A graph could be understood as a sensor network, in which the vertices represent the sensors and two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding devices can communicate with each other. For a network G, a 2-dominating function on G is a function f : V(G) → [0, 1] such that each vertex assigned with 0 has at least two neighbors assigned with 1. The weight of f is Σ_u∈V(G) f (u), and the minimum weight over all 2-dominating functions is the 2-domination number of G. The 2-dominating set problem consists of finding the 2-domination number of a graph and it was proposed to model the fault tolerance of a sensor network. In this paper, we determined substantial 2-domination numbers of 2-dimensional meshes, cylinders, tori and hypercubes.

A dominating set in a graph G is a set of vertices S ⊆ V ( G ) such that any vertex of V − S is adjacent to at least one vertex of S . A dominating set S of G is said to be a perfect dominating set if each vertex in V − S is adjacent to exactly one vertex in S. The minimum cardinality of a perfect dominating set is the perfect domination number γ p ( G ) . A function f : V ( G ) → { 0 , 1 , 2 } is a perfect Roman dominating function (PRDF) on G if every vertex u ∈ V for which f ( u ) = 0 is adjacent to exactly one vertex v for which f ( v ) = 2 . The weight of a PRDF is the sum of its function values over all vertices, and the minimum weight of a PRDF of G is the perfect Roman domination number γ R p ( G ) . In this paper, we prove that for any nontrivial tree T, γ R p ( T ) ≥ γ p ( T ) + 1 and we characterize all trees attaining this bound.

An eternal dominating set of a graph G is a set of guards distributed on the vertices of a dominating set so that each vertex can be occupied by one guard only. These guards can defend any infinite series of attacks, an attack is defended by moving one guard along an edge from its position to the attacked vertex. We consider the “all guards move” of the eternal dominating set problem, in which one guard has to move to the attacked vertex, and all the remaining guards are allowed to move to an adjacent vertex or stay in their current positions after each attack in order to form a dominating set on the graph and at each step can be moved after each attack. The “all guards move model” is called the m -eternal domination model. The size of the smallest m -eternal dominating set is called the m -eternal domination number and is denoted by γ m ∞ G . In this paper, we find the domination number of Jahangir graph J s , m for s ≡ 1 , 2   mod   3 , and the m -eternal domination numbers of J s , m for s , m are arbitraries.

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph G is a function f : V (G) ? {0,1,2} satisfying the condition that every vertex u with f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v of G for which f(v) = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is the sum f(V) = ?v?V f(v), and the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function f is the Roman domination number ?R(G). An RDF f is called an independent Roman dominating function (IRDF) if the set of vertices assigned positive values under f is independent. The independent Roman domination number iR(G) is the minimum weight of an IRDF on G. We show that for every nontrivial connected graph G with maximum degree ?, ?R(G)? ?+1/??(G) and iR(G) ? i(G) + ?(G)/?, where ?(G) and i(G) are, respectively, the domination and independent domination numbers of G. Moreover, we characterize the connected graphs attaining each lower bound. We give an additional lower bound for ?R(G) and compare our two new bounds on ?R(G) with some known lower bounds.

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.

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 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.

Let G = (V, E) be a graph and let k be a positive integer. A Roman k-dominating function ( R k-DF) on G is a function f : V(G) → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex u for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least k vertices v1, v2, …, vk with f(vi) = 2 for i = 1, 2, …, k. The weight of an R k-DF is the value f(V(G)) = ∑u∈V(G) f(u) and the minimum weight of an R k-DF on G is called the Roman k-domination number γkR(G) of G. In this paper, we present relations between γkR(G) and γR(G). Moreover, we give characterizations of some classes of graphs attaining equality in these relations. Finally, we establish a relation between γkR(G) and γR(G) for {K1,3, K1,3+e}-free graphs and we characterize all such graphs G with γkR(G) = γR(G)+t, where [Formula: see text].

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].
