Title
A NEW UPPER BOUND FOR THE PERFECT ITALIAN DOMINATION NUMBER OF A TREE
Abstract
A perfect Italian dominating function (PIDF) on a graph G is a function f : V (G) -> {0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that for every vertex u with f(u) = 0, the total weight of f assigned to the neighbors of u is exactly two. The weight of a PIDF is the sum of its functions values over all vertices. The perfect Italian domination number of G, denoted gamma(p)(I)(G), is the minimum weight of a PIDF of G. In this paper, we show that for every tree T of order n >= 3, with l(T) leaves and s(T) support vertices, gamma(p)(I)(T) <= gamma Ip(T)<= 4n-l(T)+2s(T-1)/5, improving a previous bound given by T.W. Haynes and M.A. Henning in [Perfect Italian domination in trees, Discrete Appl. Math. 260 (2019) 164-177].
