {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 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. In this paper, we s...

We investigate a domination-like problem from the exact exponential algorithms viewpoint. The classical Dominating Set problem ranges among one of the most famous and studied NP -complete covering problems [6]. In particular, the trivial enumeration algorithm of runtime O∗(2n) 4 has been improved to O∗(1.4864n) in polynomial space, and O∗(1.4689n) with exponential space [9]. Many variants of th...

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(...
