Let k be a positive integer, and let G be a simple graph with vertex set V (G). A Roman k-dominating function on G is a function f : V (G) $\rightarrow$ {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex u for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least k vertices $\upsilon_1,\;\upsilon_2,\;{\ldots},\;\upsilon_k$ with $f(\upsilon_i)$ = 2 for i = 1, 2, $\ldot$, k. The weight of a Roman k-dominating function is the value f(V (G)) = $\sum_{u{\in}v(G)}$ f(u). The minimum weight of a Roman k-dominating function on a graph G is called the Roman k-domination number ${\gamma}_{kR}$(G) of G. Note that the Roman 1-domination number $\gamma_{1R}$(G) is the usual Roman domination number $\gamma_R$(G). In this paper, we investigate the properties of the Roman k-domination number. Some of our results extend these one given by Cockayne, Dreyer Jr., S. M. Hedetniemi, and S. T. Hedetniemi [2] in 2004 for the Roman domination number.

Let γt(G) and τ(G) denote the total domination number and vertex cover number of graph G, respectively. In this paper, we study the total domination number of the central tree C(T) for a tree T. First, a relationship between the total domination number of C(T) and the vertex cover number of tree T is discussed. We characterize the central trees with equal total domination number and independence number. Applying the first result, we improve the upper bound on the total domination number of C(T) and solve one open problem posed by Kazemnejad et al..

A subset S of V (G), where G is a graph without isolated vertices, is a double dominating set of G if for each $x{{\in}}V(G)$, ${\mid}N_G[x]{\cap}S{\mid}{\geq}2$. This paper, shows that any positive integers a, b and n with $2{\leq}a<b$, $b{\geq}2a$ and $n{\geq}b+2a-2$, can be realized as domination number, double domination number and order, respectively. It also characterize the double dominating sets in the Cartesian and tensor products of two graphs and determine sharp bounds for the double domination numbers of these graphs. In particular, it show that if G and H are any connected non-trivial graphs of orders n and m respectively, then ${\gamma}_{{\times}2}(G{\square}H){\leq}min\{m{\gamma}_2(G),n{\gamma}_2(H)\}$, where ${\gamma}_2$, is the 2-domination parameter.

For a given graph G = (V, E), a set $D{\subseteq}V(G)$ is said to be an outer-connected vertex edge dominating set if D is a vertex edge dominating set and the graph $G{\backslash}D$ is connected. The outer-connected vertex edge domination number of a graph G, denoted by ${\gamma}^{oc}_{ve}(G)$, is the cardinality of a minimum outer connected vertex edge dominating set of G. We characterize trees T of order n with l leaves, s support vertices, for which ${\gamma}^{oc}_{ve}(T)=(n-l+s+1)/3$ and also characterize trees with equal domination number and outer-connected vertex edge domination number.

Let G be a graph with no isolated vertex. A total dominating set, abbreviated TDS of G is a subset S of vertices of G such that every vertex of G is adjacent to a vertex in S. The total domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a TDS of G. In this paper, we study the total domination number of central graphs. Indeed, we obtain some tight bounds for the total domination number of a central graph C(G) in terms of some invariants of the graph G. Also we characterize the total domination number of the central graph of some families of graphs such as path graphs, cycle graphs, wheel graphs, complete graphs and complete multipartite graphs, explicitly. Moreover, some Nordhaus-Gaddum-like relations are presented for the total domination number of central graphs.

A pebbling move on a connected graph G is taking two pebbles off of one vertex and placing one of them on an adjacent vertex. The domination cover pebbling number ${\psi}(G)$ is the minimum number of pebbles required so that any initial configuration of pebbles can be transformed by a sequence of pebbling moves so that the set of vertices that contain pebbles forms a domination set of G. We determine the domination cover pebbling number for fans, fuses, and pseudo-star.

In this paper, we introduce a fractional domination game arising from fractional domination problems on graphs and focus on its balancedness and concavity. We first characterize the core of the fractional domination game and show that its core is always non-empty taking use of dual theory of linear programming. Furthermore we study concavity of this game.

A set D ⊆ V (G) is an independent transversal dominating set of G if D is a dominating set and also intersects every maximum independent set in G. The minimum cardinality of such a set is equal to the transversal domination number, denoted by ��it(G). This paper is devoted to the computation of the independent transversal domination number of some complementary prism.

A cooperative game often arises from domination problem on graphs and the core in a cooperative game could be the optimal solution of a linear programming of a given game. In this paper, we define a {k}-fractional domination game which is a specific type of fractional domination games and find the core of a {k}-fractional domination game. Moreover, we may investigate the balancedness of a {k}-fractional domination game using a concept of a linear programming and duality. We also conjecture the concavity for {k}-fractional dominations game which is important problem to find the elements of the core.

The political system of Xi Jinping which was launched in 2013, faced many difficulties both domestically and internationally. Xi Jinping must integrate and stabilize society through political reforms, such as sustained economic growth and Resolved corruption. In addition, he should seek new relations with the United States on the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. Therefore, this study analyzed political leadership of Chinese political leaders including Xi Jinping using Max Weber 's political domination type. From the first generation political leaders to the fourth generation political leaders in China, the types of political domination of the first and second generation political leaders tend to be charismatic rather than legitimate domination. But the third generation political leaders tend to have a tendency of traditional domination rather than legitimate domination, and the fourth generation political leaders have a tendency to dominate more than traditional domination. On the other hand, the type of political domination of Xi Jinping shows traditional domination and legitimate domination tendency in the process of political growth and emergence, but shows tendency of charismatic domination after domination of political power.
