Popis: Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$‎. ‎For any integer $k\ge 1$‎, ‎a signed (total) $k$-dominating function‎ ‎is a function $f‎: ‎V(G) \rightarrow‎ \{ -1, ‎1\}$ satisfying $\sum_{x\in N[v]}f(x)\ge k$ ($\sum_{x\in N(v)}f(x)\ge k$)‎ ‎for every $v\in V(G)$‎, ‎where $N(v)$ is the neighborhood of $v$ and $N[v]=N(v)\cup\{v\}$‎. ‎The minimum of the values‎ ‎$\sum_{v\in V(G)}f(v)$‎, ‎taken over all signed (total) $k$-dominating functions $f$‎, ‎is called the signed (total)‎ ‎$k$-domination number‎. ‎The clique number of a graph $G$ is the maximum cardinality of a complete subgraph of $G$‎. ‎In this note we present some new sharp lower bounds on the signed (total) $k$-domination number‎ ‎depending on the clique number of the graph‎. ‎Our results improve some known bounds.
