Let k be a positive integer, and set [ k ] : = { 1 , 2 , … , k } . For a graph G, a k-rainbow dominating function (or kRDF) of G is a mapping f : V ( G ) → 2 [ k ] in such a way that, for any vertex v ∈ V ( G ) with the empty set under f, the condition ⋃ u ∈ N G ( v ) f ( u ) = [ k ] always holds, where N G ( v ) is the open neighborhood of v. The weight of kRDF f of G is the summation of values of all vertices under f. The k-rainbow domination number of G, denoted by γ r k ( G ) , is the minimum weight of a kRDF of G. In this paper, we obtain the k-rainbow domination number of grid P 3 □ P n for k ∈ { 2 , 3 , 4 } .

Let [Formula: see text] be an integer, and let [Formula: see text] be a graph. A k-rainbow dominating function (or [Formula: see text]RDF) of [Formula: see text] is a function [Formula: see text] from the vertex set [Formula: see text] to the family of all subsets of [Formula: see text] such that for very [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], the condition [Formula: see text] is fulfilled, where [Formula: see text] is the open neighborhood of [Formula: see text]. The weight of a [Formula: see text]RDF [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is the value [Formula: see text]. A k-rainbow dominating function [Formula: see text] in a graph with no isolated vertex is called a total k-rainbow dominating function if the subgraph of [Formula: see text] induced by the set [Formula: see text] has no isolated vertices. The total k-rainbow domination number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the minimum weight of the total [Formula: see text]-rainbow dominating function on [Formula: see text]. The total k-rainbow reinforcement number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the minimum number of edges that must be added to [Formula: see text] in order to decrease the total k-rainbow domination number. In this paper, we investigate the properties of total [Formula: see text]-rainbow reinforcement number in graphs. In particular, we present some sharp bounds for [Formula: see text] and we determine the total [Formula: see text]-rainbow reinforcement number of some classes of graphs including paths, cycles and complete bipartite graphs.

A 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) = ? the condition Uu?N(v) f(u)= {1,2} is fulfilled, where N(v) is the open neighborhood of v. The weight of a 2RDF f is the value ?(f) = ?v?V |f(v)|. The 2-rainbow domination number of a graph G, denoted by r2(G), is the minimum weight of a 2RDF of G. The 2-rainbow domination subdivision number sd?r2(G) is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (each edge in G can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the 2-rainbow domination number. In this paper we prove that for every simple connected graph G of order n ? 3, sd?r2(G)? 3 + min{d2(v)|v?V and d(v)?2} where d2(v) is the number of vertices of G at distance 2 from v.

A restrained $k$-rainbow dominating function (R$k$RDF) of a graph $G$ is a function $f$ from the vertex set $V(G)$ to the set of all subsets of the set $\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$ such that for any vertex $v \in V (G)$ with $f(v) = \emptyset$ the conditions $\bigcup_{u \in N(v)} f(u)=\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$ and $|N(v)\cap \{u\in V\mid f(u)=\emptyset\}|\ge 1$ are fulfilled, where $N(v)$ is the open neighborhood of $v$. The weight of a restrained $k$-rainbow dominating function is the value $w(f)=\sum_{v\in V}|f (v)|$. The minimum weight of a restrained $k$-rainbow dominating function of $G$ is called the restrained $k$-rainbow domination number of $G$, denoted by $\gamma_{rrk}(G)$. The restrained $k$-rainbow bondage number $b_{rrk}(G)$ of a graph $G$ with maximum degree at least two is the minimum cardinality of all sets $F \subseteq E(G)$ for which $\gamma_{rrk}(G-F) > \gamma_{rrk}(G)$. In this paper, we initiate the study of the restrained $k$-rainbow bondage number in graphs and we present some sharp bounds for $b_{rr2}(G)$. In addition, we determine the restrained 2-rainbow bondage number of some classes of graphs.

