We consider two infinite games, played on a countable graph G given with an integer vertex labelling. One player seeks to construct a ray (a one-way infinite path) in G, so that the ray’s labels dominate or elude domination by an integer sequence being constructed by another player. For each game, we give a structural characterization of the graphs on which one player or the other can win, prov...

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$. For any integer $kge 1$, a signed (total) $k$-dominating functionis a function $f: V(G) rightarrow { -1, 1}$ satisfying $sum_{xin N[v]}f(x)ge k$ ($sum_{xin N(v)}f(x)ge k$)for every $vin V(G)$, where $N(v)$ is the neighborhood of $v$ and $N[v]=N(v)cup{v}$. The minimum of the values$sum_{vin V(G)}f(v)$, taken over all signed (total) $k$-dominating functi...

For an integer n ≥ 2, let I ⊂ {0, 1, 2, · · · , n}. A Smarandachely Roman sdominating function for an integer s, 2 ≤ s ≤ n on a graph G = (V,E) is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2, · · · , n} satisfying the condition that |f(u)− f(v)| ≥ s for each edge uv ∈ E with f(u) or f(v) ∈ I . Similarly, a Smarandachely Roman edge s-dominating function for an integer s, 2 ≤ s ≤ n on a graph G = (V,E) is a func...

Let G = (V,E) be a simple graph. For any real function g : V −→ R and a subset S ⊆ V , we write g(S) = ∑ v∈S g(v). A function f : V −→ [0, 1] is said to be a fractional dominating function (FDF ) of G if f(N [v]) ≥ 1 holds for every vertex v ∈ V (G). The fractional domination number γf (G) of G is defined as γf (G) = min{f(V )|f is an FDF of G }. The fractional total dominating function f is de...

Analysis of duck hepatitis B viral DNA by gel electrophoresis, Southern blotting, and binding to benzoylated naphthoylated DEAE-cellulose showed that a protein is bound to the minus-strand virion DNA as well as to the full-length single strand, minus-strand species, and minus-strand DNA intermediates isolated from replicating complexes present in infected duck liver. By utilizing a modified did...

Let D be a finite and simple digraph with vertex set V (D), and let f : V (D) → {−1, 1} be a two-valued function. If k ≥ 1 is an integer and ∑ x∈N−[v] f(x) ≥ k for each v ∈ V (D), where N−[v] consists of v and all vertices of D from which arcs go into v, then f is a signed k-dominating function on D. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of distinct signed k-dominating functions of D with the property tha...

A signed Roman dominating function (SRDF) on a graph G is a function f : V (G) → {−1, 1, 2} such that u∈N [v] f(u) ≥ 1 for every v ∈ V (G), and every vertex u ∈ V (G) for which f(u) = −1 is adjacent to at least one vertex w for which f(w) = 2. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of distinct signed Roman dominating functions on G with the property that ∑d i=1 fi(v) ≤ 1 for each v ∈ V (G), is called a sig...

For a positive integer k, a k-rainbow dominating function of a digraph D is a function f from the vertex set V (D) to the set of all subsets of the set {1, 2, . . . , k} such that for any vertex v ∈ V (D) with f(v) = ∅ the condition u∈N−(v) f(u) = {1, 2, . . . , k} is fulfilled, where N−(v) is the set of in-neighbors of v. A set {f1, f2, . . . , fd} of k-rainbow dominating functions on D with t...
