A double Roman dominating function of a graph $G$ is a function $f:V(G)\rightarrow \{0,1,2,3\}$ having the property that for each vertex $v$ with $f(v)=0$, there exists $u\in N(v)$ with $f(u)=3$, or there are $u,w\in N(v)$ with…

A set $S\subseteq V$ is a dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V - S$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $S$. The domination number $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ equals the minimum cardinality of a dominating set $S$ in $G$; we say that such a…

Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be disjoint copies of a graph $G$, and let $f: V(G_1) \rightarrow V(G_2)$ be a function. Then a \emph{functigraph} $C(G, f)=(V, E)$ has the vertex set $V=V(G_1) \cup V(G_2)$ and the edge set $E=E(G_1) \cup E(G_2) \cup…

We propose the conjecture that the domination number $\gamma(G)$ of a $\Delta$-regular graph $G$ with $\Delta\geq 1$ is always at most its edge domination number $\gamma_e(G)$, which coincides with the domination number of its line graph.…

Given a graph G, the domination number gamma(G) of G is the minimum order of a set S of vertices such that each vertex not in S is adjacent to some vertex in S. Equivalently, label the vertices from {0, 1} so that the sum over each closed…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, a function $f:V\rightarrow \{0,1,2\}$ is a total Roman $\{2\}$-dominating function if: (1) every vertex $v\in V$ for which $f(v)=0$ satisfies that $\sum_{u\in N(v)}f(u)\geq 2$, where $N(v)$ represents the open…

Given a graph~$G$, the domination number, denoted by~$\gamma(G)$, is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set in~$G$. Dual to the notion of domination number is the packing number of a graph. A packing of~$G$ is a set of vertices whose…

A set $D \subseteq V(G)$ is a \emph{dominating set} of $G$ if every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. A dominating set of $G$ of minimum cardinality is called a $\gamma(G)$-set. For each vertex $v \in V(G)$, we…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple undirected graph. $G$ is a circulant graph defined on $V=\mathbb{Z}_n$ with difference set $D\subseteq \{1,2,\ldots,\lfloor\frac{n}{2}\rfloor\}$ provided two vertices $i$ and $j$ in $\mathbb{Z}_n$ are adjacent if…

Let $G$ be a graph with no isolated vertex. In this paper, we study a parameter that is a relaxation of arguably the most important domination parameter, namely the total domination number, $\gamma_t(G)$. A set $S$ of vertices in $G$ is a…

A set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G(V,E)$ is called a dominating set if every vertex $v\in V$ is either an element of $S$ or is adjacent to an element of $S$. A set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G(V,E)$ is called a total dominating set if…

A Roman domination function on a graph G is a function $r:V(G)\to \{0,1,2\}$ satisfying the condition that every vertex $u$ for which $r(u)=0$ is adjacent to at least one vertex $v$ for which $r(v)=2$. The weight of a Roman function is the…

A vertex $v$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is said to be undefended with respect to a function $f: V \longrightarrow \{0,1,2\}$ if $f(v)=0$ and $f(u)=0$ for every vertex $u$ adjacent to $v$. We call the function $f$ a weak Roman dominating function…

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph $G = (V, E)$ is a labeling $f : V \rightarrow \{0, 1, 2\}$ such that every vertex with label $0$ has a neighbor with label $2$. The weight of $f$ is the value $f(V) = \Sigma_{v\in V} f(v)$. The…
