Abstract
A total perfect Roman dominating function (TPRDF) on a graph G=(V,E) is a function f from V to {0,1,2} satisfying (i) every vertex v with f(v)=0 is a neighbor of exactly one vertex u with f(u)=2; in addition, (ii) the subgraph of G that is induced by the vertices with nonzero weight has no isolated vertex. The weight of a TPRDF f is ∑v∈Vf(v). The total perfect Roman domination number of G, denoted by γtRp(G), is the minimum weight of a TPRDF on G. In this paper, we initiated the study of total perfect Roman domination. We characterized graphs with the largest-possible γtRp(G). We proved that total perfect Roman domination is NP-complete for chordal graphs, bipartite graphs, and for planar bipartite graphs. Finally, we related γtRp(G) to perfect domination γp(G) by proving γtRp(G)≤3γp(G) for every graph G, and we characterized trees T of order n≥3 for which γtRp(T)=3γp(T). This notion can be utilized to develop a defensive strategy with some properties.
