Abstract

A Roman dominating function on a graph G=(V,E)G=(V,E) is a function f:V{0,1,2}f: V\to \{0,1,2\} satisfying the condition that every vertex uu with f(u)=0f(u)=0 is adjacent to at least one vertex vv with f(v)=2f(v)=2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is the value f(G)=uVf(u)f(G)=\sum_{u\in V} f(u). The Roman domination number of GG is the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on GG. The Roman bondage number of a nonempty graph GG is the minimum number of edges whose removal results in a graph with the Roman domination number larger than that of GG. This paper determines the exact value of the Roman bondage numbers of two classes of graphs, complete tt-partite graphs and (n3)(n-3)-regular graphs with order nn for any n5n\ge 5.