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. A function $f : V(G) \rightarrow \mathcal{P}(\{1, 2, \dotsc, k\})$ is a \textit{$k$-rainbow dominating function} on $G$ if for each vertex $v \in V(G)$ for which $f(v)= \emptyset$, it holds that $\bigcup_{u \in N(v)}f(u) = \{1, 2, \dotsc, k\}$. The weight of a $k$-rainbow dominating function is the value $\sum_{v \in V(G)}|f(v)|$. The \textit{$k$-rainbow domination number} $\gamma_{rk}(G)$ is the minimum weight of a $k$-rainbow dominating function on $G$. In this paper, we initiate the study of $k$-rainbow domination numbers in middle graphs. We define the concept of a middle $k$-rainbow dominating function, obtain some bounds related to it and determine the middle $3$-rainbow domination number of some classes of graphs. We also provide upper and lower bounds for the middle $3$-rainbow domination number of trees in terms of the matching number. In addition, we determine the $3$-rainbow domatic number for the middle graph of paths and cycles.

This paper introduces a general approach to the idea of protection of graphs, which encompasses the known variants of secure domination and introduces new ones. Specifically, we introduce the study of secure w-domination in graphs, where w=(w0,w1,…,wl) is a vector of nonnegative integers such that w0≥1. The secure w-domination number is defined as follows. Let G be a graph and N(v) the open neighborhood of v∈V(G). We say that a function f:V(G)⟶{0,1,…,l} is a w-dominating function if f(N(v))=∑u∈N(v)f(u)≥wi for every vertex v with f(v)=i. The weight of f is defined to be ω(f)=∑v∈V(G)f(v). Given a w-dominating function f and any pair of adjacent vertices v,u∈V(G) with f(v)=0 and f(u)>0, the function fu→v is defined by fu→v(v)=1, fu→v(u)=f(u)−1 and fu→v(x)=f(x) for every x∈V(G)\{u,v}. We say that a w-dominating function f is a secure w-dominating function if for every v with f(v)=0, there exists u∈N(v) such that f(u)>0 and fu→v is a w-dominating function as well. The secure w-domination number of G, denoted by γws(G), is the minimum weight among all secure w-dominating functions. This paper provides fundamental results on γws(G) and raises the challenge of conducting a detailed study of the topic.

A 2-rainbow dominating function (2-rD function) of a graph \(G=(V,E)\) is a function \(f:V(G)\rightarrow\{\emptyset,\{1\},\{2\},\{1,2\}\}\) having the property that if \(f(x)=\emptyset\), then \(f(N(x))=\{1,2\}\). The 2-rainbow domination number \(\gamma_{r2}(G)\) is the minimum weight of \(\sum_{v\in V(G)}|f(v)|\) taken over all 2-rainbow dominating functions \(f\). An outer-independent 2-rainbow dominating function (OI2-rD function) of a graph \(G\) is a 2-rD function \(f\) for which the set of all \(v\in V(G)\) with \(f(v)=\emptyset\) is independent. The outer independent 2-rainbow domination number \(\gamma_{oir2}(G)\) is the minimum weight of an OI2-rD function of \(G\). In this paper, we study the OI2-rD number of graphs. We give the complexity of the problem OI2-rD of graphs and present lower and upper bounds on \(\gamma_{oir2}(G)\). Moreover, we characterize graphs with some small or large OI2-rD numbers and we also bound this parameter from above for trees in terms of the order, leaves and the number of support vertices and characterize all trees attaining the bound. Finally, we show that any ordered pair \((a,b)\) is realizable as the vertex cover number and OI2-rD numbers of some non-trivial tree if and only if \(a+1\leq b\leq 2a\).

Let [Formula: see text] be a positive integer and [Formula: see text] be a simple graph. A restrained [Formula: see text]-rainbow dominating function (R[Formula: see text]RDF) of [Formula: see text] is a function [Formula: see text] from the vertex set [Formula: see text] to the family of all subsets of [Formula: see text], such that every vertex [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] satisfies both of the conditions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] simultaneously, where [Formula: see text] denotes the open neighborhood of [Formula: see text]. The weight of an R[Formula: see text]RDF is the value [Formula: see text]. The restrained[Formula: see text]-rainbow domination number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the minimum weight of an R[Formula: see text]RDF of [Formula: see text]. The restrained[Formula: see text]-rainbow reinforcement number [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], is defined to be the minimum number of edges that must be added to [Formula: see text] in order to decrease the restrained [Formula: see text]-rainbow domination number. In this paper, we determine the restrained [Formula: see text]-rainbow reinforcement number of some special classes of graphs. Also, we present some bounds on the restrained [Formula: see text]-rainbow reinforcement number of general graphs.
