A graph with no isolated vertices is edge critical with respect to total restrained domination if for any non-edge e of G, the total restrained domination number of G+ e is less than the total restrained domination number of G. We call these graphs γtr-edge critical. In this paper, we characterize all γtr-edge critical unicyclic graphs.

A {em Roman dominating function} on a graph $G$ is a function $f:V(G)rightarrow {0,1,2}$ satisfying the condition that every vertex $u$ for which $f(u)=0$ is adjacent to at least one vertex $v$ for which $f(v)=2$. A {em total Roman dominating function} is a Roman dominating function with the additional property that the subgraph of $G$ induced by the set of all vertices of positive weight has n...

A Roman dominating function of a graph G = (V,E) is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex x with f(x) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex y with f(y) = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is defined to be f(V ) = P x∈V f(x), and the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on a graph G is called the Roman domination number of G. In this paper we answer an open pro...

The paired bondage number (total restrained bondage number, independent bondage number, k-rainbow bondage number) of a graph G, is the minimum number of edges whose removal from G results in a graph with larger paired domination number (respectively, total restrained domination number, independent domination number, k-rainbow domination number). In this paper we show that the decision problems ...

A subset S of vertices of a graph G with no isolated vertex is a total restrained dominating set if every vertex is adjacent to a vertex in S and every vertex in V (G) − S is also adjacent to a vertex in V (G) − S. The total restrained domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a total restrained dominating set of G. In this paper we initiate the study of total restrained bondage in g...

For a graph G = (V, E), a set S ⊆ V (G) is a total dominating set if it is dominating and both 〈S〉 has no isolated vertices. The cardinality of a minimum total dominating set in G is the total domination number. A set S ⊆ V (G) is a total restrained dominating set if it is total dominating and 〈V (G) − S〉 has no isolated vertices. The cardinality of a minimum total restrained dominating set in ...

A Roman dominating function on a graph G is a function f : 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 dominating function is the value f(V (G)) = ∑ u∈V (G) f(u). The Roman domination number of G, γR(G), is the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on G. In this paper, we...

Roman domination is a historically inspired variety of general domination such that every vertex is labeled with labels from {0, 1, 2}. Roman domination number is the smallest of the sums of labels fulfilling condition that every vertex, labeled 0, has a neighbor, labeled 2. Using algebraic approach we give O(C) time algorithm for computing Roman domination number of special classes of polygrap...
