A Roman dominating function of a graph G = (V,E) is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex x with f(x) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex y with f(y) = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is defined to be f(V ) = P x∈V f(x), and the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on a graph G is called the Roman domination number of G. In this paper we answer an open pro...

For a nonempty graph G = (V, E), a signed edge-domination of G is a function f : E(G) → {1,−1} such that ∑e′∈NG [e] f (e′) ≥ 1 for each e ∈ E(G). The signed edge-domatic number of G is the largest integer d for which there is a set { f1, f2, . . . , fd} of signed edge-dominations of G such that ∑d i=1 fi (e) ≤ 1 for every e ∈ E(G). This paper gives an original study on this concept and determin...

Let k ≥ 1 be an integer, and let D = (V, A) be a finite and simple digraph in which dD(v) ≥ k for all v ∈ V . A function f : V −→ {−1, 1} is called a signed total k-dominating function (STkDF) if f(N−(v)) ≥ k for each vertex v ∈ V . The weight w(f) of f is defined by w(f) = ∑ v∈V f(v). The signed total k-domination number for a digraph D is γ kS(D) = min{w(f) | f is a STkDF of D}. In this paper...

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

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. For a given graph,...

for any $k in mathbb{n}$, the $k$-subdivision of graph $g$ is a simple graph $g^{frac{1}{k}}$, which is constructed by replacing each edge of $g$ with a path of length $k$. in [moharram n. iradmusa, on colorings of graph fractional powers, discrete math., (310) 2010, no. 10-11, 1551-1556] the $m$th power of the $n$-subdivision of $g$ has been introduced as a fractional power of $g$, denoted by ...
