A total Roman 2 -dominating function (TR2DF) on a graph Γ = V , E is a function l : V ⟶ 0,1,2 , satisfying the conditions that (i) for every vertex y ∈ V with l y = 0 , either y is adjacent to a vertex labeled 2 under l , or y is adjacent to at least two vertices labeled 1; (ii) the subgraph induced by the set of vertices with positive weight has no isolated vertex. The weight of a TR2DF l is the value ∑ y ∈ V l y . The total Roman 2 -domination number (TR2D-number) of a graph Γ is the minimum weight of a TR2DF on Γ . The total Roman 2 -reinforcement number (TR2R-number) of a graph is the minimum number of edges that have to be added to the graph in order to decrease the TR2D-number. In this manuscript, we study the properties of TR2R-number and we present some sharp upper bounds. In particular, we determine the exact value of TR2R-numbers of some classes of graphs.

Let [Formula: see text] be an integer, and let [Formula: see text] be a graph. A k-rainbow dominating function (or [Formula: see text]RDF) of [Formula: see text] is a function [Formula: see text] from the vertex set [Formula: see text] to the family of all subsets of [Formula: see text] such that for very [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 [Formula: see text]RDF [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is the value [Formula: see text]. A k-rainbow dominating function [Formula: see text] in a graph with no isolated vertex is called a total k-rainbow dominating function if the subgraph of [Formula: see text] induced by the set [Formula: see text] has no isolated vertices. The total k-rainbow domination number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the minimum weight of the total [Formula: see text]-rainbow dominating function on [Formula: see text]. The total k-rainbow reinforcement number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the minimum number of edges that must be added to [Formula: see text] in order to decrease the total k-rainbow domination number. In this paper, we investigate the properties of total [Formula: see text]-rainbow reinforcement number in graphs. In particular, we present some sharp bounds for [Formula: see text] and we determine the total [Formula: see text]-rainbow reinforcement number of some classes of graphs including paths, cycles and complete bipartite graphs.

A total Roman dominating function (TRDF) on a graph [Formula: see text] is a function [Formula: see text] satisfying the conditions (i) every vertex [Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text] is adjacent at least one vertex [Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text] and (ii) the subgraph of [Formula: see text] induced by the set of all vertices of positive weight has no isolated vertex. The weight of a TRDF is the sum of its function values over all vertices. A total Roman dominating function [Formula: see text] is called a global total Roman dominating function (GTRDF) if [Formula: see text] is also a TRDF of the complement [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]. The global total Roman domination number of [Formula: see text] is the minimum weight of a GTRDF on [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we initiate the study of global total Roman domination number and investigate its basic properties. In particular, we relate the global total Roman domination and the total Roman domination and the global Roman domination number.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite and simple digraph. A [Formula: see text]-rainbow dominating function ([Formula: see text]RDF) of a digraph [Formula: see text] is a function [Formula: see text] from the vertex set [Formula: see text] to the set of all subsets of the set [Formula: see text] such that for any vertex [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] the condition [Formula: see text] is fulfilled, where [Formula: see text] is the set of in-neighbors of [Formula: see text]. The weight of a [Formula: see text]RDF [Formula: see text] is the value [Formula: see text]. The [Formula: see text]-rainbow domination number of a digraph [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the minimum weight of a [Formula: see text]RDF of [Formula: see text]. The [Formula: see text]-rainbow reinforcement number [Formula: see text] of a digraph [Formula: see text] is the minimum number of arcs that must be added to [Formula: see text] in order to decrease the [Formula: see text]-rainbow domination number. In this paper, we initiate the study of [Formula: see text]-rainbow reinforcement number in digraphs and we present some sharp bounds for [Formula: see text]. In particular, we determine the [Formula: see text]-rainbow reinforcement number of some classes of digraphs.

Let [Formula: see text] be a graph and let [Formula: see text] be a function. A vertex [Formula: see text] is protected with respect to [Formula: see text], if [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is adjacent to a vertex of positive weight. The function [Formula: see text] is a co-Roman dominating function, abbreviated CRDF if: (i) every vertex in [Formula: see text] is protected, and (ii) each [Formula: see text] with positive weight has a neighbor [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] such that the function [Formula: see text], defined by [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text], has no unprotected vertex. The weight of [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text]. The co-Roman domination number of a graph [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the minimum weight of a co-Roman dominating function on [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we present some new sharp bounds on [Formula: see text]. Some of our results improve the previous bounds.

