A Roman dominating function 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 a Roman dominating function is the value f(V ) = ∑ u∈V f(u). The minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on a graph G is called the Roman domination number of G. In this pape...

A graph G with no isolated vertex is total domination vertex critical if for any vertex v of G that is not adjacent to a vertex of degree one, the total domination number of G− v is less than the total domination number of G. We call these graphs total domination critical or just γt-critical. If such a graph G has total domination number k, we call it k-γt-critical. We study an open problem of ...

Domination theory is a well-established topic in graph theory, as well one of the most active research areas. Interest this area partly explained by its diversity applications to real-world problems, such facility location computer and social networks, monitoring communication, coding algorithm design, among others. In last two decades, functions defined on graphs have attracted attention sever...

A Roman dominating function on a graph G = (V,E) is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that every vertex u with 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(G) = ∑ u∈V f(u). The Roman domination number of G is the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on G. The Roman bondage number of a nonempty ...

Given a positive integer k, a k-dominating set in a graph G is a set of vertices such that every vertex not in the set has at least k neighbors in the set. A total k-dominating set, also known as a k-tuple total dominating set, is a set of vertices such that every vertex of the graph has at least k neighbors in the set. The problems of finding the minimum size of a k-dominating, resp. total k-d...

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
