A signed k-partite graph (signed multipartite graph) is a k-partite graph in which each edge is assigned a positive or a negative sign. If G(V1, V2, · · · , Vk) is a signed k-partite graph with Vi = {vi1, vi2, · · · , vini}, 1 ≤ i ≤ k, the signed degree of vij is sdeg(vij) = dij = d + ij − d − ij , where 1 ≤ i ≤ k, 1 ≤ j ≤ ni and d + ij(d − ij) is the number of positive (negative) edges inciden...

A total Roman dominating function on a graph $G$ is a function $f: V(G) rightarrow {0,1,2}$ such that for every vertex $vin V(G)$ with $f(v)=0$ there exists a vertex $uin V(G)$ adjacent to $v$ with $f(u)=2$, and the subgraph induced by the set ${xin V(G): f(x)geq 1}$ has no isolated vertices. The total Roman domination number of $G$, denoted $gamma_{tR}(G)$, is the minimum weight $omega(f)=sum_...

A double Roman dominating function of a graph $G$ is $f:V(G)\rightarrow \{0,1,2,3\}$ having the property that for each vertex $v$ with $f(v)=0$, there exists $u\in N(v)$ $f(u)=3$, or are $u,w\in $f(u)=f(w)=2$, and if $f(v)=1$, then adjacent to assigned at least $2$ under $f$. The domination number $\gamma_{dR}(G)$ minimum weight $f(V(G))=\sum_{v\in V(G)}f(v)$ among all functions $G$. An outer i...

Let G be a simple graph without isolated vertices with vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G) and let k be a positive integer. A function f : E(G) −→ {−1, 1} is said to be a signed star k-dominating function on G if ∑ e∈E(v) f(e) ≥ k for every vertex v of G, where E(v) = {uv ∈ E(G) | u ∈ N(v)}. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of signed star k-dominating functions on G with the property that ∑d i=1 fi(e)...

A function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} is a Roman dominating function if for every vertex with f(v) = 0, there exists a vertex w ∈ N(v) with f(w) = 2. We introduce two fractional Roman domination parameters, γR ◦ f and γRf , from relaxations of two equivalent integer programming formulations of Roman domination (the former using open neighborhoods and the later using closed neighborhoods in the Roman...
