Lower bounds on the signed (total) $k$-domination number

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$. For any integer $kge 1$, a signed (total) $k$-dominating functionis a function $f: V(G) rightarrow { -1, 1}$ satisfying $sum_{xin N[v]}f(x)ge k$ ($sum_{xin N(v)}f(x)ge k$)for every $vin V(G)$, where $N(v)$ is the neighborhood of $v$ and $N[v]=N(v)cup{v}$. The minimum of the values$sum_{vin V(G)}f(v)$, taken over all signed (total) $k$-dominating functions $f$, is called the signed (total)$k$-domination number. The clique number of a graph $G$ is the maximum cardinality of a complete subgraph of $G$.In this note we present some new sharp lower bounds on the signed (total) $k$-domination numberdepending on the clique number of the graph. Our results improve some known bounds.
