Popis: Motivated by the article in Scientific American [7], Michael A Henning and Stephen T Hedetniemi explored the strategy of defending the Roman Empire. Cockayne defined Roman dominating function (RDF) on a Graph G = (V, E) to be a function f : V → {0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that every vertex u for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f(v) = 2. For a real valued function f : V → R the weight of f is w(f) = ∑v∈V f(v). The Roman domination number (RDN) denoted by γR(G) is the minimum weight among all RDF in G. If V – D contains a roman dominating function f1 : V → {0, 1, 2}. "D" is the set of vertices v for which f(v) > 0. Then f1 is called Inverse Roman Dominating function (IRDF) on a graph G w.r.t. f. The inverse roman domination number (IRDN) denoted by [Formula: see text] is the minimum weight among all IRDF in G. In this paper we find few results of IRDN.
