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 Roman (Total) Domination Numbers of Complete Bipartite Graphs and Wheels

A signed(res. signed total) Roman dominating function, SRDF(res.STRDF) for short, of a graph G =(V, E) is a function f : V → {-1, 1, 2} satisfying the conditions that(i)∑v∈N[v]f(v) ≥ 1(res.∑v∈N(v)f(v) ≥ 1) for any v ∈ V, where N [v] is the closed neighborhood and N(v) is the neighborhood of v, and(ii) every vertex v for which f(v) =-1 is adjacent to a vertex u for which f(u) = 2. The weight of a SRDF(res. STRDF) is the sum of its function values over all vertices.The signed(res. signed total) Roman domination number of G is the minimum weight among all signed(res. signed total) Roman dominating functions of G. In this paper,we compute the exact values of the signed(res. signed total) Roman domination numbers of complete bipartite graphs and wheels.

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 domination in nearly regular graphs

A function f： V（ G）→{1,1} defined on the vertices of a graph G is a signed total dominating function （STDF） if the sum of its function values over any open neighborhood is at least one. An STDF f is minimal if there does not extst a STDF g： V（G）→{-1,1}, f≠g, for which g （ v ）≤f（ v ） for every v∈V（ G ）. The weight of a STDF is the sum of its function values over all vertices. The signed total domination number of G is the minimum weight of a STDF of G, while the upper signed domination number of G is the maximum weight of a minimal STDF of G, In this paper, we present sharp upper bounds on the upper signed total domination number of a nearly regular graph.

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.

Dominating functions with integer values in graphs a survey

For an arbitrary subset P of the reals, a function f ： V →P is defined to be a P-dominating function of a graph G = （V, E） if the sum of its function values over any closed neighbourhood is at least 1. That is, for every v ∈ V, f（N[v]） ≥ 1. The definition of total P-dominating function is obtained by simply changing ‘closed＇ neighborhood N[v] in the definition of P-dominating function to ‘open＇ neighborhood N（v）. The （total） P-domination number of a graph G is defined to be the infimum of weight w（f） = ∑v ∈ V f（v） taken over all （total） P-dominating function f. Similarly, the P-edge and P-star dominating functions can be defined. In this paper we survey some recent progress on the topic of dominating functions in graph theory. Especially, we are interested in P-, P-edge and P-star dominating functions of graphs with integer values.

On Signed Edge Total Domination Numbers of Graphs

Let G = （V,E） be a graph.A function f ： E → {-1,1} is said to be a signed edge total dominating function （SETDF） of G if e ∈N（e） f（e ） ≥ 1 holds for every edge e ∈ E（G）.The signed edge total domination number γ st （G） of G is defined as γ st （G） = min{ e∈E（G） f（e）｜f is an SETDF of G}.In this paper we obtain some new lower bounds of γ st （G）.

Let G = （V, E） be a simple graph. A function f ： E → {＋1,-1} is called a signed cycle domination function （SCDF） of G if ∑e∈E（C） f（e） ≥ 1 for every induced cycle C of G. The signed cycle domination number of G is defined as γ′sc（G） = min{∑e∈E f（e）｜ f is an SCDF of G}. This paper will characterize all maxima] planar graphs G with order n ≥ 6 and γ′sc（G） =n.

Minus domination number in cubic graph

An upper bound is established on the parameter Γ -(G) for a cubic graph G and two infinite families of 3-connected graphs G k, G * k are constructed to show that the bound is sharp and, moreover, the difference Γ -(G * k)-γ s(G * k) can be arbitrarily large, where Г -(G * k) and γ s(G * k) are the upper minus domination and signed domination numbers of G * k, respectively. Thus two open problems are solved.
