For a graph G = (V,E), a Roman dominating function on G is a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex u for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v with f(v) = 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 of G, denoted by γR (G). T...

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph G is a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that every vertex v for which f(v) = 0, is adjacent to at least one vertex u for which f(u) = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function f is the value f(V (G)) = ∑ v∈V (G) f(v). The Roman domination number of G, denoted by γR(G), is the minimum weight of an RDF on G. The Roman reinforc...

‎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 ...

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph G = (V,E) is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that every vertex u for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f(v) = 2. The weight of an RDF f is the value f(V (G)) = ∑ u∈V (G) f(u). A function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} with the ordered partition (V0, V1, V2) of V (G), where Vi = {v ∈ V (G) | f(v) = i} for i = 0...

A Roman dominating function on a graph G = (V,E) is a function f : V −→ {0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that every vertex v for which f(v) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex u for which f(u) = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is the value w(f) = ∑ v∈V f(v). The Roman domination number of a graph G, denoted by γR(G), equals the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on ...

In his article published in 1999, Ian Stewart discussed a strategy of Emperor Constantine for defending the Roman Empire. Motivated by this article, Cockayne et al.(2004) introduced the notion of Roman domination in graphs. Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A Roman dominating function of G is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex v for which f(v) = 0 has a neighbor u with f(u) = 2. The we...

For a positive integer k, a total {k}-dominating function of a graph G without isolated vertices is a function f from the vertex set V (G) to the set {0, 1, 2, . . . , k} such that for any vertex v ∈ V (G), the condition ∑ u∈N(v) f(u) ≥ k is fulfilled, where N(v) is the open neighborhood of v. The weight of a total {k}-dominating function f is the value ω(f) = ∑ v∈V f(v). The total {k}-dominati...

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...

A two-valued function f defined on the vertices of a graph G (V, E), I : V -+ {-I, I}, is a signed dominating function if the sum of its function values over any closed neighborhood is at least one. That is, for every v E V, f(N[v]) 2: 1, where N(v] consists of v and every vertex adjacent to v. The of a signed dominating function is ICV) = L f( v), over all vertices v E V. The signed domination...
