A set S of vertices in a graph G=(V,E) is a dominating set ofG if every vertex of V-S is adjacent to some vertex of S.For an integer k≥1, a set S of vertices is a k-step dominating set if any vertex of $G$ is at distance k from somevertex of S. In this paper, using membership values of vertices and edges in fuzzy graphs, we introduce the concepts of strength of strongestdominating set as well a...

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...

A total Roman dominating function on a graph $G$ is a function $f: V(G) rightarrow {0,1,2}$ such that for every vertex $vin V(G)$ with $f(v)=0$ there exists a vertex $uin V(G)$ adjacent to $v$ with $f(u)=2$, and the subgraph induced by the set ${xin V(G): f(x)geq 1}$ has no isolated vertices. The total Roman domination number of $G$, denoted $gamma_{tR}(G)$, is the minimum weight $omega(f)=sum_...

for every positive integer k, a set s of vertices in a graph g = (v;e) is a k- tuple dominating set of g if every vertex of v -s is adjacent to at least k vertices and every vertex of s is adjacent to at least k - 1 vertices in s. the minimum cardinality of a k-tuple dominating set of g is the k-tuple domination number of g. when k = 1, a k-tuple domination number is the well-studied domination...

A k-dominating set is a set D k V such that every vertex i 2 V nD k has at least k i neighbours in D k. The k-domination number k (G) of G is the cardinality of a smallest k-dominating set of G. For k 1 = ::: = kn = 1, k-domination corresponds to the usual concept of domination. Our approach yields an improvement of an upper bound for the domination number found then the notion of k-dominating ...

Let G be a simple graph without isolated vertex with vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G). A function f : E(G) −→ {−1, 1} is said to be a signed star k-subdominating function of G if ∑ e∈E(v) f (e) ≥ 1 for at least k vertices v of G, where E(v) = {uv ∈ E(G) | u ∈ N (v)}. The value min ∑ e∈E(G) f (e), taking over all signed star k-subdominating function f of G is called the signed star k-subdomina...
