Consider a finite and simple graph $G=(V,E)$ with maximum degree $\Delta$. A strong Roman dominating function over the graph $G$ is understood as a map $f : V (G)\rightarrow \{0, 1,\ldots , \left\lceil \frac{\Delta}{2}\right\rceil+ 1\}$…

A Roman dominating function of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a labeling $f: V \rightarrow{} \{0 ,1, 2\}$ such that for each vertex $u \in V$ with $f(u) = 0$, there exists a vertex $v \in N(u)$ with $f(v) =2$. A Roman dominating function $f$ is a…

One of the well-known measurements of vulnerability in graph theory is domination. There are many kinds of dominating and relative types of sets in graphs. However, we are going to focus on Roman domination, which is a type of domination…

In this short paper, we establish relations between the domination number $\gamma$, the total domination number $\gamma_t$, and the connected domination number $\gamma_c$ of a graph. In particular, we prove upper and lower bounds for…

While a number of bounds are known on the zero forcing number $Z(G)$ of a graph $G$ expressed in terms of the order of a graph and maximum or minimum degree, we present two bounds that are related to the (upper) total domination number…

We find new upper bounds on the size of a minimum totally dominating set for random regular graphs and for regular graphs with large girth. These bounds are obtained through the analysis of a local algorithm using a method due to Hoppen and…

A map $f : V \rightarrow \{0, 1, 2\}$ is a Roman dominating function on a graph $G=(V,E)$ if for every vertex $v\in V$ with $f(v) = 0$, there exists a vertex $u$, adjacent to $v$, such that $f(u) = 2$. The weight of a Roman dominating…
