A new approach on locally checkable problems
By providing a new framework, we extend previous results on locally checkable
problems in bounded treewidth graphs. As a consequence, we show how to solve,
in polynomial time for bounded treewidth graphs, double Roman domination and
Grundy domination, among other problems for which no such algorithm was
previously known. Moreover, by proving that fixed powers of bounded degree and
bounded treewidth graphs are also bounded degree and bounded treewidth graphs,
we can enlarge the family of problems that can be solved in polynomial time for
these graph classes, including distance coloring problems and distance
domination problems (for bounded distances)
A note on the double Roman domination number of graphs
summary:For a graph , a double Roman dominating function is a function having the property that if , then the vertex must have at least two neighbors assigned under or one neighbor with , and if , then the vertex must have at least one neighbor with . The weight of a double Roman dominating function is the sum . The minimum weight of a double Roman dominating function on is called the double Roman domination number of and is denoted by . In this paper, we establish a new upper bound on the double Roman domination number of graphs. We prove that every connected graph with minimum degree at least two and satisfies the inequality . One open question posed by R. A. Beeler et al. has been settled
Signed double Roman domination on cubic graphs
The signed double Roman domination problem is a combinatorial optimization
problem on a graph asking to assign a label from to each
vertex feasibly, such that the total sum of assigned labels is minimized. Here
feasibility is given whenever (i) vertices labeled have at least one
neighbor with label in ; (ii) each vertex labeled has one
-labeled neighbor or at least two -labeled neighbors; and (iii) the sum
of labels over the closed neighborhood of any vertex is positive. The
cumulative weight of an optimal labeling is called signed double Roman
domination number (SDRDN). In this work, we first consider the problem on
general cubic graphs of order for which we present a sharp
lower bound for the SDRDN by means of the discharging method. Moreover, we
derive a new best upper bound. Observing that we are often able to minimize the
SDRDN over the class of cubic graphs of a fixed order, we then study in this
context generalized Petersen graphs for independent interest, for which we
propose a constraint programming guided proof. We then use these insights to
determine the SDRDNs of subcubic grid graphs, among other results
Double Roman domination and domatic numbers of graphs
A double Roman dominating function on a graph with vertex set is defined in \cite{bhh} as a function
having the property that if , then the vertex must have at least two
neighbors assigned 2 under or one neighbor with , and if , then the vertex must have
at least one neighbor with . The weight of a double Roman dominating function is the sum
, and the minimum weight of a double Roman dominating function on is the double Roman
domination number of .
A set of distinct double Roman dominating functions on with the property that
for each is called in \cite{v} a double Roman dominating family (of functions)
on . The maximum number of functions in a double Roman dominating family on is the double Roman domatic number
of .
In this note we continue the study of the double Roman domination and domatic numbers. In particular, we present
a sharp lower bound on , and we determine the double Roman domination and domatic numbers of some
classes of graphs
Advances in Discrete Applied Mathematics and Graph Theory
The present reprint contains twelve papers published in the Special Issue “Advances in Discrete Applied Mathematics and Graph Theory, 2021” of the MDPI Mathematics journal, which cover a wide range of topics connected to the theory and applications of Graph Theory and Discrete Applied Mathematics. The focus of the majority of papers is on recent advances in graph theory and applications in chemical graph theory. In particular, the topics studied include bipartite and multipartite Ramsey numbers, graph coloring and chromatic numbers, several varieties of domination (Double Roman, Quasi-Total Roman, Total 3-Roman) and two graph indices of interest in chemical graph theory (Sombor index, generalized ABC index), as well as hyperspaces of graphs and local inclusive distance vertex irregular graphs
Upper bounds for covering total double Roman domination
Let G = (V, E) be a finite simple graph where V = V (G) and E = E(G). Suppose that G has no isolated vertex. A covering total double Roman dominating function (CT DRD function) f of G is a total double Roman dominating function (T DRD function) of G for which the set {v ∈ V (G)|f(v) ≠ 0} is a covering set. The covering total double Roman domination number γctdR(G) is the minimum weight of a CT DRD function on G. In this work, we present some contributions to the study of γctdR(G)-function of graphs. For the non star trees T, we show that γctdR(T) ≤ 4n(T )+5s(T )−4l(T )/3, where n(T), s(T) and l(T) are the order, the number of support vertices and the number of leaves of T respectively. Moreover, we characterize trees T achieve this bound. Then we study the upper bound of the 2-edge connected graphs and show that, for a 2-edge connected graphs G, γctdR(G) ≤ 4n/3 and finally, we show that, for a simple graph G of order n with δ(G) ≥ 2, γctdR(G) ≤ 4n/3 and this bound is sharp.Publisher's Versio
Domination parameters with number 2: Interrelations and algorithmic consequences
In this paper, we study the most basic domination invariants in graphs, in which number 2 is intrinsic part of their definitions. We classify them upon three criteria, two of which give the following previously studied invariants: the weak 2-domination number, γw2(G), the 2-domination number, γ2(G), the {2}-domination number, γ{2}(G), the double domination number, γ×2(G), the total {2}-domination number, γt{2}(G), and the total double domination number, γt×2(G), where G is a graph in which the corresponding invariant is well defined. The third criterion yields rainbow versions of the mentioned six parameters, one of which has already been well studied, and three other give new interesting parameters. Together with a special, extensively studied Roman domination, γR(G), and two classical parameters, the domination number, γ(G), and the total domination number, γt(G), we consider 13 domination invariants in graphs. In the main result of the paper we present sharp upper and lower bounds of each of the invariants in terms of every other invariant, a large majority of which are new results proven in this paper. As a consequence of the main theorem we obtain new complexity results regarding the existence of approximation algorithms for the studied invariants, matched with tight or almost tight inapproximability bounds, which hold even in the class of split graphs.Fil: Bonomo, Flavia.

Domination parameters with number 2: interrelations and algorithmic consequences
In this paper, we study the most basic domination invariants in graphs, in
which number 2 is intrinsic part of their definitions. We classify them upon
three criteria, two of which give the following previously studied invariants:
the weak -domination number, , the -domination number,
, the -domination number, , the double
domination number, , the total -domination number,
, and the total double domination number, , where is a graph in which a corresponding invariant is well
defined. The third criterion yields rainbow versions of the mentioned six
parameters, one of which has already been well studied, and three other give
new interesting parameters. Together with a special, extensively studied Roman
domination, , and two classical parameters, the domination number,
, and the total domination number, , we consider 13
domination invariants in graphs . In the main result of the paper we present
sharp upper and lower bounds of each of the invariants in terms of every other
invariant, large majority of which are new results proven in this paper. As a
consequence of the main theorem we obtain some complexity results for the
studied invariants, in particular regarding the existence of approximation
algorithms and inapproximability bounds.Comment: 45 pages, 4 tables, 7 figure
