For a graph G, its k-rainbow independent domination number, written as γrik(G), is defined the cardinality of minimum set consisting k vertex-disjoint sets V1,V2,…,Vk such that every vertex in V0=V(G)\(∪i=1kVi) has neighbor Vi for all i∈{1,2,…,k}. This invariant was proposed by Kraner Šumenjak, Rall and Tepeh (in Applied Mathematics Computation 333(15), 2018: 353–361), which aims to compute num...

For a graph G = (V,E), a subset D ⊆ V (G) is a total dominating set if every vertex of G has a neighbor in D. The total domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set of G. A subset D ⊆ V (G) is a 2-dominating set of G if every vertex of V (G) \ D has at least two neighbors in D, while it is a 2-outer-independent dominating set of G if additionally the set V (G) \ D...

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...

A edge 2-rainbow dominating function (E2RDF) of a graph G is a ‎function f from the edge set E(G) to the set of all subsets‎ ‎of the set {1,2} such that for any edge.......................

For a graph G, let f : V (G) → P({1, 2, . . . , k}) be a function. If for each vertex v ∈ V (G) such that f(v) = ∅ we have ∪u∈N(v)f(u) = {1, 2, . . . , k}, then f is called a k-rainbow dominating function (or simply kRDF) of G. The weight, w(f), of a kRDF f is defined as w(f) = ∑ v∈V (G) |f(v)|. The minimum weight of a kRDF of G is called the k-rainbow domination number of G, and is denoted by ...

The rainbow game domination subdivision number of a graph G is defined by the following game. Two players D and A, D playing first, alternately mark or subdivide an edge of G which is not yet marked nor subdivided. The game ends when all the edges of G are marked or subdivided and results in a new graph G′. The purpose of D is to minimize the 2-rainbow dominating number γr2(G ′) of G′ while A t...

We initiate the study of total outer-independent domination in graphs. A total outer-independent dominating set of a graph G is a set D of vertices of G such that every vertex of G has a neighbor in D, and the set V (G) \ D is independent. The total outer-independent domination number of a graph G is the minimum cardinality of a total outer-independent dominating set of G. First we discuss the ...
