We prove a new structural property regarding the “skyline” of uniform radius disks and use this to derive a number of new sequential and distributed approximation algorithms for well-known optimization problems on unit disk graphs (UDGs). Specifically, the paper presents new approximation algorithms for two problems: domatic partition and weighted minimum dominating set (WMDS) on UDGs, both of ...

A Roman dominating function of a graph G is a labeling f : V (G) −→ {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex with label 0 has a neighbor with label 2. The Roman domination number γR(G) of G is the minimum of ∑ v∈V (G) f(v) over such functions. The Roman domination subdivision number sdγR(G) is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (each edge in G can be subdivided at most once) in order t...

Let G be a finite and simple graph with vertex set V (G), and let f : V (G) → {−1, 1} be a two-valued function. If ∑ x∈N[v] f (x) ≥ 1 for each v ∈ V (G), where N[v] is the closed neighborhood of v, then f is a signed dominating function on G. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of signed dominating functions on Gwith the property that ∑d i=1 fi(x) ≤ 1 for each x ∈ V (G), is called a signed dominating fa...

LetD = (V,A) be a finite and simple digraph. A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a digraph D is a labeling f : V (D) → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex with label 0 has a in-neighbor with label 2. The weight of an RDF f is the value ω(f) = ∑ v∈V f(v). The Roman domination number of a digraph D, denoted by γR(D), equals the minimum weight of an RDF on D. In this paper we present some sharp boun...

A Roman dominating function on a graph G = (V,E) is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex v ∈ V with f(v) = 0 has at least one neighbor u ∈ V with f(u) = 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, denoted by γR(G). The Roman bondage number...

In this paper we study the signed Roman dominationnumber of the join of graphs. Specially, we determine it for thejoin of cycles, wheels, fans and friendship graphs.

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

A Roman dominating function on a graph G = (V,E) is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that every vertex u with f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v with f(v) = 2.

Instead of studying evolutions governed by an evolutionary system starting at a given initial state on a prescribed future time interval, finite or infinite, we tackle the problem of looking both for a past interval [T − D, T ] of aperture (or length, duration) D and for the viable evolutions arriving at a prescribed terminal state at the end of the temporal window (and thus telescoping if more...
