Domination is a relation between general operations defined on a poset. The old open problem is whether domination is transitive on the set of all t-norms. In this paper we contribute partially by inspection of domination in the family of Frank and Hamacher tnorms. We show that between two different t-norms from the same family, the domination occurs iff at least one of the t-norms involved is ...

The open neighborhood of a vertex $v$ of a graph $G$ is the set $N(v)$ consisting of all vertices adjacent to $v$ in $G$. For $Dsubseteq V(G)$, we define $overline{D}=V(G)setminus D$. A set $Dsubseteq V(G)$ is called a super dominating set of $G$ if for every vertex $uin overline{D}$, there exists $vin D$ such that $N(v)cap overline{D}={u}$. The super domination number of $G$ is the minimum car...

‎A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph G=(V,E) is a function  f : V → {0, 1, 2}  such that every vertex u for which f(u)=0 is‎ ‎adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f(v)=2‎. ‎An RDF f is called‎‎an outer independent Roman dominating function (OIRDF) if the set of‎‎vertices assigned a 0 under f is an independent set‎. ‎The weight of an‎‎OIRDF is the sum of its function values over ...

Let γt(G) and γ2(G) be the total domination number and the 2domination number of a graph G, respectively. It has been shown that: γt(T ) ≤ γ2(T ) for any tree T . In this paper, we provide a constructive characterization of those trees with equal total domination number and 2-domination number.

A rainbow colouring of a connected graph G is a colouring of the edges of G such that every pair of vertices in G is connected by at least one path in which no two edges are coloured the same. The minimum number of colours required to rainbow colour G is called its rainbow connection number. Chakraborty, Fischer, Matsliah and Yuster have shown that it is NP-hard to compute the rainbow connectio...

A graph G is 2-stratified if its vertex set is partitioned into two classes (each of which is a stratum or a color class), where the vertices in one class are colored red and those in the other class are colored blue. Let F be a 2-stratified graph rooted at some blue vertex v. An F -coloring of a graph is a red-blue coloring of the vertices of G in which every blue vertex v belongs to a copy of...

A k-dominating set is a set D k V such that every vertex i 2 V nD k has at least k i neighbours in D k. The k-domination number k (G) of G is the cardinality of a smallest k-dominating set of G. For k 1 = ::: = k n = 1, k-domination corresponds to the usual concept of domination. Our approach yields an improvement of an upper bound for the domination number found then the conception of k-domina...

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph G = (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 f is w(f) = ∑ v∈V f(v). The Roman domination number is the minimum weight of an RDF in G. It is known that for every graph G, the Roman domination number of G is bounded above...

A Roman domination function on a graph G = (V,E) is a function f : V (G) → {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. The weight of a Roman domination function f 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...
