Limited dominating broadcasts were proposed as a variant of dominating broadcasts, where the broadcast function is upper bounded. As a natural extension of domination, we consider dominating 2-broadcasts along with the associated parameter, the dominating 2-broadcast number. We prove that computing the dominating 2-broadcast number is a NP-complete problem, but can be achieved in linear time fo...

A Roman dominating function on a graph G is a function f : 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 dominating function is the value f(V (G)) = ∑ u∈V (G) f(u). The Roman domination number γR(G) of G is the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on G. In this paper, we s...

For an integer n ≥ 2, let I ⊂ {0, 1, 2, · · · , n}. A Smarandachely Roman sdominating function for an integer s, 2 ≤ s ≤ n on a graph G = (V,E) is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2, · · · , n} satisfying the condition that |f(u)− f(v)| ≥ s for each edge uv ∈ E with f(u) or f(v) ∈ I . Similarly, a Smarandachely Roman edge s-dominating function for an integer s, 2 ≤ s ≤ n on a graph G = (V,E) is a func...

In the early years of set theory, Du Bois Reymond introduced a vague notion of infinitary pantachie meant to symbolize an infinity bigger than the infinity of real numbers. Hausdorff reformulated this concept rigorously as a maximal chain (a linearly ordered subset) in a partially ordered set of certain type, for instance, the set N N under eventual domination. Hausdorff proved the existence of...

As we know, this inequality is very important in Hp-theory, it is also a main difficulty in generalizing Hp-theory of one parameter to Hp -theory of several parameters, see [2, 6, 7, 8]. The first proof of (1) is probabilistic which was given by Burkholder, Gundy and Silverstein, see [1]; Fefferman and Stein first got an analytic proof of (1) by dealing with a kind of Green’s formula on R = ∪x∈...

In this paper we present an algorithm with O(n log2n) complexity to find a shortest maximal increasing subsequence of a sequence of numbers. As a byproduct of this algorithm a O(n log2n) algorithm to find a minimum (weight) independent dominating set in permutation graphs is obtained, this compares favorable with the previous O(n3) algorithms known to solve

In this paper, we consider graphs having a unique minimum independent dominating set. We first discuss the effects of deleting a vertex, or the closed neighborhood of a vertex, from such graphs. We then discuss five operations which, in certain circumstances, can be used to combine two graphs, each having a unique minimum independent dominating set, to produce a new graph also having a unique m...

Let $G$ be a simple graph with vertex set $V$. A double Roman dominating function (DRDF) on $G$ is a function $f:Vrightarrow{0,1,2,3}$ satisfying that if $f(v)=0$, then the vertex $v$ must be adjacent to at least two vertices assigned $2$ or one vertex assigned $3$ under $f$, whereas if $f(v)=1$, then the vertex $v$ must be adjacent to at least one vertex assigned $2$ or $3$. The weight of a DR...

We review a characterization of domination perfect graphs in terms of forbidden induced subgraphs obtained by Zverovich and Zverovich [12] using a computer code. Then we apply it to a problem of unique domination in graphs recently proposed by Fischermann and Volkmann. 1 Domination perfect graphs Let G be a graph. A set D ⊆ V (G) is a dominating set of G if each vertex of G either belongs to D ...

A path in an edge-colored graph is called a rainbow path if the edges on it have distinct colors. For k ≥ 1, the rainbow-k-connectivity of a graph G, denoted rck(G), is the minimum number of colors required to color the edges of G in such a way that every two distinct vertices are connected by at least k internally vertex-disjoint rainbow paths. In this paper, we study rainbow-k-connectivity in...
