| contents | A Roman dominating function of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a labeling $f: V \rightarrow{} \{0 ,1, 2\}$ such that for each vertex $u \in V$ with $f(u) = 0$, there exists a vertex $v \in N(u)$ with $f(v) =2$. A Roman dominating function $f$ is a global Roman dominating function if it is a Roman dominating function for both $G$ and its complement $\overline{G}$. The weight of $f$ is the sum of $f(u)$ over all the vertices $u \in V$. The objective of Global Roman Domination problem is to find a global Roman dominating function with minimum weight. The objective of Global Roman Domination is to compute a global Roman dominating function of minimum weight.
In this paper, we study the algorithmic aspects of Global Roman Domination problem on various graph classes and obtain the following results.
1. We prove that Roman domination and Global Roman Domination problems are not computationally equivalent by identifying graph classes on which one is linear-time solvable, while the other is NP-complete.
2. We show that Global Roman Domination problem is NP-complete on split graphs, thereby resolving an open question posed by Panda and Goyal [Discrete Applied Mathematics, 2023].
3. We prove that Global Roman Domination problem is NP-complete on chordal bipartite graphs, planar bipartite graphs with maximum degree five and circle graphs.
4. On the positive side, we present a linear-time algorithm for Global Roman domination problem on cographs. |
