We obtain new results on 3-rainbow domination numbers of generalized Petersen graphs P(6k,k). In some cases, for some infinite families, exact values are established; in all other cases, the lower and upper bounds with small gaps are given. We also define singleton rainbow domination, where the sets assigned have a cardinality of, at most, one, and provide analogous results for this special case of rainbow domination.

We obtain new results on 2-rainbow domination number of generalized Petersen graphs P(5k,k). In some cases (for some infinite families), exact values are established, and in all other cases lower and upper bounds are given. In particular, it is shown that, for k>3, γr2(P(5k,k))=4k for k≡2,8mod10, γr2(P(5k,k))=4k+1 for k≡5,9mod10, 4k+1≤γr2(P(5k,k))≤4k+2 for k≡1,6,7mod10, and 4k+1≤γr2(P(5k,k))≤4k+3 for k≡0,3,4mod10.

A (total) double dominating set in a graph G is a subset S ⊆ V(G) such that each vertex in V(G) is (total) dominated by at least 2 vertices in S. The (total) double domination number of G is the minimum size of a (total) double dominating set of G. We determine the total double domination numbers and give upper bounds for double domination numbers of generalized Petersen graphs. By applying an integer programming model for double domination numbers of a graph, we have determined some exact values of double domination numbers of these generalized Petersen graphs with small parameters. The result shows that the given upper bounds match these exact values.

We obtain new results on independent 2- and 3-rainbow domination numbers of generalized Petersen graphs P ( n , k ) for certain values of n , k ∈ N . By suitably adjusting and applying a well established technique of tropical algebra (path algebra) we obtain exact 2-independent rainbow domination numbers of generalized Petersen graphs P ( n , 2 ) and P ( n , 3 ) thus confirming a conjecture proposed by Shao et al. In addition, we compute exact 3-independent rainbow domination numbers of generalized Petersen graphs P ( n , 2 ) . The method used here is developed for rainbow domination and for Petersen graphs. However, with some natural modifications, the method used can be applied to other domination type invariants, and to many other classes of graphs including grids and tori.

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 double Roman dominating function on a graph G is a function f : V(G) → {0, 1, 2, 3} 2 with the condition that every vertex u for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v for 3 which f(v) = 3 or two vertices v1 and v2 for which f(v1) = f(v2) = 2, and every vertex u for which 4 f(u) = 1 is adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f(v) ≥ 2. The weight of a double Roman dominating function f is the value w(f) = ∑u∈V(G) 5 f(u). The minimum weight over all double 6 Roman dominating functions on a graph G is called the double Roman domination number γdR(G) 7 of G. In this paper we determine the exact value of the double Roman domination number of the 8 generalized Petersen graphs P(n, 2) by using a discharging approach.

A double Roman dominating function on a graph G=(V,E) is a function f:V→{0,1,2,3} satisfying the condition that every vertex u for which f(u)=0 is adjacent to at least one vertex assigned 3 or at least two vertices assigned 2, and every vertex u with f(u)=1 is adjacent to at least one vertex assigned 2 or 3. The weight of f equals w(f)=∑v∈Vf(v). The double Roman domination number γdR(G) of a graph G equals the minimum weight of a double Roman dominating function of G. We obtain closed expressions for the double Roman domination number of generalized Petersen graphs P(5k,k). It is proven that γdR(P(5k,k))=8k for k≡2,3mod5 and 8k≤γdR(P(5k,k))≤8k+2 for k≡0,1,4mod5. We also improve the upper bounds for generalized Petersen graphs P(20k,k).

A vertex subset [Formula: see text] of a graph [Formula: see text] is a [Formula: see text]-dominating set if each vertex of [Formula: see text] is adjacent to either one or two vertices in [Formula: see text]. The minimum cardinality of a [Formula: see text]-dominating set of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is called the [Formula: see text]-domination number of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, the [Formula: see text]-domination and the [Formula: see text]-total domination numbers of the generalized Petersen graphs [Formula: see text] are determined.

A double Roman dominating function (DRDF) f on a given graph G is a mapping from V ( G ) to { 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 } in such a way that a vertex u for which f ( u ) = 0 has at least a neighbor labeled 3 or two neighbors both labeled 2 and a vertex u for which f ( u ) = 1 has at least a neighbor labeled 2 or 3. The weight of a DRDF f is the value w ( f ) = ∑ u ∈ V ( G ) f ( u ) . The minimum weight of a DRDF on a graph G is called the double Roman domination number γ d R ( G ) of G. In this paper, we determine the exact value of the double Roman domination number of the generalized Petersen graphs P ( n , 2 ) by using a discharging approach.

An Italian dominating function of G is a function f : V ( G ) → { 0 , 1 , 2 } , for every vertex v such that f ( v ) = 0 , it holds that ∑ u ∈ N ( v ) f ( u ) ≥ 2 . The Italian domination number γ I ( G ) is the minimum weight of an Italian dominating function on G. In this paper, we determine the exact values of the Italian domination numbers of P ( n , 3 ) .
