Abstract

Let G=(V,E) be a graph and f:V⟶{0,1,2} be a function. Given a vertex u with f(u)=0, if all neighbors of u have zero weights, then u is called undefended with respect to f. Furthermore, if every vertex u with f(u)=0 has a neighbor v with f(v)>0 and the function f′:V⟶{0,1,2} with f′(u)=1, f′(v)=f(v)−1, f′(w)=f(w) if w∈V∖{u,v} has no undefended vertex, then f is called a weak Roman dominating function. Also, the function f is a perfect Roman dominating function if every vertex u with f(u)=0 is adjacent to exactly one vertex v for which f(v)=2. Let the weight of f be w(f)=∑v∈Vf(v). The weak (resp., perfect) Roman domination number, denoted by γr(G) (resp., γpR(G)), is the minimum weight of the weak (resp., perfect) Roman dominating function in G. In this paper, we characterize those trees where the perfect Roman domination number strongly equals the weak Roman domination number, in the sense that each weak Roman dominating function of minimum weight is, at the same time, perfect Roman dominating.
