An independent double Roman dominating function (IDRDF) on a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a function $f:V(G)\rightarrow \{0,1,2,3\}$ having the property that if $f(v)=0$, then the vertex $v$ has at least two neighbors assigned $2$ under $f$ or one…

Given a graph $G = (V, E)$, a signed Roman dominating function is a function $f: V \rightarrow \{-1, 1, 2\}$ such that for every vertex $u \in V$: $\sum_{v \in N[u]} f(v) \geq 1$ and for every vertex $u \in V$ with $f(u) = -1$, there exists…

A set $D \subseteq V(G)$ is a \emph{total dominating set} of $G$ if for every vertex $v \in V(G)$ there exists a vertex $u \in D$ such that $u$ and $v$ are adjacent. A total dominating set of $G$ of minimum cardinality is called a…

Given a function $f\colon V(G) \to \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$ on a graph $G$, $AN(v)$ denotes the set of neighbors of $v \in V(G)$ that have positive labels under $f$. In 2021, Ahangar et al.~introduced the notion of $[k]$-Roman Dominating…

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…

The concept of Roman domination has been a subject of intrigue for more than two decades with the fundamental Roman domination problem standing out as one of the most significant challenges in this field. This article studies a practically…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph of order $n$ and let $\gamma _{R}(G)$ and $\partial (G)$ denote the Roman domination number and the differential of $G,$ respectively. In this paper we prove that for any integer $k\geq 0$, if $G$ is a graph of…

A subset $M$ of the edges of a graph $G$ is a matching if no two edges in $M$ are incident. A maximal matching is a matching that is not contained in a larger matching. A subset $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$ with no isolated vertices is a…
