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.

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].

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.

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].

Let [Formula: see text] be a positive integer and [Formula: see text] be a simple graph. A restrained [Formula: see text]-rainbow dominating function (R[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 every vertex [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] satisfies both of the conditions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] simultaneously, where [Formula: see text] denotes the open neighborhood of [Formula: see text]. The weight of an R[Formula: see text]RDF is the value [Formula: see text]. The restrained[Formula: see text]-rainbow domination number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the minimum weight of an R[Formula: see text]RDF of [Formula: see text]. The restrained[Formula: see text]-rainbow reinforcement number [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], is defined to be the minimum number of edges that must be added to [Formula: see text] in order to decrease the restrained [Formula: see text]-rainbow domination number. In this paper, we determine the restrained [Formula: see text]-rainbow reinforcement number of some special classes of graphs. Also, we present some bounds on the restrained [Formula: see text]-rainbow reinforcement number of general graphs.

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.

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. A function $f : V(G) \rightarrow \mathcal{P}(\{1, 2, \dotsc, k\})$ is a \textit{$k$-rainbow dominating function} on $G$ if for each vertex $v \in V(G)$ for which $f(v)= \emptyset$, it holds that $\bigcup_{u \in N(v)}f(u) = \{1, 2, \dotsc, k\}$. The weight of a $k$-rainbow dominating function is the value $\sum_{v \in V(G)}|f(v)|$. The \textit{$k$-rainbow domination number} $\gamma_{rk}(G)$ is the minimum weight of a $k$-rainbow dominating function on $G$. In this paper, we initiate the study of $k$-rainbow domination numbers in middle graphs. We define the concept of a middle $k$-rainbow dominating function, obtain some bounds related to it and determine the middle $3$-rainbow domination number of some classes of graphs. We also provide upper and lower bounds for the middle $3$-rainbow domination number of trees in terms of the matching number. In addition, we determine the $3$-rainbow domatic number for the middle graph of paths and cycles.

Let k be a positive integer, and set [ k ] : = { 1 , 2 , … , k } . For a graph G, a k-rainbow dominating function (or kRDF) of G is a mapping f : V ( G ) → 2 [ k ] in such a way that, for any vertex v ∈ V ( G ) with the empty set under f, the condition ⋃ u ∈ N G ( v ) f ( u ) = [ k ] always holds, where N G ( v ) is the open neighborhood of v. The weight of kRDF f of G is the summation of values of all vertices under f. The k-rainbow domination number of G, denoted by γ r k ( G ) , is the minimum weight of a kRDF of G. In this paper, we obtain the k-rainbow domination number of grid P 3 □ P n for k ∈ { 2 , 3 , 4 } .

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.

We have studied the k-rainbow domination number of C n □ C m for k ≥ 4 (Gao et al. 2019), in which we present the 3-rainbow domination number of C n □ C m , which should be bounded above by the four-rainbow domination number of C n □ C m . Therefore, we give a rough bound on the 3-rainbow domination number of C n □ C m . In this paper, we focus on the 3-rainbow domination number of the Cartesian product of cycles, C n □ C m . A 3-rainbow dominating function (3RDF) f on a given graph G is a mapping from the vertex set to the power set of three colors { 1 , 2 , 3 } in such a way that every vertex that is assigned to the empty set has all three colors in its neighborhood. The weight of a 3RDF on G is the value ω ( f ) = ∑ v ∈ V ( G ) | f ( v ) | . The 3-rainbow domination number, γ r 3 ( G ) , is the minimum weight among all weights of 3RDFs on G. In this paper, we determine exact values of the 3-rainbow domination number of C 3 □ C m and C 4 □ C m and present a tighter bound on the 3-rainbow domination number of C n □ C m for n ≥ 5 .

Let G be a simple connected graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). A function f : E(G) → {-1, 1} is called a signed star dominating function (SSDF) on G if ∑e∈E(v) f(e) ≥ 1 for every v ∈ V(G), where E(v) is the set of all edges incident to v. The signed star domination number of G is defined as γ SS (G) = min {∑e∈E(G) f(e) | f is a SSDF on G}. In this paper, we obtain exact values for the signed star domination number for certain classes of Cayley digraphs and Cayley graphs.
