Roman dominating function} on a digraph $D$ with vertex set $V(D)$ is a labeling$fcolon V(D)to {0, 1, 2}$such that every vertex with label $0$ has an in-neighbor with label $2$. A set ${f_1,f_2,ldots,f_d}$ ofRoman dominating functions on $D$ with the property that $sum_{i=1}^d f_i(v)le 2$ for each $vin V(D)$,is called a {em Roman dominating family} (of functions) on $D$....

A {em weak signed Roman dominating function} (WSRDF) of a graph $G$ with vertex set $V(G)$ is defined as afunction $f:V(G)rightarrow{-1,1,2}$ having the property that $sum_{xin N[v]}f(x)ge 1$ for each $vin V(G)$, where $N[v]$ is theclosed neighborhood of $v$. The weight of a WSRDF is the sum of its function values over all vertices.The weak signed Roman domination number of $G...

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...

In a graph G, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors. A subset S ⊆ V (G) is a 2-dominating set of G if S dominates every vertex of V (G) \ S at least twice. The 2-domination number γ2(G) is the minimum cardinality of a 2-dominating set of G. The 2-domination subdivision number sdγ2(G) is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (each edge in G can be subdivided at most once) in ...

The domination multisubdivision number of a nonempty graph G was defined in [3] as the minimum positive integer k such that there exists an edge which must be subdivided k times to increase the domination number of G. Similarly we define the total domination multisubdivision number msdγt(G) of a graph G and we show that for any connected graph G of order at least two, msdγt(G) ≤ 3. We show that...

A subset S ⊆ V (G) is a double dominating set of G if S dominates every vertex of G at least twice. The double domination number dd(G) is the minimum cardinality of a double dominating set of G. The double domination subdivision number sddd(G) is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (where each edge in G can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the double domination n...
