We study a variant of domination, called Roman domination, where we must assign to each vertex one of the labels 0, 1, or 2 and require that every vertex with label 0 has a neighbour with label 2. We study the problem of finding a low-cost…

For a graph $G=(V,E)$ of order $n$, a Roman $\{2\}$-dominating function $f:V\rightarrow\{0,1,2\}$ has the property that for every vertex $v\in V$ with $f(v)=0$, either $v$ is adjacent to a vertex assigned $2$ under $f$, or $v$ is adjacent…

We investigate the 2-domination number for grid graphs, that is the size of a smallest set $D$ of vertices of the grid such that each vertex of the grid belongs to $D$ or has at least two neighbours in $D$. We give a closed formula giving…

Domination in graphs is a widely studied field, where many different definitions have been introduced in the last years to respond to different network requirements. This paper presents a new dominating parameter based on the well-known…

For any integer $k\geq 1$ and any graph $G=(V,E)$ with minimum degree at least $k-1$, we define a function $f:V\rightarrow \{0,1,2\}$ as a Roman $k$-tuple dominating function on $G$ if for any vertex $v$ with $f(v)=0$ there exist at least…

For a positive integer $k$, a $\{k\}$-Roman dominating function of a graph $G = (V,E)$ is a function $f\colon V \rightarrow \{0,1,\ldots,k\}$ satisfying $f (N(v)) \geq k$ for each vertex $v\in V$ with $f (v) = 0$. Every graph $G$ satisfies…

In this paper we study the weak Roman domination number and the secure domination number of a graph. In particular, we obtain general bounds on these two parameters and, as a consequence of the study, we derive new inequalities of…

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 $f : V (G)\rightarrow \{0, 1,\ldots , \left\lceil \frac{\Delta}{2}\right\rceil+ 1\}$…

Roman domination is one of the many variants of domination that keeps most of the complexity features of the classical domination problem. We prove that Roman domination behaves differently in two aspects: enumeration and extension. We…

$k$-defensive domination, a variant of the classical domination problem on graphs, seeks a minimum cardinality vertex set providing a surjective defense against any attack on vertices of cardinality bounded by a parameter $k$. The problem…

Roman domination is a well researched topic in graph theory. Recently two new variants of Roman domination, namely triple Roman domination and quadruple Roman domination problems have been introduced, to provide better defense strategies.…

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…

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

For a graph $G= (V, E)$, a Roman dominating function is a map $f : V \rightarrow \{0, 1, 2\}$ satisfies the property that if $f(v) = 0$, then $v$ must have adjacent to at least one vertex $u$ such that $f(u)= 2$. The weight of a Roman…

We consider the 2-limited packing problem: for a graph $G=(V,E)$ one seeks to find a maximum cardinality subset $B\subseteq V$, such that, for all $v\in V$, the closed neighbourhood of $v$ contains at most two vertices in $B$. We compare…

The signed double Roman domination problem is a combinatorial optimization problem on a graph asking to assign a label from $\{\pm{}1,2,3\}$ to each vertex feasibly, such that the total sum of assigned labels is minimized. Here feasibility…
