On Signed Domination of Grid Graph

Let G(V, E) be a finite connected simple graph with vertex set V(G). A function is a signed dominating function f : V(G)→{−1,1} if for every vertex v ∈ V(G), the sum of closed neighborhood weights of v is greater or equal to 1. The signed domination number γs(G) of G is the minimum weight of a signed dominating function on G. In this paper, we calculate the signed domination numbers of the Cartesian product of two paths Pm and Pn for m = 6, 7 and arbitrary n.

Signed Total Domination in Graphs

Let G=(V,E) be a simple graph. For any real valued function f:V →R, the weight of f is f(V) = ∑f(v) over all vertices v∈V . A signed total dominating function is a function f:V→{-1,1} such that f(N(v)) ≥1 for every vertex v∈V . The signed total domination number of a graph G equals the minimum weight of a signed total dominating function on G . In this paper, some properties of the signed total domination number of a graph G are discussed.

Signed total domatic number of a graph

Let G = （V, E） be a graph, and let f ： V →{-1, 1} be a two-valued function. If ∑x∈N（v） f（x） ≥ 1 for each v ∈ V, where N（v） is the open neighborhood of v, then f is a signed total dominating function on G. A set {fl, f2,… fd} of signed d total dominating functions on G with the property that ∑i=1^d fi（x） ≤ 1 for each x ∈ V, is called a signed total dominating family （of functions） on G. The maximum number of functions in a signed total dominating family on G is the signed total domatic number on G, denoted by dt^s（G）. The properties of the signed total domatic number dt^s（G） are studied in this paper. In particular, we give the sharp bounds of the signed total domatic number of regular graphs, complete bipartite graphs and complete graphs.

In this paper we obtain some lower bounds for minus and signed domination numbers. We also prove and generalize a conjecture on the minus domination number for bipartite graph of order n, which was proposed by Jean Dunbar et al [1].

A lower bound on the total signed domination numbers of graphs

Let G be a finite connected simple graph with a vertex set V (G) and an edge set E(G). A total signed domination function of G is a function f : V (G) ∪ E(G) → {?1, 1}. The weight of f is w(f) = Σ x∈V(G)∪E(G) f(x). For an element x ∈ V (G) ∪ E(G), we define $f[x] = \sum\nolimits_{y \in N_T [x]} {f(y)} $ . A total signed domination function of G is a function f : V (G) ∪ E(G) → {?1, 1} such that f[x] ? 1 for all x ∈ V (G) ∪ E(G). The total signed domination number γ s * (G) of G is the minimum weight of a total signed domination function on G.In this paper, we obtain some lower bounds for the total signed domination number of a graph G and compute the exact values of γ s * (G) when G is C n and P n .
