Abstract

For a graph G=(V,E)G=(V,E), a function f:V{0,1,2}f:V\rightarrow \{0,1,2\} is called Roman dominating function (RDF) if for any vertex vv with f(v)=0f(v)=0, there is at least one vertex ww in its neighborhood with f(w)=2f(w)=2. The weight of an RDF ff of GG is the value f(V)=vVf(v)f(V)=\sum_{v\in V}f(v). The minimum weight of an RDF of GG is its Roman domination number and denoted by γR(G)\gamma_ R(G). In this paper, we first show that γR(G)+1γR(μ(G))γR(G)+2\gamma_{R}(G)+1\leq \gamma_{R}(\mu (G))\leq \gamma_{R}(G)+2, where μ(G)\mu (G) is the Mycielekian graph of GG, and then characterize the graphs achieving equality in these bounds. Then for any positive integer mm, we compute the Roman domination number of the mm-Mycieleskian μm(G)\mu_{m}(G) of a special Roman graph GG in terms on γR(G)\gamma_R(G). Finally we present several graphs to illustrate the discussed graphs.
