A function f : V (G) → {−1, 0, 1} is a minus dominating function if for every vertex v ∈ V (G), ∑ u∈N [v] f(u) ≥ 1. A minus dominating function f of G is called a global minus dominating function if f is also a minus dominating function of the complement G of G.

A three-valued function f defined on the vertices of a graph G = ( V, E), f : V 4 {-I. 0.

A two-valued function f defined on the vertices of a graph G = (V,E), f : V → {−1, 1}, is a signed total dominating function if the sum of its function values over any open neighborhood is at least one.

A function f : V (G) → {+1,−1} defined on the vertices of a graph G is a signed dominating function if for any vertex v the sum of function values over its closed neighborhood is at least 1. The signed domination number γs(G) of G is the minimum weight of a signed dominating function on G. By simply changing “{+1,−1}” in the above definition to “{+1, 0,−1}”, we can define the minus dominating f...
