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...

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 k-rainbow dominating function of a graph G is a map f from V (G) to the set of all subsets of {1, 2, . . . , k} such that {1, . . . , k} = ⋃ u∈N(v) f(u) whenever v is a vertex with f(v) = ∅. The k-rainbow domination number of G is the invariant γrk(G), which is the minimum sum (over all the vertices of G) of the cardinalities of the subsets assigned by a k-rainbow dominating function. We focu...

For a positive integer k, a k-rainbow dominating function of a graph G is a function f from the vertex set V (G) to the set of all subsets of the set {1, 2, . . . , k} such that for any vertex v ∈ V (G) with f(v) = ∅ the condition ⋃ u∈N(v) f(u) = {1, 2, . . . , k} is fulfilled, where N(v) is the neighborhood of v. The 1-rainbow domination is the same as the ordinary domination. A set {f1, f2, ....

a {em 2-rainbow dominating function} (2rdf) of a graph $g$ is a function $f$ from the vertex set $v(g)$ to the set of all subsets of the set ${1,2}$ such that for any vertex $vin v(g)$ with $f(v)=emptyset$ the condition $bigcup_{uin n(v)}f(u)={1,2}$ is fulfilled, where $n(v)$ is the open neighborhood of $v$. the {em weight} of a 2rdf $f$ is the value $omega(f)=sum_{vin v}|f (v)|$. the {em $2$-r...

Assume we have a set of k colors and to each vertex of a graph G we assign an arbitrary subset of these colors. If we require that each vertex to which an empty set is assigned has in its neighborhood all k colors, then this is called the k-rainbow dominating function of a graph G. The corresponding invariant γrk(G), which is the minimum sum of numbers of assigned colors over all vertices of G,...

For a graph G, let f : V (G) → P({1, 2, . . . , k}) be a function. If for each vertex v ∈ V (G) such that f(v) = ∅ we have ∪u∈N(v)f(u) = {1, 2, . . . , k}, then f is called a k-rainbow dominating function (or simply kRDF) of G. The weight, w(f), of a kRDF f is defined as w(f) = ∑ v∈V (G) |f(v)|. The minimum weight of a kRDF of G is called the k-rainbow domination number of G, and is denoted by ...

A edge 2-rainbow dominating function (E2RDF) of a graph G is a ‎function f from the edge set E(G) to the set of all subsets‎ ‎of the set {1,2} such that for any edge.......................

The concept of 2-rainbow domination of a graph G coincides with the ordinary domination of the prism G K2. In this paper, we show that the problem of deciding if a graph has a 2-rainbow dominating function of a given weight is NP-complete even when restricted to bipartite graphs or chordal graphs. Exact values of 2-rainbow domination numbers of several classes of graphs are found, and it is sho...
