Let $G$ be a simple graph with vertex set $V$. A double Roman dominating function (DRDF) on $G$ is a function $f:Vrightarrow{0,1,2,3}$ satisfying that if $f(v)=0$, then the vertex $v$ must be adjacent to at least two vertices assigned $2$ or one vertex assigned $3$ under $f$, whereas if $f(v)=1$, then the vertex $v$ must be adjacent to at least one vertex assigned $2$ or $3$. The weight of a DR...

A function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} is a Roman dominating function for a graph G = (V,E) if for every vertex v with f(v) = 0, there exists a vertex w ∈ N(v) with f(w) = 2. Emperor Constantine had the requirement that an army or legion could be sent from its home to defend a neighboring location only if there was a second army which would stay and protect the home. Thus, there are two types of armi...

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. The Roman domination subdivision number sdγR(G) is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (each edge in G can be subdivided at most once) in order t...

Let G = (V, E) be a graph. A set D ⊆ V is a total restrained dominating set of G if every vertex in V has a neighbor in D and every vertex in V −D has a neighbor in V −D. The cardinality of a minimum total restrained dominating set in G is the total restrained domination number of G. In this paper, we define the concept of total restrained domination edge critical graphs, find a lower bound for...

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph G = (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 f is w(f) = ∑ v∈V f(v). The Roman domination number is the minimum weight of an RDF in G. It is known that for every graph G, the Roman domination number of G is bounded above...

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...

Let $D$ be a finite simple digraph with vertex set $V(D)$ and arcset $A(D)$. A twin signed total Roman dominating function (TSTRDF) on thedigraph $D$ is a function $f:V(D)rightarrow{-1,1,2}$ satisfyingthe conditions that (i) $sum_{xin N^-(v)}f(x)ge 1$ and$sum_{xin N^+(v)}f(x)ge 1$ for each $vin V(D)$, where $N^-(v)$(resp. $N^+(v)$) consists of all in-neighbors (resp.out-neighbors) of $v$, and (...

For a graph G = (V,E), a set S ⊆ V is a restrained dominating set if every vertex not in S is adjacent to a vertex in S as well as another vertex in V − S. The restrained domination number of G, denoted by γr(G), is the smallest cardinality of a restrained dominating set of G. In this paper we find all graphs G satisfying γr(G) = n− 3, where n is the order of G.

A {em weak signed Roman dominating function} (WSRDF) of a graph $G$ with vertex set $V(G)$ is defined as afunction $f:V(G)rightarrow{-1,1,2}$ having the property that $sum_{xin N[v]}f(x)ge 1$ for each $vin V(G)$, where $N[v]$ is theclosed neighborhood of $v$. The weight of a WSRDF is the sum of its function values over all vertices.The weak signed Roman domination number of $G...
