Given a graph $G$ and a subset of vertices $D\subseteq V(G)$, the external neighbourhood of $D$ is defined as $N_e(D)=\{u\in V(G)\setminus D:\, N(u)\cap D\ne \varnothing\}$, where $N(u)$ denotes the open neighbourhood of $u$. Now, given a…

Let $G$ be a graph and let $S\subseteq V(G)$. The set $S$ is a double outer-independent dominating set of $G$ if $|N[v]\cap D|\geq2$, for all $v\in V(G)$, and $V(G)\setminus S$ is independent. Similarly, $S$ is a $2$-outer-independent…

A dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set $D\subseteq V(G)$ such that \-every vertex of $G$ is either in $D$ or is adjacent to a vertex in $D$. The domination number of $G$, $\gamma(G)$, is the minimum order of a dominating set. A subset $R$…

Given a graph $G$ with vertex set $V$, $f : V \rightarrow \{0, 1, 2\}$ is a \emph{Roman $\{2\}$-dominating function} (or \emph{italian dominating function}) of $G$ if for every vertex $v\in V$ with $f(v) =0$, either there exists a vertex…

Let $G=(V(G), E(G))$ be a simple graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. Let $S$ be a subset of $V(G)$, and let $B(S)$ be the set of neighbours of $S$ in $V(G) \setminus S$. The differential $\partial(S)$ of $S$ is the number…

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…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, the dominating number of a graph is the minimum size of a vertex set, $V' \subseteq V$, so that every vertex in the graph is either in $V'$ or is adjacent to a vertex in $V'$. A Roman Dominating function of $G$ is…

Let $G=(V(G),E(G))$ be a simple graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. Let $S$ be a subset of $V(G)$, and let $B(S)$ be the set of neighbours of $S$ in $V(G) \setminus S$. The differential $\partial(S)$ of $S$ is defined as…

Based on the history that the Emperor Constantine decreed that any undefended place (with no legions) of the Roman Empire must be protected by a "stronger" neighbor place (having two legions), a graph theoretical model called Roman…

Given a graph $G=(V(G), E(G))$, the size of a minimum dominating set, minimum paired dominating set, and a minimum total dominating set of a graph $G$ are denoted by $\gamma(G)$, $\gamma_{\rm pr}(G)$, and $\gamma_{t}(G)$, respectively. For…

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 2-packing set for an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset $\mathcal{S} \subset V$ such that any two vertices $v_1,v_2 \in \mathcal{S}$ have no common neighbors. Finding a 2-packing set of maximum cardinality is a NP-hard problem. We…

A subset $S$ of vertices of a digraph $D$ is a double dominating set (total $2$-dominating set) if every vertex not in $S$ is adjacent from at least two vertices in $S$, and every vertex in $S$ is adjacent from at least one vertex in $S$…

In a graph $G$, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors. A subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ is said to be a double dominating set of $G$ if $S$ dominates every vertex of $G$ at least twice. The double domination number $\gamma_{\times 2}(G)$ is…

Let $G(V,E)$ be a simple, undirected and connected graph. A dominating set $S \subseteq V(G)$ is called a $2$-\textit{secure dominating set} ($2$-SDS) in $G$, if for every pair of distinct vertices $u_1,u_2 \in V(G)$ there exists a pair of…

For a given graph $G$ without isolated vertex we consider a function $f: V(G) \rightarrow \{0,1,2\}$. For every $i\in \{0,1,2\}$, let $V_i=\{v\in V(G):\; f(v)=i\}$. The function $f$ is known to be an outer-independent total Roman dominating…

For a graph $G=(V,E)$, a Roman $\{2\}$-dominating function (R2DF)$f:V\rightarrow \{0,1,2\}$ has the property that for every vertex $v\in V$ with $f(v)=0$, either there exists a neighbor $u\in N(v)$, with $f(u)=2$, or at least two neighbors…

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…

A set $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a dominating set for $G$ if every vertex outside of $S$ is adjacent to at least one vertex belonging to $S$. The minimum cardinality of a dominating set for $G$ is called the domination number of $G$.…

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…
