2-Rainbow Domination Number of Some Graphs

2-Rainbow Domination Number of Some Graphs

A 2-rainbow domination function of a graph G is a function f that assigns to each vertex a set of colors chosen from the set {1,2}, such that for any ? ( ), ( ) = ? implies ? ? ( ) | ( )| ={1,2}. The 2-rainbow domination number 2( ) of a graph G is minimum w ( ) = ? ? ( )| ( )|over all such functions f. In this paper, we show that upper bounds of 2-rainbow domination numbers of several classes of graphs.
