We provide two algorithms counting the number of minimum Roman dominating functions of a graph on n vertices in (1.5673) n time and polynomial space. We also show that the time complexity can be reduced to (1.5014) n if exponential space is used. Our result is obtained by transforming the Roman domination problem into other combinatorial problems on graphs for which exact algorithms already exist.

Let D be a finite and simple digraph with the vertex set V (D), and let f : V (D) → {−1, 1} be a two-valued function. If∑ x∈N[v] f(x) ≥ 1 for each v ∈ V (D), where N[v] consists of v and all vertices of D from which arcs go into v, then f is a signed dominating function on D. The sum f(V (D)) is called the weight w(f) of f . The minimum of weights w(f), taken over all signed dominating function...

OF THE DISSERTATION Applications and Variations of Domination in Graphs by Paul Andrew Dreyer, Jr. Dissertation Director: Fred S. Roberts In a graph G = (V, E), S ⊆ V is a dominating set of G if every vertex is either in S or joined by an edge to some vertex in S. Many different types of domination have been researched extensively. This dissertation explores some new variations and applications...

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...
