For a graph G, a signed domination function of G is a two-colouring of the vertices of G with colours +1 and –1 such that the closed neighbourhood of every vertex contains more +1’s than –1’s. This concept is closely related to combinatorial discrepancy theory as shown by Füredi and Mubayi [J. Combin. Theory, Ser. B 76 (1999) 223–239]. The signed domination number of G is the minimum of the sum...

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 ...

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 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 ) = ∑ u∈V f(u). The minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on a graph G is called the Roman domination number of G. In this pape...

In this paper we determine the exact values of the signed domination number, signed total domination number, and minus domination number of complete multipartite graphs, which substantially generalizes some previous results obtained for special subclasses of complete multipartite graphs such as cliques and complete bipartite graphs.

A double Roman dominating function on a graph $G$ with vertex set $V(G)$ is defined in cite{bhh} as a function$f:V(G)rightarrow{0,1,2,3}$ having the property that if $f(v)=0$, then the vertex $v$ must have at least twoneighbors assigned 2 under $f$ or one neighbor $w$ with $f(w)=3$, and if $f(v)=1$, then the vertex $v$ must haveat least one neighbor $u$ with $f(u)ge 2$. The weight of a double R...

The signed edge domination number of a graph is an edge variant of the signed domination number. The closed neighbourhood NG[e] of an edge e in a graph G is the set consisting of e and of all edges having a common end vertex with e. Let f be a mapping of the edge set E(G) of G into the set {−1, 1}. If ∑ x∈N [e] f(x) 1 for each e ∈ E(G), then f is called a signed edge dominating function on G. T...

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...

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...
