Let G be a connected graph. A function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2, 3} is double Roman dominating of if for each v ∈ with f(v) = 0, has two adjacent vertices u and w which f(u) f(w) 2 or an vertex 3, to either 3.

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...

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 (...

Abstract. We propose a notion of extended dominating set whereby each node in an ad hoc network is covered by either a dominating neighbor or several 2-hop dominating neighbors. This work is motivated by cooperative communication in ad hoc networks where transmitting independent copies of a packet generates diversity and combats the effects of fading. In this paper we propose several efficient ...

We provide two algorithms counting the number of minimum Roman dominating functions of a graph on n vertices in (1.5673) n time and polynomial space. We also show that the time complexity can be reduced to (1.5014) n if exponential space is used. Our result is obtained by transforming the Roman domination problem into other combinatorial problems on graphs for which exact algorithms already exist.

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(...

In this paper, we describe and compare several distributed greedy algorithms that produce sets of nodes that can be used to form the backbone of an ad hoc wireless network. The backbone produced is always a d-hop dominating, d-hop connected set and has a desirable “shortest path property”. The perfomance of these algorithms for various parameters are compared.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive selfstabilizing algorithm for producing a d-hop connected d-hop dominating set. In the algorithm, the set is cumulatively built with communication requests between the nodes in the network. The set changes as the network topology changes. It contains redundancy nodes and can be used as a backbone of an ad hoc mobile network.
