Abstract

Let G=(V(G),E(G))G=(V(G),E(G)) be a simple graph. A restrained double Roman dominating function (RDRD-function) of GG is a function f:V(G){0,1,2,3}f: V(G) \rightarrow \{0,1,2,3\} satisfying the following properties: if f(v)=0f(v)=0, then the vertex vv has at least two neighbours assigned 2 under ff or one neighbour uu with f(u)=3f(u)=3; and if f(v)=1f(v)=1, then the vertex vv must have one neighbor uu with f(u)2f(u) \geq 2; the induced graph by vertices assigned 0 under ff contains no isolated vertex. The weight of a RDRD-function ff is the sum f(V)=vV(G)f(v)f(V)=\sum_{v \in V(G)} f(v), and the minimum weight of a RDRD-function on GG is the restrained double Roman domination number (RDRD-number) of GG, denoted by γrdR(G)\gamma_{rdR}(G). In this paper, we first prove that the problem of computing RDRD-number is NP-hard even for chordal graphs. And then we study the impact of some graph operations, such as strong product, cardinal product and corona with a graph, on restrained double Roman domination number.
