Abstract
Abstract A perfect Italian dominating function (PIDF) on a graph G is a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that for every vertex u with f(u) = 0, the total weight of f assigned to the neighbors of u is exactly two. The weight of a PIDF is the sum of its functions values over all vertices. The perfect Italian domination number of G, denoted γIp(G) \gamma _I^p\left( G \right) , is the minimum weight of a PIDF of G. In this paper, we show that for every tree T of order n ≥ 3, with ℓ(T) leaves and s(T) support vertices, γpI(T) ≤ γIp(T)≤4n-l(T)+2s(T-1)5 \gamma _I^p\left( T \right) \le {{4n - \mathcal{l}\left( T \right) + 2s\left( {T - 1} \right)} \over 5} , improving a previous bound given by T.W. Haynes and M.A. Henning in [Perfect Italian domination in trees, Discrete Appl. Math. 260 (2019) 164–177].
期刊介绍:
The Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory publishes high-quality refereed original papers. Occasionally, very authoritative expository survey articles and notes of exceptional value can be published. The journal is mainly devoted to the following topics in Graph Theory: colourings, partitions (general colourings), hereditary properties, independence and domination, structures in graphs (sets, paths, cycles, etc.), local properties, products of graphs as well as graph algorithms related to these topics.
