A Roman dominating function (RD-function) on a graph G = ( V , E ) is f : → {0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that every vertex u for which 0 adjacent to at least one v 2. An in perfect (PRD-function) if with exactly The (perfect) domination number γ R p )) minimum weight of an . We say strongly equals ), denoted by ≡ γR RD-function PRD-function.

We study, for a countably categorical theory T, the complexity of computing and the complexity of dominating the function specifying the number of n-types consistent with T.

In this note, we provide a sharp upper bound on the rainbow connection number of tournaments of diameter 2. For a tournament T of diameter 2, we show 2 ≤ − →rc(T ) ≤ 3. Furthermore, we provide a general upper bound on the rainbow k-connection number of tournaments as a simple example of the probabilistic method. Finally, we show that an edge-colored tournament of kth diameter 2 has rainbow k-co...

Let G be a graph with vertex set V ( ). A total Italian dominating function (TIDF) on is f : ) → {0, 1, 2} such that (i) every v = 0 adjacent to u 2 or two vertices w and z (ii) ≥ 1 1. The domination number γ tI the minimum weight of function. In this paper, we present Nordhaus–Gaddum type inequalities for number.

Let G = (V,E) be a simple and undirected graph. For some integer k > 1, a set D ⊆ V is said to be a k-dominating set in G if every vertex v of G outside D has at least k neighbors in D. Furthermore, for some real number α with 0 < α 6 1, a set D ⊆ V is called an α-dominating set in G if every vertex v of G outside D has at least α×dv neighbors in D, where dv is the degree of v in G. The cardina...

Let G = (V (G), E(G)) be a nontrivial connected graph of order n with an edge-coloring c : E(G) → {1, 2, . . . , q}, q ∈ N, where adjacent edges may be colored the same. A tree T in G is a rainbow tree if no two edges of T receive the same color. For a vertex set S ⊆ V (G), a tree connecting S in G is called an S-tree. The minimum number of colors that are needed in an edge-coloring of G such t...

A problem open for many years is whether there is an FPT algorithm that given a graph G and parameter k, either: (1) determines that G has no k-Dominating Set, or (2) produces a dominating set of size at most g(k), where g(k) is some fixed function of k. Such an outcome is termed an FPT approximation algorithm. We describe some results that begin to provide some answers. We show that there is n...

An edge-colored graph G is rainbow connected, if any two vertices are connected by a path whose edges have distinct colors. The rainbow connection number of a connected graph G, denoted rc(G), is the smallest number of colors that are needed in order to make G rainbow connected. In this paper we show that rc(G) ≤ 3 if |E(G)| ≥ ( n−2 2 ) + 2, and rc(G) ≤ 4 if |E(G)| ≥ ( n−3 2 ) + 3. These bounds...
