‎Let $G$ be a finite and simple graph with vertex set $V(G)$‎. ‎A nonnegative signed total Roman dominating function (NNSTRDF) on a‎ ‎graph $G$ is a function $f:V(G)rightarrow{-1‎, ‎1‎, ‎2}$ satisfying the conditions‎‎that (i) $sum_{xin N(v)}f(x)ge 0$ for each‎ ‎$vin V(G)$‎, ‎where $N(v)$ is the open neighborhood of $v$‎, ‎and (ii) every vertex $u$ for which‎ ‎$f(u...

‎Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph‎. ‎A subset $Ssubset V$ is a hop dominating set‎‎if every vertex outside $S$ is at distance two from a vertex of‎‎$S$‎. ‎A hop dominating set $S$ which induces a connected subgraph‎ ‎is called a connected hop dominating set of $G$‎. ‎The‎‎connected hop domination number of $G$‎, ‎$ gamma_{ch}(G)$,‎‎‎ ‎is the minimum cardinality of a connected hop‎‎dominating set of $G$...

An outer-connected dominating set for an arbitrary graph G is a set D̃ ⊆ V such that D̃ is a dominating set and the induced subgraph G[V \ D̃] be connected. In this paper, we focus on the outerconnected domination number of the product of graphs. We investigate the existence of outer-connected dominating set in lexicographic product and Corona of two arbitrary graphs, and we present upper bounds f...

We provide two algorithms counting the number of minimum Roman dominating functions of a graph on n vertices in (1.5673) n time and polynomial space. We also show that the time complexity can be reduced to (1.5014) n if exponential space is used. Our result is obtained by transforming the Roman domination problem into other combinatorial problems on graphs for which exact algorithms already exist.

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}. The weight of [k]-RDF f ω(f)=∑v∈V(D)f(v). minimum on D the domination number, denoted by γ[kR](D). For k=2 k=3, we call them double Roman number tr...
