Abstract

A quasi-total Roman dominating function (QTRD-function) on is a function such that (i) every vertex x for which f(x) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f(v) = 2, and (ii) if x is an isolated vertex in the subgraph induced by the set of vertices with non-zero values, then f(x) = 1. The weight of a QTRD-function is the sum of its function values over the whole set of vertices, and the quasi-total Roman domination number is the minimum weight of a QTRD-function on G. The quasi-total Roman bondage number of a graph G is the minimum number of edges that have to be deleted to G in order to increase the quasi-total Roman domination number. In this paper, we start the study of quasi-total Roman bondage in graphs. We first show that the decision problem associated with the quasi-total Roman bondage problem is NP-hard even when restricted to bipartite graphs. Then basic properties of the quasi-total Roman bondage number are provided. Finally, some sharp bounds for are also presented.
