We examine the behavior of the first-order rainbow for a coated sphere by using both ray theory and Aden-Kerker wave theory as the radius of the core a(12) and the thickness of the coating δ are varied. As the ratio δ/a(12) increases from 10(-4) to 0.33, we find three classes of rainbow phenomena that cannot occur for a homogeneous-sphere rainbow. For δ/a(12) ≲ 10(-3), the rainbow intensity is ...

‎‎Let $G=(V‎, ‎E)$ be a simple graph with vertex set $V$ and edge set $E$‎. ‎A {em mixed Roman dominating function} (MRDF) of $G$ is a function $f:Vcup Erightarrow {0,1,2}$ satisfying the condition that every element $xin Vcup E$ for which $f(x)=0$ is adjacent‎‎or incident to at least one element $yin Vcup E$ for which $f(y)=2$‎. ‎The weight of an‎‎MRDF $f$ is $sum _{xin Vcup E} f(x)$‎. ‎The mi...

If G = (V, E, σ) is a finite signed graph, a function f : V → {−1, 0, 1} is a minusdominating function (MDF) of G if f(u) +summation over all vertices v∈N(u) of σ(uv)f(v) ≥ 1 for all u ∈ V . In this paper we characterize signed paths and cycles admitting an MDF.

Power domination in graphs emerged from the problem of monitoring an electrical system by placing as few measurement devices in the system as possible. It corresponds to a variant of domination that includes the possibility of propagation. For measurement devices placed on a set S of vertices of a graph G, the set of monitored vertices is initially the set S together with all its neighbors. The...

A Roman dominating function of a graph G = (V,E) is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex x with f(x) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex y with f(y) = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is defined to be f(V ) = P x∈V f(x), and the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on a graph G is called the Roman domination number of G. In this paper we answer an open pro...

Intense swimming causes circulatory lactate accumulation in rainbow trout because lactate disposal (Rd) is not stimulated as strongly as lactate appearance (Ra). This mismatch suggests that maximal Rd is limited by tissue capacity to metabolize lactate. This study uses exogenous lactate to investigate what constrains maximal Rd and minimal Ra. Our goals were to determine how exogenous lactate a...

Let G = (V, E) be a graph. A function f : V → {−1,+1} defined on the vertices of G is a signed total dominating function if the sum of its function values over any open neighborhood is at least one. The signed total domination number of G, γ t (G), is the minimum weight of a signed total dominating function of G. In this paper, we study the signed total domination number of generalized Petersen...
