A 2-rainbow edge dominating function (2REDF) of a graph [Formula: see text] is a function [Formula: see text] from the edge set [Formula: see text] to the set of all subsets of the set [Formula: see text] such that for any edge [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] the condition [Formula: see text] is fulfilled, where [Formula: see text] is the open neighborhood of [Formula: see text]. The weight of a 2REDF [Formula: see text] is the value [Formula: see text]. The minimum weight of a 2REDF is the 2-rainbow edge domination number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we initiate the study of 2-rainbow edge domination in graphs. We present various sharp bounds, exact values and characterizations for the 2-rainbow edge domination number of a graph.

This paper introduces a general approach to the idea of protection of graphs, which encompasses the known variants of secure domination and introduces new ones. Specifically, we introduce the study of secure w-domination in graphs, where w=(w0,w1,…,wl) is a vector of nonnegative integers such that w0≥1. The secure w-domination number is defined as follows. Let G be a graph and N(v) the open neighborhood of v∈V(G). We say that a function f:V(G)⟶{0,1,…,l} is a w-dominating function if f(N(v))=∑u∈N(v)f(u)≥wi for every vertex v with f(v)=i. The weight of f is defined to be ω(f)=∑v∈V(G)f(v). Given a w-dominating function f and any pair of adjacent vertices v,u∈V(G) with f(v)=0 and f(u)>0, the function fu→v is defined by fu→v(v)=1, fu→v(u)=f(u)−1 and fu→v(x)=f(x) for every x∈V(G)\{u,v}. We say that a w-dominating function f is a secure w-dominating function if for every v with f(v)=0, there exists u∈N(v) such that f(u)>0 and fu→v is a w-dominating function as well. The secure w-domination number of G, denoted by γws(G), is the minimum weight among all secure w-dominating functions. This paper provides fundamental results on γws(G) and raises the challenge of conducting a detailed study of the topic.

Let $D$ be a finite simple digraph with vertex set $V(D)$ and arc set $A(D)$. A twin signed Roman dominating function (TSRDF) on the digraph $D$ is a function $f:V(D)\rightarrow\{-1,1,2\}$ satisfying the conditions that (i) $\sum_{x\in N^-[v]}f(x)\ge 1$ and $\sum_{x\in N^+[v]}f(x)\ge 1$ for each $v\in V(D)$, where $N^-[v]$ (resp. $N^+[v]$) consists of $v$ and all in-neighbors (resp. out-neighbors) of $v$, and (ii) every vertex $u$ for which $f(u)=-1$ has an in-neighbor $v$ and an out-neighbor $w$ for which $f(v)=f(w)=2$. The weight of an TSRDF $f$ is $\omega(f)=\sum_{v\in V(D)}f(v)$. The twin signed Roman domination number $\gamma_{sR}^*(D)$ of $D$ is the minimum weight of an TSRDF on $D$. In this paper, we initiate the study of twin signed Roman domination in digraphs and we present some sharp bounds on $\gamma_{sR}^*(D)$. In addition, we determine the twin signed Roman domination number of some classes of digraphs.

A 2-rainbow dominating function (2RDF) on a graph G is a function f from the vertex set V(G) to the set of all subsets of the set {1, 2} such that for any vertex v ∈ V(G) with f(v) = ∅ the condition ⋃u∈N(v)f(u) = {1, 2} is fulfilled. A 2RDF f is independent 2-rainbow dominating function (I2RDF) if no two vertices assigned nonempty sets are adjacent. The weight of a 2RDF f is the value ω(f) = ∑v∈V |f(v)|. The 2-rainbow domination number γr2(G) (respectively, the independent 2-rainbow domination number ir2(G)) is the minimum weight of a 2RDF (respectively, I2RDF) on G. M. Chellali and N. Jafari Rad [Independent 2-rainbow domination in graphs, to appear in J. Combin. Math. Combin. Comput.] have studied the independent 2-rainbow domination numbers in graphs and posed the following problem: Find a sharp bound for ir2(T) in terms of the order of a tree T. In this paper we prove that for every tree T of order n ≥ 3, [Formula: see text].

A perfect Roman dominating function on a graph G = (V (G), E(G)) is a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} for which each u ∈ V (G) with f(u) = 0 is adjacent to exactly one vertex v ∈ V (G) with f(v) = 2. The weight of a perfect Roman dominating function f is the value ωG(f) = Pv∈V (G) f(v). The perfect Roman domination number of G is the minimum weight of a perfect Roman dominating function on G. In this paper, we study the perfect Roman domination numbers of graphs under some binary operation

A restrained $k$-rainbow dominating function (R$k$RDF) of a graph $G$ is a function $f$ from the vertex set $V(G)$ to the set of all subsets of the set $\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$ such that for any vertex $v \in V (G)$ with $f(v) = \emptyset$ the conditions $\bigcup_{u \in N(v)} f(u)=\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$ and $|N(v)\cap \{u\in V\mid f(u)=\emptyset\}|\ge 1$ are fulfilled, where $N(v)$ is the open neighborhood of $v$. The weight of a restrained $k$-rainbow dominating function is the value $w(f)=\sum_{v\in V}|f (v)|$. The minimum weight of a restrained $k$-rainbow dominating function of $G$ is called the restrained $k$-rainbow domination number of $G$, denoted by $\gamma_{rrk}(G)$. The restrained $k$-rainbow bondage number $b_{rrk}(G)$ of a graph $G$ with maximum degree at least two is the minimum cardinality of all sets $F \subseteq E(G)$ for which $\gamma_{rrk}(G-F) > \gamma_{rrk}(G)$. In this paper, we initiate the study of the restrained $k$-rainbow bondage number in graphs and we present some sharp bounds for $b_{rr2}(G)$. In addition, we determine the restrained 2-rainbow bondage number of some classes of graphs.

The minimum weight of a resolving RDF on [Formula: see text] is called the resolving Roman domination number of [Formula: see text] and is denoted by [Formula: see text]. A resolving RDF on [Formula: see text] with weight [Formula: see text] is called a [Formula: see text]-function on [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we find the resolving Roman domination number of certain well-known classes of graphs. We also categorize the class of graphs whose resolving Roman domination number equals their order.
