The aim of this paper is to obtain closed formulas for the perfect domination number, Roman number and lexicographic product graphs. We show that these can be obtained relatively easily case first two parameters. picture quite different when it concerns number. In case, we general bounds then give sufficient and/or necessary conditions achieved. also discuss graphs characterize where equals

Define a Roman dominating function (RDF) of a graph G to be a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} such that every u with f(u) = 0 has a neighbor v with f(v) = 2. The weight of f , w(f), is ∑ v∈V (G) f(v). The Roman domination number of G, γR(G), is the minimum weight of an RDF of G. It is easy to see that γ(G) ≤ γR(G) ≤ 2γ(G), where γ(G) is the domination number of G. In this paper, we determine pro...

Recent articles by ReVelle [20, 21] in the Johns Hopkins Magazines suggested a new variation of domination called Roman domination, see also [22] for an integer programming formulation of the problem. Since then, there have been several articles on Roman domination and its variations [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 24, 23, 25]. Emperor Constantine had the requirement that an army or leg...

For a graph property P and a graph G, a subset S of the vertices of G is a P-set if the subgraph induced by S has the property P. A P-Roman dominating function on a graph G is a labeling f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex with label 0 has a neighbor with label 2 and the set of all vertices with label 1 or 2 is a P-set. The P-Roman domination number γPR(G) of G is the minimum of Σv∈V (...

Domination is a rapidly developing area of research in graph theory, and its various applications to ad hoc networks, distributed computing, social networks and web graphs partly explain the increased interest. This thesis focuses on domination theory, and the main aim of the study is to apply a probabilistic approach to obtain new upper bounds for various domination parameters. Chapters 2 and ...

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph $G = (V, E)$ is a labeling $f : V rightarrow {0, 1, 2}$ suchthat every vertex with label $0$ has a neighbor with label $2$. The weight of $f$ is the value $f(V) = Sigma_{vin V} f(v)$The Roman domination number, $gamma_R(G)$, of $G$ is theminimum weight of an RDF on $G$.An RDF of minimum weight is called a $gamma_R$-function.A graph G is said to be $g...

Abstract: Let G=(V,E) be a graph and let f:V(G)→{0,1,2} be a function‎. ‎A vertex v is protected with respect to f‎, ‎if f(v)>0 or f(v)=0 and v is adjacent to a vertex of positive weight‎. ‎The function f is a co-Roman dominating function‎, ‎abbreviated CRDF if‎: ‎(i) every vertex in V is protected‎, ‎and (ii) each u∈V with positive weight has a neighbor v∈V with f(v)=0 such that the func...

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a vertex $v in V$, by $N(v)$ we represent the open neighbourhood of $v$. Let $f:Vrightarrow {0,1,2}$ be a function on $G$. The weight of $f$ is $omega(f)=sum_{vin V}f(v)$ and let $V_i={vin V colon f(v)=i}$, for $i=0,1,2$. The function $f$ is said to bebegin{itemize}item a Roman ${2}$-dominating function, if for every vertex $vin V_0$, $sum_{uin N(v)}f(u)geq 2$. The R...

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph $G$ is a function $f : V (G) to {0, 1, 2}$satisfying the condition that every vertex $u$ for which $f(u) = 0$ is adjacent to at least onevertex $v$ for which $f(v) = 2$. A Roman dominating function $f$ is called an outer-independentRoman dominating function (OIRDF) on $G$ if the set ${vin Vmid f(v)=0}$ is independent.The (outer-independent) Roman dom...
