For any $k in mathbb{N}$, the $k$-subdivision of graph $G$ is a simple graph $G^{frac{1}{k}}$, which is constructed by replacing each edge of $G$ with a path of length $k$. In [Moharram N. Iradmusa, On colorings of graph fractional powers, Discrete Math., (310) 2010, No. 10-11, 1551-1556] the $m$th power of the $n$-subdivision of $G$ has been introduced as a fractional power of $G$, denoted by ...

Let Y be a subset of real numbers. A Y dominating function of a graph G = (V, E) is a function f : V → Y such that u∈NG[v] f(u) ≥ 1 for all vertices v ∈ V , where NG[v] = {v} ∪ {u|(u, v) ∈ E}. Let f(S) = u∈S f(u) for any subset S of V and let f(V ) be the weight of f . The Y -domination problem is to find a Y -dominating function of minimum weight for a graph. In this paper, we study the variat...
