Recent articles by ReVelle [20, 21] in the Johns Hopkins Magazines suggested a new variation of domination called Roman domination, see also [22] for an integer programming formulation of the problem. Since then, there have been several articles on Roman domination and its variations [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 24, 23, 25]. Emperor Constantine had the requirement that an army or leg...

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 (...

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite and simple graph of order $n$ maximumdegree $\Delta$. A signed strong total Roman dominating function ona $G$ is $f:V(G)\rightarrow\{-1, 1,2,\ldots, \lceil\frac{\Delta}{2}\rceil+1\}$ satisfying the condition that (i) forevery vertex $v$ $G$, $f(N(v))=\sum_{u\in N(v)}f(u)\geq 1$, where$N(v)$ open neighborhood (ii) every forwhich $f(v)=-1$ adjacent to at least one vertex...

A double Roman dominating function on a graph G=(V,E) is f:V?{0,1,2,3}, satisfying the condition that every vertex u for which f(u)=1 adjacent to at least one assigned 2 or 3, and with f(u)=0 3 two vertices 2. The weight of f equals sum w(f)=?v?Vf(v). minimum G called domination number ?dR(G) G. We obtain tight bounds in some cases closed expressions generalized Petersen graphs P(ck,k). In shor...

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph $G = (V, E)$ is a labeling $f : V rightarrow {0, 1, 2}$ suchthat every vertex with label $0$ has a neighbor with label $2$. The weight of $f$ is the value $f(V) = Sigma_{vin V} f(v)$The Roman domination number, $gamma_R(G)$, of $G$ is theminimum weight of an RDF on $G$.An RDF of minimum weight is called a $gamma_R$-function.A graph G is said to be $g...

Abstract: Let G=(V,E) be a graph and let f:V(G)→{0,1,2} be a function‎. ‎A vertex v is protected with respect to f‎, ‎if f(v)>0 or f(v)=0 and v is adjacent to a vertex of positive weight‎. ‎The function f is a co-Roman dominating function‎, ‎abbreviated CRDF if‎: ‎(i) every vertex in V is protected‎, ‎and (ii) each u∈V with positive weight has a neighbor v∈V with f(v)=0 such that the func...