A [Formula: see text]-rainbow dominating function (2RDF) of a graph [Formula: see text] is a function [Formula: see text] from the vertex set [Formula: see text] to the set of all subsets of the set [Formula: see text] such that for any vertex [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 2RDF [Formula: see text] is the value [Formula: see text]. The [Formula: see text]-rainbow domination number of a graph [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the minimum weight of a 2RDF of G. The [Formula: see text]-rainbow domination subdivision number [Formula: see text] is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (each edge in [Formula: see text] can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the 2-rainbow domination number. It is conjectured that for any connected graph [Formula: see text] of order [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we first prove this conjecture for some classes of graphs and then we prove that for any connected graph [Formula: see text] of order [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text].

A 2-rainbow dominating function (2-rD function) of a graph \(G=(V,E)\) is a function \(f:V(G)\rightarrow\{\emptyset,\{1\},\{2\},\{1,2\}\}\) having the property that if \(f(x)=\emptyset\), then \(f(N(x))=\{1,2\}\). The 2-rainbow domination number \(\gamma_{r2}(G)\) is the minimum weight of \(\sum_{v\in V(G)}|f(v)|\) taken over all 2-rainbow dominating functions \(f\). An outer-independent 2-rainbow dominating function (OI2-rD function) of a graph \(G\) is a 2-rD function \(f\) for which the set of all \(v\in V(G)\) with \(f(v)=\emptyset\) is independent. The outer independent 2-rainbow domination number \(\gamma_{oir2}(G)\) is the minimum weight of an OI2-rD function of \(G\). In this paper, we study the OI2-rD number of graphs. We give the complexity of the problem OI2-rD of graphs and present lower and upper bounds on \(\gamma_{oir2}(G)\). Moreover, we characterize graphs with some small or large OI2-rD numbers and we also bound this parameter from above for trees in terms of the order, leaves and the number of support vertices and characterize all trees attaining the bound. Finally, we show that any ordered pair \((a,b)\) is realizable as the vertex cover number and OI2-rD numbers of some non-trivial tree if and only if \(a+1\leq b\leq 2a\).

A 2-rainbow dominating function (2RDF) 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} such that for any vertex v ? V(G) with f (v) = ? the condition Uu?N(v) f(u)= {1,2} is fulfilled, where N(v) is the open neighborhood of v. The weight of a 2RDF f is the value ?(f) = ?v?V |f(v)|. The 2-rainbow domination number of a graph G, denoted by r2(G), is the minimum weight of a 2RDF of G. The 2-rainbow domination subdivision number sd?r2(G) is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (each edge in G can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the 2-rainbow domination number. In this paper we prove that for every simple connected graph G of order n ? 3, sd?r2(G)? 3 + min{d2(v)|v?V and d(v)?2} where d2(v) is the number of vertices of G at distance 2 from v.

For a graph [Formula: see text], a double Roman dominating function is a function [Formula: see text] having the property that if [Formula: see text], then vertex [Formula: see text] must have at least two neighbors assigned [Formula: see text] under [Formula: see text] or one neighbor with [Formula: see text], and if [Formula: see text], then vertex [Formula: see text] must have at least one neighbor with [Formula: see text]. The weight of a double Roman dominating function [Formula: see text] is the value [Formula: see text]. The double Roman domination number of a graph [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], equals the minimum weight of a double Roman dominating function on [Formula: see text]. The double Roman domination subdivision number [Formula: see text] of a graph [Formula: see text] is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (each edge in [Formula: see text] can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the double Roman domination number. In this paper, we first show that the decision problem associated with sd[Formula: see text] is NP-hard and then establish upper bounds on the double Roman domination subdivision number for arbitrary graphs.

Let G be a graph with no isolated vertex and f:V(G)→{0,1,2} a function. If f satisfies that every vertex in the set {v∈V(G):f(v)=0} is adjacent to at least one vertex in the set {v∈V(G):f(v)=2}, and if the subgraph induced by the set {v∈V(G):f(v)≥1} has no isolated vertex, then we say that f is a total Roman dominating function on G. The minimum weight ω(f)=∑v∈V(G)f(v) among all total Roman dominating functions f on G is the total Roman domination number of G. In this article we study this parameter for the rooted product graphs. Specifically, we obtain closed formulas and tight bounds for the total Roman domination number of rooted product graphs in terms of domination invariants of the factor graphs involved in this product.

Let G = (V, E) be a graph. The function f : V(G) → {−1, 1} is a signed dominating function if for every vertex v ∈ V(G), ∑x∈NG[v] f(x)≥1. The value of ω(f) = ∑x∈V(G) f(x) is called the weight of f. The signed domination number of G is the minimum weight of a signed dominating function of G. In this paper, we initiate the study of the signed domination numbers of Mycielski graphs and find some upper bounds for this parameter. We also calculate the signed domination number of the Mycielski graph when the underlying graph is a star, a wheel, a fan, a Dutch windmill, a cycle, a path or a complete bipartite graph.
