Rainbow domination and related problems on some classes of perfect graphs
Let and let be a graph. A function is a rainbow function if, for every vertex with
, . The rainbow domination number
is the minimum of over all rainbow
functions. We investigate the rainbow domination problem for some classes of
perfect graphs
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
Maximal 2-rainbow domination number of a graph
AbstractA 2-rainbow dominating function (2RDF) of 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)=0̸ the condition ⋃u∈N(v)f(u)={1,2} is fulfilled, where N(v) is the open neighborhood of v. A maximal 2-rainbow dominating function on a graph G is a 2-rainbow dominating function f such that the set {w∈V(G)|f(w)=0̸} is not a dominating set of G. The weight of a maximal 2RDF f is the value ω(f)=∑v∈V|f(v)|. The maximal 2-rainbow domination number of a graph G, denoted by γmr(G), is the minimum weight of a maximal 2RDF of G. In this paper we initiate the study of maximal 2-rainbow domination number in graphs. We first show that the decision problem is NP-complete even when restricted to bipartite or chordal graphs, and then, we present some sharp bounds for γmr(G). In addition, we determine the maximal rainbow domination number of some graphs
Italian Domination in Complementary Prisms
Let be any graph and let be its complement. The complementary prism of is formed from the disjoint union of a graph and its complement by adding the edges of a perfect matching between the corresponding vertices of and . An Italian dominating function on a graph is a function such that and for each vertex for which , it holds that . The weight of an Italian dominating function is the value . The minimum weight of all such functions on is called the Italian domination number. In this thesis we will study Italian domination in complementary prisms. First we will present an error found in one of the references. Then we will define the small values of the Italian domination in complementary prisms, find the value of the Italian domination number in specific families of graphs complementary prisms, and conclude with future problems
