Abstract By suitably adjusting the tropical algebra technique we compute rainbow independent domination numbers of several infinite families graphs including Cartesian products $$C_n \Box P_m$$ C n ? P m </mm...

In this paper, we are concerned with the krainbow domination problem on generalized de Bruijn digraphs. We give an upper bound and a lower bound for the k-rainbow domination number in generalized de Bruijn digraphs GB(n, d). We also show that γrk(GB(n, d)) = k if and only if α 6 1, where n = d+α and γrk(GB(n, d)) is the k-rainbow domination number of GB(n, d).

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph $G$ is a function $f : V (G) to {0, 1, 2}$satisfying the condition that every vertex $u$ for which $f(u) = 0$ is adjacent to at least onevertex $v$ for which $f(v) = 2$. A Roman dominating function $f$ is called an outer-independentRoman dominating function (OIRDF) on $G$ if the set ${vin Vmid f(v)=0}$ is independent.The (outer-independent) Roman dom...

A 2-outer-independent dominating set of a graph G is a set D of vertices of G such that every vertex of V (G)\D has a at least two neighbors in D, and the set V (G) \D is independent. The 2-outer-independent domination number of a graph G, denoted by γ 2 (G), is the minimum cardinality of a 2-outer-independent dominating set of G. We prove that for every nontrivial tree T of order n with l leav...

Assume we have a set of k colors and to each vertex of a graph G we assign an arbitrary subset of these colors. If we require that each vertex to which an empty set is assigned has in its neighborhood all k colors, then this is called the k-rainbow dominating function of a graph G. The corresponding invariant γrk(G), which is the minimum sum of numbers of assigned colors over all vertices of G,...

For a positive integer k, a k-rainbow dominating function of a graph G is a function f from the vertex set V (G) to the set of all subsets of the set {1, 2, . . . , k} such that for any vertex v ∈ V (G) with f(v) = ∅ the condition ⋃ u∈N(v) f(u) = {1, 2, . . . , k} is fulfilled, where N(v) is the neighborhood of v. The 1-rainbow domination is the same as the ordinary domination. A set {f1, f2, ....
