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

OF THE DISSERTATION Applications and Variations of Domination in Graphs by Paul Andrew Dreyer, Jr. Dissertation Director: Fred S. Roberts In a graph G = (V, E), S ⊆ V is a dominating set of G if every vertex is either in S or joined by an edge to some vertex in S. Many different types of domination have been researched extensively. This dissertation explores some new variations and applications...

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. The w...

The aim of this paper is to obtain closed formulas for the perfect domination number, Roman number and lexicographic product graphs. We show that these can be obtained relatively easily case first two parameters. picture quite different when it concerns number. In case, we general bounds then give sufficient and/or necessary conditions achieved. also discuss graphs characterize where equals

A total dominating set of a graph G is a set D of vertices of G such that every vertex of G has a neighbor in D. A vertex of a graph is said to dominate itself and all of its neighbors. A double dominating set of a graph G is a set D of vertices of G such that every vertex of G is dominated by at least two vertices of D. The total (double, respectively) domination number of a graph G is the min...

Define a Roman dominating function (RDF) of a graph G to be a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} such that every u with f(u) = 0 has a neighbor v with f(v) = 2. The weight of f , w(f), is ∑ v∈V (G) f(v). The Roman domination number of G, γR(G), is the minimum weight of an RDF of G. It is easy to see that γ(G) ≤ γR(G) ≤ 2γ(G), where γ(G) is the domination number of G. In this paper, we determine pro...
