A graph theoretical model called Roman domination in graphs originates from the historical background that any undefended place (with no legions) of the Roman Empire must be protected by a stronger neighbor place (having two legions). It is applicable to military and commercial decision-making problems. A Roman dominating function for a graph G = (V, E) is a function $f:V{\rightarrow}\{0,1,2\}$ such that every vertex v with f(v)=0 has at least a neighbor w in G for which f(w)=2. The Roman domination number of a graph is the minimum weight ${\sum}_{v{\in}V}\;f(v)$ of a Roman dominating function. In order to deal a problem of a Roman domination-type defensive strategy under multiple simultaneous attacks, ${\acute{A}}lvarez$-Ruiz et al. [1] initiated the study of a new parameter related to Roman dominating function, which is called strong Roman domination. ${\acute{A}}lvarez$-Ruiz et al. posed the following problem: Characterize the graphs G with equal strong Roman domination number and Roman domination number. In this paper, we construct a family of trees. We prove that for a tree, its strong Roman dominance number and Roman dominance number are equal if and only if the tree belongs to this family of trees.

Let k be a positive integer, and let G be a simple graph with vertex set V (G). A Roman k-dominating function on G is a function f : V (G) $\rightarrow$ {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex u for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least k vertices $\upsilon_1,\;\upsilon_2,\;{\ldots},\;\upsilon_k$ with $f(\upsilon_i)$ = 2 for i = 1, 2, $\ldot$, k. The weight of a Roman k-dominating function is the value f(V (G)) = $\sum_{u{\in}v(G)}$ f(u). The minimum weight of a Roman k-dominating function on a graph G is called the Roman k-domination number ${\gamma}_{kR}$(G) of G. Note that the Roman 1-domination number $\gamma_{1R}$(G) is the usual Roman domination number $\gamma_R$(G). In this paper, we investigate the properties of the Roman k-domination number. Some of our results extend these one given by Cockayne, Dreyer Jr., S. M. Hedetniemi, and S. T. Hedetniemi [2] in 2004 for the Roman domination number.

Chellai et al. [3] gave an upper bound on the [1, 2]-domination number of tree and posed an open question "how to classify trees satisfying the sharp bound?". Yang and Wu [5] gave a partial solution for tree of order n with ${\ell}$-leaves such that every non-leaf vertex has degree at least 4. In this paper, we give a new upper bound on the [1, 2]-domination number of tree which extends the result of Yang and Wu. In addition, we design a polynomial time algorithm for solving the open question. By using this algorithm, we give a characterization on the [1, 2]-domination number for trees of order n with ${\ell}$ leaves satisfying $n-{\ell}$. Thereby, the open question posed by Chellai et al. is solved.

Consider a graph G of order n and maximum degree ${\Delta}$. Let $f:V(G){\rightarrow}\{0,1,{\cdots},{\lceil}{\frac{{\Delta}}{2}}{\rceil}+1\}$ be a function that labels the vertices of G. Let $B_0=\{v{\in}V(G):f(v)=0\}$. The function f is a strong Roman dominating function for G if every $v{\in}B_0$ has a neighbor w such that $f(w){\geq}1+{\lceil}{\frac{1}{2}}{\mid}N(w){\cap}B_0{\mid}{\rceil}$. In this paper, we study the bounds on strong Roman domination numbers of the Cartesian product $P_m{\square}P_k$ of paths $P_m$ and paths $P_k$. We compute the exact values for the strong Roman domination number of the Cartesian product $P_2{\square}P_k$ and $P_3{\square}P_k$. We also show that the strong Roman domination number of the Cartesian product $P_4{\square}P_k$ is between ${\lceil}{\frac{1}{3}}(8k-{\lfloor}{\frac{k}{8}}{\rfloor}+1){\rceil}$ and ${\lceil}{\frac{8k}{3}}{\rceil}$ for $k{\geq}8$, and that both bounds are sharp bounds.

