The complementary prism GG of a graph G is formed from the disjoint union of G and its complement G by adding the edges of a perfect matching between the corresponding vertices of G and G. A Roman dominating function on a graph G = (V,E) is a labeling f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex with label 0 is adjacent to a vertex with label 2. The Roman domination number γR(G) ofG is the mini...

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 γR(G) of G is the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on G. In this paper, we s...

We investigate a domination-like problem from the exact exponential algorithms viewpoint. The classical Dominating Set problem ranges among one of the most famous and studied NP -complete covering problems [6]. In particular, the trivial enumeration algorithm of runtime O∗(2n) 4 has been improved to O∗(1.4864n) in polynomial space, and O∗(1.4689n) with exponential space [9]. Many variants of th...

We analyze the graph-theoretic formalization of Roman domination, dating back to the military strategy of Emperor Constantine, from a parameterized perspective. More specifically, we prove that this problem is W[2]-complete for general graphs. However, parameterized algorithms are presented for graphs of bounded treewidth and for planar graphs. Moreover, it is shown that a parametric dual of Ro...

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph G is a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that every vertex v for which f(v) = 0, is adjacent to at least one vertex u for which f(u) = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function f is the value f(V (G)) = ∑ v∈V (G) f(v). The Roman domination number of G, denoted by γR(G), is the minimum weight of an RDF on G. The Roman reinforc...

A Roman dominating function on a graph G = (V, E) is a function f : V → {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 ) = ∑ u∈V f(u). The minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on a graph G is called the Roman domination number of G. In this pape...

‎Let G be a graph‎. ‎A 2-rainbow dominating function (or‎ 2-RDF) of G is a function f from V(G)‎ ‎to the set of all subsets of the set {1,2}‎ ‎such that for a vertex v ∈ V (G) with f(v) = ∅, ‎the‎‎condition $bigcup_{uin N_{G}(v)}f(u)={1,2}$ is fulfilled‎, wher NG(v)  is the open neighborhood‎‎of v‎. ‎The weight of 2-RDF f of G is the value‎‎$omega (f):=sum _{vin V(G)}|f(v)|$‎. ‎The 2-rainbow‎‎d...

A Roman dominating function on a graph G = (V,E) is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that every vertex u with f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v with f(v) = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is the value f(G) = ∑ u∈V f(u). The Roman domination number of G is the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on G.
