Given a graph G without isolated vertices, a total Roman dominating function for G is a function f:V(G)→{0,1,2} such that every vertex u with f(u)=0 is adjacent to a vertex v with f(v)=2, and the set of vertices with positive labels induces a graph of minimum degree at least one. The total Roman domination number γtR(G) of G is the smallest possible value of ∑v∈V(G)f(v) among all total Roman dominating functions f. The total Roman domination number of the direct product G×H of the graphs G and H is studied in this work. Specifically, several relationships, in the shape of upper and lower bounds, between γtR(G×H) and some classical domination parameters for the factors are given. Characterizations of the direct product graphs G×H achieving small values (≤7) for γtR(G×H) are presented, and exact values for γtR(G×H) are deduced, while considering various specific direct product classes.

In this article, we obtain general bounds and closed formulas for the secure total domination number of rooted product graphs. The results are expressed in terms of parameters of the factor graphs involved in the rooted product.

During the last few decades, domination theory has been one of the most active areas of research within graph theory. Currently, there are more than 4400 published papers on domination and related parameters. In the case of total domination, there are over 580 published papers, and 50 of them concern the case of product graphs. However, none of these papers discusses the case of rooted product graphs. Precisely, the present paper covers this gap in the theory. Our goal is to provide closed formulas for the total domination number of rooted product graphs. In particular, we show that there are four possible expressions for the total domination number of a rooted product graph, and we characterize the graphs reaching these expressions.

For any integer [Formula: see text], a minus total [Formula: see text]-dominating function is a function [Formula: see text] satisfying [Formula: see text] for every [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text]. The minimum of the values of [Formula: see text], taken over all minus total [Formula: see text]-dominating functions [Formula: see text], is called the minus total [Formula: see text]-domination number and is denoted by [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we initiate the study of minus total [Formula: see text]-domination in graphs, and we present different sharp bounds on [Formula: see text]. In addition, we determine the minus total [Formula: see text]-domination number of some classes of graphs. Some of our results are extensions of known properties of the minus total domination number [Formula: see text].

A subset [Formula: see text] of vertices in a hypergraph [Formula: see text] is a transversal if [Formula: see text] has a nonempty intersection with every edge of [Formula: see text]. The transversal number of [Formula: see text] is the minimum size of a transversal in [Formula: see text]. A subset [Formula: see text] of vertices in a graph [Formula: see text] with no isolated vertex, is a total dominating set if every vertex of [Formula: see text] is adjacent to a vertex of [Formula: see text]. The minimum cardinality of a total dominating set in [Formula: see text] is the total domination number of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we obtain a new (improved) probabilistic upper bound for the transversal number of a hypergraph, and a new (improved) probabilistic upper bound for the total domination number of a graph.
