For a graph G = (V,E), a Roman dominating function on G is a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex u for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v with f(v) = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is the value f(V (G)) = ∑ u∈V (G) f(u). The minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on a graph G is called the Roman domination number of G, denoted by γR (G). T...

Earlier research with monolinguals and bilinguals showed that numbers may be named through both a semantic and a phonological route, depending on the number’s language and format (Arabic or verbal), task demands, and naming language. The present study investigated the importance of the semantic route for the processing of a third representation of magnitude, namely Roman digits. Using an interf...

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)) =

Recent articles by ReVelle [20, 21] in the Johns Hopkins Magazines suggested a new variation of domination called Roman domination, see also [22] for an integer programming formulation of the problem. Since then, there have been several articles on Roman domination and its variations [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 24, 23, 25].
