Let G be a graph with the vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G). A function f : E(G) → {−1,+1} is said to be a signed star dominating function ofG if ∑ e∈EG(v) f(e) ≥ 1, for every v ∈ V (G), where EG(v) = {uv ∈ E(G) |u ∈ V (G)}. The minimum of the values of ∑ e∈E(G) f(e), taken over all signed star dominating functions f on G is called the signed star domination number of G and is denoted by γss(G...

a function $f:v(g)rightarrow {-1,0,1}$ is a {em minusdominating function} if for every vertex $vin v(g)$, $sum_{uinn[v]}f(u)ge 1$. a minus dominating function $f$ of $g$ is calleda {em global minus dominating function} if $f$ is also a minusdominating function of the complement $overline{g}$ of $g$. the{em global minus domination number} $gamma_{g}^-(g)$ of $g$ isdefined as $gamma_{g}^-(g)=min{...

Given a graph G together with a capacity function c : V (G) → N, we call S ⊆ V (G) a capacitated dominating set if there exists a mapping f : (V (G) \ S) → S which maps every vertex in (V (G) \S) to one of its neighbors such that the total number of vertices mapped by f to any vertex v ∈ S does not exceed c(v). In the Planar Capacitated Dominating Set problem we are given a planar graph G, a ca...

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...

The open neighborhood NG(e) of an edge e in a graph G is the set consisting of all edges having a common end-vertex with e and its closed neighborhood is NG[e] = NG(e) ∪ {e}. Let f be a function on E(G), the edge set of G, into the set {−1, 1}. If ∑x∈NG[e] f(x) ≥ 1 for at least a half of the edges e ∈ E(G), then f is called a signed edge majority dominating function of G. The minimum of the val...

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graphG = (V,E) is a function f : V −→ {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 an RDF is the value f(V (G)) = ∑ u∈V (G) f(u). An RDF f in a graph G is independent if no two vertices assigned positive values are adjacent. The Roman domination number γR(G)...

Given a positive integer k, a k-dominating set in a graph G is a set of vertices such that every vertex not in the set has at least k neighbors in the set. A total k-dominating set, also known as a k-tuple total dominating set, is a set of vertices such that every vertex of the graph has at least k neighbors in the set. The problems of finding the minimum size of a k-dominating, resp. total k-d...
