A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graphG = (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 is the value f(V (G)) = ∑ u∈V (G) f(u). An RDF f in a graph G is independent if no two vertices assigned positive values are adjacent. The Roman domination number γR(G)...

Let γ(G) denote the domination number of a graph G. A Roman domination function of a graph G is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex with 0 has a neighbor with 2. The Roman domination number γR(G) is the minimum of f(V (G)) = Σv∈V f(v) over all such functions. Let G H denote the Cartesian product of graphs G and H. We prove that γ(G)γ(H) ≤ γR(G H) for all simple graphs G and H, w...

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...

the inflation $g_{i}$ of a graph $g$ with $n(g)$ vertices and $m(g)$ edges is obtained from $g$ by replacing every vertex of degree $d$ of $g$ by a clique, which is isomorph to the complete graph $k_{d}$, and each edge $(x_{i},x_{j})$ of $g$ is replaced by an edge $(u,v)$ in such a way that $uin x_{i}$, $vin x_{j}$, and two different edges of $g$ are replaced by non-adjacent edges of $g_{i}$. t...

Domination in graphs has been an extensively researched branch of graph theory. Graph theory is one of the most flourishing branches of modern mathematics and computer applications. An introduction and an extensive overview on domination in graphs and related topics is surveyed and detailed in the two books by Haynes et al. [ 1, 2]. Recently dominating functions in domination theory have receiv...

For an integer n ≥ 2, let I ⊂ {0, 1, 2, · · · , n}. A Smarandachely Roman sdominating function for an integer s, 2 ≤ s ≤ n on a graph G = (V,E) is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2, · · · , n} satisfying the condition that |f(u)− f(v)| ≥ s for each edge uv ∈ E with f(u) or f(v) ∈ I . Similarly, a Smarandachely Roman edge s-dominating function for an integer s, 2 ≤ s ≤ n on a graph G = (V,E) is a func...
