Abstract

Interval graphs have drawn the attention of many researchers for over 40 years. They form a special class of graphs with many interesting properties and revealed their practical relevance for modelling problems arising in the real world. The theory of domination in graphs introduced by Ore [1] and Berge [7] has been ever green of graph theory today. An introduction and an extensive overview on domination in graphs and related topics is surveyed and detailed in the two books by Haynes et.al. [2], [3]. A Roman dominating function on a graph G(V,E) is 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. The weight of a Roman dominating function is the value f(v) =Σ vev f(v) The minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on a graph G is called the Roman domination number of G. In this paper a study of Roman domination and Roman domination number of a certain type of Interval graph is carried out.
