Critical properties on Roman domination graphs

Combinatorics 2013-11-19 v1

Abstract

A Roman domination function on a graph G is a function r:V(G){0,1,2}r:V(G)\to \{0,1,2\} satisfying the condition that every vertex uu for which r(u)=0r(u)=0 is adjacent to at least one vertex vv for which r(v)=2r(v)=2. The weight of a Roman function is the value r(V(G))=uV(G)r(u)r(V(G))=\sum_{u\in V(G)}r(u). The Roman domination number γR(G)\gamma_R(G) of GG is the minimum weight of a Roman domination function on GG. "Roman Criticality" has been defined in general as the study of graphs where the Roman domination number decreases when removing an edge or a vertex of the graph. In this paper we give further results in this topic as well as the complete characterization of critical graphs that have Toman Domination number γR(G)=4\gamma_R(G)=4.
