Let $D$ be a finite and simple digraph with vertex set $V(D)$‎.‎A signed total Roman $k$-dominating function (STR$k$DF) on‎‎$D$ is a function $f:V(D)rightarrow{-1‎, ‎1‎, ‎2}$ satisfying the conditions‎‎that (i) $sum_{xin N^{-}(v)}f(x)ge k$ for each‎‎$vin V(D)$‎, ‎where $N^{-}(v)$ consists of all vertices of $D$ from‎‎which arcs go into $v$‎, ‎and (ii) every vertex $u$ for which‎‎$f(u)=-1$ has a...

a {em 2-rainbow dominating function} (2rdf) of a graph $g$ is a function $f$ from the vertex set $v(g)$ to the set of all subsets of the set ${1,2}$ such that for any vertex $vin v(g)$ with $f(v)=emptyset$ the condition $bigcup_{uin n(v)}f(u)={1,2}$ is fulfilled, where $n(v)$ is the open neighborhood of $v$. the {em weight} of a 2rdf $f$ is the value $omega(f)=sum_{vin v}|f (v)|$. the {em $2$-r...

Top-k dominating queries combine the advantages of top-k queries and skyline queries, and eliminate their disadvantages. They return k objects with the highest domination score, which is defined as the number of dominated objects. As a top-k query, the user can bound the number of returned results through the parameter k, and like a skyline query a user-selected scoring function is not required...

For any integer k ≥ 1, a signed (total) k-dominating function is a function f : V (G) → {−1, 1} satisfying w∈N [v] f(w) ≥ k ( P w∈N(v) f(w) ≥ k) for every v ∈ V (G), where N(v) = {u ∈ V (G)|uv ∈ E(G)} and N [v] = N(v)∪{v}. The minimum of the values ofv∈V (G) f(v), taken over all signed (total) k-dominating functions f, is called the signed (total) k-domination number and is denoted by γkS(G) (γ...

Let G be a simple graph without isolated vertices with vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G) and let k be a positive integer. A function f : E(G) −→ {−1, 1} is said to be a signed star k-dominating function on G if ∑ e∈E(v) f(e) ≥ k for every vertex v of G, where E(v) = {uv ∈ E(G) | u ∈ N(v)}. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of signed star k-dominating functions on G with the property that ∑d i=1 fi(e)...

Let G be a simple graph without isolated vertices with vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G) and let k be a positive integer. A function f : E(G) −→ {±1,±2, . . . ,±k} is said to be a signed star {k}-dominating function on G if ∑ e∈E(v) f(e) ≥ k for every vertex v of G, where E(v) = {uv ∈ E(G) | u ∈ N(v)}. The signed star {k}-domination number of a graph G is γ{k}SS(G) = min{ ∑ e∈E f(e) | f is a S...

Let G = (V,E) be a simple and undirected graph. For some integer k > 1, a set D ⊆ V is said to be a k-dominating set in G if every vertex v of G outside D has at least k neighbors in D. Furthermore, for some real number α with 0 < α 6 1, a set D ⊆ V is called an α-dominating set in G if every vertex v of G outside D has at least α×dv neighbors in D, where dv is the degree of v in G. The cardina...

Let S be a dataset of n 2-dimensional points. The top-k dominating query aims to report the k points that dominate the most points in S . A point p dominates a point q iff all coordinates of p are smaller than or equal to those of q and at least one of them is strictly smaller. The top-k dominating query combines the dominance concept of maxima queries with the ranking function of top-k queries...
