Domination is a rapidly developing area of research in graph theory, and its various applications to ad hoc networks, distributed computing, social networks and web graphs partly explain the increased interest. This thesis focuses on domination theory, and the main aim of the study is to apply a probabilistic approach to obtain new upper bounds for various domination parameters. Chapters 2 and ...

An {em Italian dominating function} on a digraph $D$ with vertex set $V(D)$ is defined as a function$fcolon V(D)to {0, 1, 2}$ such that every vertex $vin V(D)$ with $f(v)=0$ has at least two in-neighborsassigned 1 under $f$ or one in-neighbor $w$ with $f(w)=2$. A set ${f_1,f_2,ldots,f_d}$ of distinctItalian dominating functions on $D$ with the property that $sum_{i=1}^d f_i(v)le 2$ for each $vi...

A restrained Roman dominating function (RRD-function) on a graph \(G=(V,E)\) is \(f\) from \(V\) into \(\{0,1,2\}\) satisfying: (i) every vertex \(u\) with \(f(u)=0\) adjacent to \(v\) \(f(v)=2\); (ii) the subgraph induced by vertices assigned 0 under has no isolated vertices. The weight of an RRD-function sum its value over whole set vertices, and domination number minimum \(G.\) In this paper...

A weak signed Roman dominating function (WSRDF) on is $f:V(D)\rightarrow\{-1,1,2\}$ satisfying the condition that $\sum_{x\in N^-[v]}f(x)\ge 1$ for each $v\in V(D)$, where $N^-[v]$ consists of $v$ allvertices from which arcs go into $v$. The weight WSRDF $f$ $\sum_{v\in V(D)}f(v)$. domination number $\gamma_{wsR}(D)$ minimum $D$. In...

Let D=(V(D),A(D)) be a finite, simple digraph and k positive integer. A function f:V(D)→{0,1,2,…,k+1} is called [k]-Roman dominating (for short, [k]-RDF) if f(AN−[v])≥|AN−(v)|+k for any vertex v∈V(D), where AN−(v)={u∈N−(v):f(u)≥1} AN−[v]=AN−(v)∪{v}.

A Roman domination function on a graph G is a function r : V (G) → {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 function is the value r(V (G)) = ∑ u∈V (G) r(u). The Roman domination number γR(G) of G is the minimum weight of a Roman domination function on G .
