A quasi-total Roman dominating function on a graph G=(V,E) is a function
f:V→{0,1,2} satisfying the following:
- every vertex u for which f(u)=0 is adjacent to at least one vertex
v for which f(v)=2, and
- if x is an isolated vertex in the subgraph induced by the set of vertices
labeled with 1 and 2, then f(x)=1.
The weight of a quasi-total Roman dominating function is the value
ω(f)=f(V)=∑u∈Vf(u). The minimum weight of a quasi-total Roman
dominating function on a graph G is called the quasi-total Roman domination
number of G. We introduce the quasi-total Roman domination number of graphs
in this article, and begin the study of its combinatorial and computational
properties.
