A signed dominating function of a graph G with vertex set V is a function f : V → {−1, 1} such that for every vertex v in V the sum of the values of f at v and at every vertex u adjacent to v is at least 1. The weight of f is the sum of the values of f at every vertex of V . The signed domination number of G is the minimum weight of a signed dominating function of G. In this paper, we study the...

Let $kgeq 1$ be an integer, and let $G$ be a graph. A {it$k$-rainbow dominating function} (or a {it $k$-RDF}) of $G$ is afunction $f$ from the vertex set $V(G)$ to the family of all subsetsof ${1,2,ldots ,k}$ such that for every $vin V(G)$ with$f(v)=emptyset $, the condition $bigcup_{uinN_{G}(v)}f(u)={1,2,ldots,k}$ is fulfilled, where $N_{G}(v)$ isthe open neighborhood of $v$. The {it weight} o...

The open neighborhood NG(e) of an edge e in a graph G is the set consisting of all edges having a common end-vertex with e and its closed neighborhood is NG[e] = NG(e) ∪ {e}. Let f be a function on E(G), the edge set of G, into the set {−1, 1}. If ∑x∈NG[e] f(x) ≥ 1 for at least a half of the edges e ∈ E(G), then f is called a signed edge majority dominating function of G. The minimum of the val...

A nonnegative signed dominating function (NNSDF) of a graph G is a function f from the vertex set V (G) to the set {−1, 1} such that ∑ u∈N [v] f(u) ≥ 0 for every vertex v ∈ V (G). The nonnegative signed domination number of G, denoted by γ s (G), is the minimum weight of a nonnegative signed dominating function on G. In this paper, we establish some sharp lower bounds on the nonnegative signed ...

Let G = (V, E) be a graph. A function f : V → {−1,+1} defined on the vertices of G is a signed total dominating function if the sum of its function values over any open neighborhood is at least one. The signed total domination number of G, γ t (G), is the minimum weight of a signed total dominating function of G. In this paper, we study the signed total domination number of generalized Petersen...

Abstract. Let G = (V,E) be a simple graph. A function f : V → {−1, 1} is called an inverse signed total dominating function if the sum of its function values over any open neighborhood is at most zero. The inverse signed total domination number of G, denoted by γ0 st(G), equals to the maximum weight of an inverse signed total dominating function of G. In this paper, we establish upper bounds on...

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite and simple graph of order $n$ maximumdegree $\Delta$. A signed strong total Roman dominating function ona $G$ is $f:V(G)\rightarrow\{-1, 1,2,\ldots, \lceil\frac{\Delta}{2}\rceil+1\}$ satisfying the condition that (i) forevery vertex $v$ $G$, $f(N(v))=\sum_{u\in N(v)}f(u)\geq 1$, where$N(v)$ open neighborhood (ii) every forwhich $f(v)=-1$ adjacent to at least one vertex...
