We generalize the concept of efficient total domination from graphs to digraphs. An efficiently total dominating set X of a digraph D is a vertex subset such that every vertex of D has exactly one predecessor in X . We study graphs that permit an orientation having such a set and give complexity results and characterizations concerning this question. Furthermore, we study the computational comp...

A three-valued function f defined on the vertices of a graph G = (V,E), f : V , ( 1 , 0 , 1), is a minus dominating function if the sum of its function values over any closed neighborhood is at least one. That is, for every v E V, f(N[v])>~ 1, where N[v] consists of v and every vertex adjacent to v. The weight of a minus dominating function is f ( V ) = ~ f (v) , over all vertices v E V. The mi...

Let $D$ be a finite and simple digraph with vertex set $V(D)$. A weak signed Roman dominating function (WSRDF) on is $f:V(D)\rightarrow\{-1,1,2\}$ satisfying the condition that $\sum_{x\in N^-[v]}f(x)\ge 1$ for each $v\in V(D)$, where $N^-[v]$ consists of $v$ allvertices from which arcs go into $v$. The weight WSRDF $f$ $\sum_{v\in V(D)}f(v)$. domination number $\gamma_{wsR}(D)$ minimum $D$. In...

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a digraph $D$ is a function $f: V(D)rightarrow {0,1,2}$ satisfying the condition that every vertex $v$ with $f(v)=0$ has an in-neighbor $u$ with $f(u)=2$. The weight of an RDF $f$ is the value $sum_{vin V(D)}f(v)$. The Roman domination number of a digraph $D$ is the minimum weight of an RDF on $D$. A set ${f_1,f_2,dots,f_d}$ of Roman dominating functions on ...

Let Γ−t (G) be upper minus total domination number of G. In this paper, We establish an upper bound of the upper minus total domination number of a 6-regular graph G and characterize the extremal graphs attaining the bound. Thus, we partially answer an open problem by Yan, Yang and Shan. AMS Subject Classification: 05C69

A function f : V (G) → {+1,−1} defined on the vertices of a graph G is a signed dominating function if for any vertex v the sum of function values over its closed neighborhood is at least 1. The signed domination number γs(G) of G is the minimum weight of a signed dominating function on G. By simply changing “{+1,−1}” in the above definition to “{+1, 0,−1}”, we can define the minus dominating f...
