‎A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph G=(V,E) is a function  f : V → {0, 1, 2}  such that every vertex u for which f(u)=0 is‎ ‎adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f(v)=2‎. ‎An RDF f is called‎‎an outer independent Roman dominating function (OIRDF) if the set of‎‎vertices assigned a 0 under f is an independent set‎. ‎The weight of an‎‎OIRDF is the sum of its function values over ...

Let G = (V,E) be a graph and f be a function f : V → {0, 1, 2}. A vertex u with f(u) = 0 is said to be undefended with respect to f , if it is not adjacent to a vertex with positive weight. The function f is a weak Roman dominating function (WRDF) if each vertex u with f(u) = 0 is adjacent to a vertex v with f(v) > 0 such that the function f ′ : V → {0, 1, 2} defined by f ′ (u) = 1, f ′ (v) = f...

A Roman dominating function of 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. The Roman domination number γR(G) of G is the minimum of ∑ v∈V (G) f(v) over such functions. Let G be a connected n-vertex graph. We prove that γR(G) ≤ 4n/5, and we characterize the graphs achieving equality. We obtain sharp upper and lower bounds for γR(...

A Roman dominating function on a graph G = (V,E) is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex v ∈ V with f(v) = 0 has at least one neighbor u ∈ V with f(u) = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is the value f(V (G)) = ∑ u∈V (G) f(u). The minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on a graph G is called the Roman domination number, denoted by γR(G). The Roman bondage number...

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...

In this work, we study the signed Roman domination number of the join of graphs. Specially, we determine it for the join of cycles, wheels, fans, and friendship graphs.

‎Let $G$ be a finite and simple graph with vertex set $V(G)$‎. ‎A nonnegative signed total Roman dominating function (NNSTRDF) on a‎ ‎graph $G$ is a function $f:V(G)rightarrow{-1‎, ‎1‎, ‎2}$ satisfying the conditions‎‎that (i) $sum_{xin N(v)}f(x)ge 0$ for each‎ ‎$vin V(G)$‎, ‎where $N(v)$ is the open neighborhood of $v$‎, ‎and (ii) every vertex $u$ for which‎ ‎$f(u...
