Perfect Roman Domination and Unique Response Roman Domination
The idea of enumeration algorithms with polynomial delay is to polynomially
bound the running time between any two subsequent solutions output by the
enumeration algorithm. While it is open for more than four decades if all
minimal dominating sets of a graph can be enumerated in output-polynomial time,
it has recently been proven that pointwise-minimal Roman dominating functions
can be enumerated even with polynomial delay. The idea of the enumeration
algorithm was to use polynomial-time solvable extension problems. We use this
as a motivation to prove that also two variants of Roman dominating functions
studied in the literature, named perfect and unique response, can be enumerated
with polynomial delay. This is interesting since Extension Perfect Roman
Domination is W[1]-complete if parameterized by the weight of the given
function and even W[2]-complete if parameterized by the number vertices
assigned 0 in the pre-solution, as we prove. Otherwise, efficient solvability
of extension problems and enumerability with polynomial delay tend to go
hand-in-hand. We achieve our enumeration result by constructing a bijection to
Roman dominating functions, where the corresponding extension problem is
polynomimaltime solvable. Furthermore, we show that Unique Response Roman
Domination is solvable in polynomial time on split graphs, while Perfect Roman
Domination is NP-complete on this graph class, which proves that both
variations, albeit coming with a very similar definition, do differ in some
complexity aspects. This way, we also solve an open problem from the
literature
