This paper is devoted to the study of the quadruple Roman domination in trees, and it is a contribution to the Special Issue “Theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics” of Symmetry. For any positive integer k, a [k]-Roman dominating function ([k]-RDF) of a simple graph G is a function from the vertex set V of G to the set {0,1,2,…,k+1} if for any vertex u∈V with f(u)<k, ∑x∈N(u)∪{u}f(x)≥|{x∈N(u):f(x)≥1}|+k, where N(u) is the open neighborhood of u. The weight of a [k]-RDF is the value Σv∈Vf(v). The minimum weight of a [k]-RDF is called the [k]-Roman domination number γ[kR](G) of G. In this paper, we establish sharp upper and lower bounds on γ[4R](T) for nontrivial trees T and characterize extremal trees.

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph with vertex set $V$ and edge set $E$. A mixed Roman dominating function (MRDF) of $G$ is a function $f:V\cup E\rightarrow \{0,1,2\}$ satisfying the condition that every element $x\in V\cup E$ for which $f(x)=0$ is adjacent or incident to at least one element $% y\in V\cup E$ for which $f(y)=2$. The weight of a mixed Roman dominating function $f$ is $\omega (f)=\sum_{x\in V\cup E}f(x)$. The mixed Roman domination number $\gamma _{R}^{\ast }(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum weight of a mixed Roman dominating function of $G$. We first show that the problem of computing $\gamma _{R}^{\ast }(G)$ is NP-complete for bipartite graphs and then we present upper and lower bounds on the mixed Roman domination number, some of them are for the class of trees.

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.

Let [Formula: see text] be a graph with the vertex set [Formula: see text]. A function [Formula: see text] is called a Roman dominating function of [Formula: see text], if every vertex [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] is adjacent to at least one vertex [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text]. The weight of a Roman dominating function [Formula: see text] is equal to [Formula: see text]. The minimum weight of a Roman dominating function of [Formula: see text] is called the Roman domination number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we initiate the study of a variant of Roman dominating functions. A function [Formula: see text] is called an isolate Roman dominating function of [Formula: see text], if [Formula: see text] is a Roman dominating function and there is a vertex [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] which is not adjacent to any vertex [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text]. The minimum weight of an isolate Roman dominating function of [Formula: see text] is called the isolate Roman domination number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text]. We present some upper bound on the isolate Roman domination number of a graph [Formula: see text] in terms of its Roman domination number and its domination number. Moreover, we present some classes of graphs [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text]. Finally, we show that the decision problem associated with the isolate Roman dominating functions is NP-complete for bipartite graphs and chordal graphs.

Let G be a graph with vertex set V(G). A function f: V(G) → {0, 1, 2} with the ordered partition (V0, V1, V2) of V(G), where Vi = {V∈V(G) | f(V) = i} for i = 0, 1, 2, is a Roman dominating function if x ∈ V0 implies |N(x)∩V2|≥ 1. It is a unique response Roman function if x ∈ V0 implies |N(x) ≥ V2|≤ 1 and x ∈ V1 ∪ V2 implies that |N(x) ∩ V2| = 0. A function f: V(G) → {0, 1, 2} is a unique response Roman dominating function if it is both a unique response Roman function and a Roman dominating function. The unique response Roman domination number, denoted by uR(G), of G is the minimum weight of a unique response Roman dominating function. In this paper we study the unique response Roman domination of graphs, and provide some graphs whose unique response Roman domination number equals to the independent Roman domination number.

Let G be a graph with no isolated vertex and f:V(G)→{0,1,2} a function. Let Vi={v∈V(G):f(v)=i} for every i∈{0,1,2}. The function f is an outer-independent Roman dominating function on G if V0 is an independent set and every vertex in V0 is adjacent to at least one vertex in V2. The minimum weight ω(f)=∑v∈V(G)f(v) among all outer-independent Roman dominating functions f on G is the outer-independent Roman domination number of G. This paper is devoted to the study of the outer-independent Roman domination number of a graph, and it is a contribution to the special issue “Theoretical Computer Science and Discrete Mathematics” of Symmetry. In particular, we obtain new tight bounds for this parameter, and some of them improve some well-known results. We also provide closed formulas for the outer-independent Roman domination number of rooted product graphs.

Let G be a graph with no isolated vertex and let N(v) be the open neighbourhood of v∈V(G). Let f:V(G)→{0,1,2} be a function and Vi={v∈V(G):f(v)=i} for every i∈{0,1,2}. We say that f is a strongly total Roman dominating function on G if the subgraph induced by V1∪V2 has no isolated vertex and N(v)∩V2≠∅ for every v∈V(G)\V2. The strongly total Roman domination number of G, denoted by γtRs(G), is defined as the minimum weight ω(f)=∑x∈V(G)f(x) among all strongly total Roman dominating functions f on G. This paper is devoted to the study of the strongly total Roman domination number of a graph and it is a contribution to the Special Issue “Theoretical Computer Science and Discrete Mathematics” of Symmetry. In particular, we show that the theory of strongly total Roman domination is an appropriate framework for investigating the total Roman domination number of lexicographic product graphs. We also obtain tight bounds on this parameter and provide closed formulas for some product graphs. Finally and as a consequence of the study, we prove that the problem of computing γtRs(G) is NP-hard.
