The letter states that in Norway grew a plant, Chamaemorus Norvegicus, whose berries had curative abilities agai...

A Roman domination function on a graph G is a function r : V (G) → {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 a Roman function is the value r(V (G)) = ∑ u∈V (G) r(u). The Roman domination number γR(G) of G is the minimum weight of a Roman domination function on G . "Roman Criticality" has been ...
