The concept of edge magic deficiency was introduce by Kotzig and Rosas. Motivated by this concept Figueroa-Centeno, Ichishima and Muntaner-Batle defined a similar concept for super edge magic total labelings. The super edge magic deficiency of a graph G, which is denoted by μs(G), is the minimum nonnegative integer n such that G∪nK1, has a super edge magic total labeling or it is equal to +∞ if there exists no such n. In this paper, we study the super edge magic deficiency of kite graphs.","PeriodicalId":378960,"journal":{"name":"Ars Comb.","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122264259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A twin signed Roman dominating function (TSRDF) on the digraph $D$ is a function $f:V(D)rightarrow{-1,1,2}$ satisfying the conditions that (i) $sum_{xin N^-[v]}f(x)ge 1$ and $sum_{xin N^+[v]}f(x)ge 1$ for each $vin V(D)$, where $N^-[v]$ (resp. $N^+[v]$) consists of $v$ and all in-neighbors (resp. out-neighbors) of $v$, and (ii) every vertex $u$ for which $f(u)=-1$ has an in-neighbor $v$ and an out-neighbor $w$ for which $f(v)=f(w)=2$. The weight of an TSRDF $f$ is $omega(f)=sum_{vin V(D)}f(v)$. The twin signed Roman domination number $gamma_{sR}^*(D)$ of $D$ is the minimum weight of an TSRDF on $D$. In this paper, we initiate the study of twin signed Roman domination in digraphs and we present some sharp bounds on $gamma_{sR}^*(D)$.

The conditional matching preclusion number of an even graph G, denoted by mp1(G), is the minimum number of edges whose deletion leaves the resulting graph with neither perfect matchings nor isolated vertices. The class of (n,k)-star graphs is a popular class of interconnection networks for which the matching preclusion number and the classification of the corresponding optimal solutions were known. However, the conditional version of this problem was open. In this paper, we determine the conditional matching preclusion for (n,k)-star graphs as well as classify the corresponding optimal solutions via several new results. In addition, an alternate proof of the results on the matching preclusion problem will also be given.","PeriodicalId":378960,"journal":{"name":"Ars Comb.","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126879410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