A three-valued function f defined on the vertices of a digraph D = (V, A), $f:V{\rightarrow}\{-1,0,+1\}$ is a minus total dominating function(MTDF) if $f(N^-(v)){\geq}1$ for each vertex $v{\in}V$. The minus total domination number of a digraph D equals the minimum weight of an MTDF of D. In this paper, we discuss some properties of the minus total domination number and obtain a few lower bounds of the minus total domination number on a digraph D.

Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A function $f:V{\rightarrow}\{-1,+1\}$ defined on the vertices of G is a signed total dominating function if the sum of its function values over any open neighborhood is at least one. The signed total domination number of G, ${\gamma}^s_t(G)$, is the minimum weight of a signed total dominating function of G. In this paper, we study the signed total domination number of generalized Petersen graphs P(n, 2) and prove that for any integer $n{\geq}6$, ${\gamma}^s_t(P(n,2))=2[\frac{n}{3}]+2t$, where $t{\equiv}n(mod\;3)$ and $0 {\leq}t{\leq}2$.

In this paper, we introduce an iP₂ extension of a star graph S_n for n ≥ 2 and 1 ≤ i ≤ n - 1. Certain general properties satisfied by order, size, domination (or Roman) numbers γ (or γ_R) of an iP₂ extended star graph are studied. Finally, we study how the parameters such as chromatic number and harmonious chromatic number are affected when an iP₂ extension process acts on the star graphs.

For a given graph G = (V, E), a dominating set is a subset V' of the vertex set V so that each vertex in V ＼ V' is adjacent to a vertex in V'. The minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G is called the domination number of G and is denoted by γ(G). For an integer k ≥ 1, the k-th power G^k of a graph G with V (G^k) = V (G) for which uv ∈ E(G^k) if and only if 1 ≤ d_G(u, v) ≤ k. Note that G² is the square graph of a graph G. In this paper, we obtain some tight bounds for the sum of the domination numbers of a graph and its square graph in terms of the order, order and size, and maximum degree of the graph G. Also, we characterize such extremal graphs.

본 연구에서는 트리구조를 가지는 네트워크의 [1,2]-지배집합에 대한 특성과 지배수의 상계 값에 대한 이론적 모형을 제시하였다. 구체적으로는 트리 네트워크가 가지는 몇 가지 전형적인 제약에 대해서 각 유형이 가지고 있는 지배집합의 지배수의 상계 값을 도출하였다. 본 논문에서는 트리구조의 네트워크에 대한 특성을 해석함에 있어서 그래프이론을 적용하였다. 노드집합 V와 링크집합 E으로 구성되는 그래프 G=(V,E)에 대해서 노드집합 V의 부분 집합 D를 가정한다. 이때 집합 V에 속하면서 집합 D에 속하는 않는 임의의 노드 ${\upsilon}$가 D에 속하는 노드와 1개 이상 2개 이하로만 인접하여 있으면 D를 [1,2]-지배집합이라 한다. 그리고 그래프 G의 [1,2]-지배집합 중 최소 농도를 [1,2]-지배 수라 하고 ${\gamma}_{[1,2]}(G)$로 표시한다. 본 논문에서는 트리(tree)의 [1,2]-지배 수에 대한 특성과 이의 새로운 상계 값을 증명하였다.

Let ${\gamma}$(G) be the domination number of a graph G. It is shown that for any $k {\ge} 0$ there exists a Cartesian graph bundle $B{\Box}_{\varphi}F$ such that ${\gamma}(B{\Box}_{\varphi}F) ={\gamma}(B){\gamma}(F)-2k$. The domination numbers of Cartesian bundles of two cycles are determined exactly when the fibre graph is a triangle or a square. A statement similar to Vizing's conjecture on strong graph bundles is shown not to be true by proving the inequality ${\gamma}(B{\bigotimes}_{\varphi}F){\le}{\gamma}(B){\gamma}(F)$ for strong graph bundles. Examples of graphs Band F with ${\gamma}(B{\bigotimes}_{\varphi}F) < {\gamma}(B){\gamma}(F)$ are given.
