Abstract :
Let G be a nite and simple graph with vertex set V (G). A nonnegative
signed total Roman dominating function (NNSTRDF) on a graph G is a function
f : V (G) ! f 1; 1; 2g satisfying the conditions that (i) Px2N(v) f(x) ≥ 0 for each
v 2 V (G), where N(v) is the open neighborhood of v, and (ii) every vertex u for which
f(u) = -1 has a neighbor v for which f(v) = 2. The weight of an NNSTRDF f
is !(f) =P v2V (G) f(v). The nonnegative signed total Roman domination number
NN stR (G) of G is the minimum weight of an NNSTRDF on G. In this paper we initiate
the study of the nonnegative signed total Roman domination number of graphs, and
we present dierent bounds on NN stR (G). We determine the nonnegative signed total
Roman domination number of some classes of graphs. If n is the order and m is
the size of the graph G, then we show that NN stR (G) ≥ 3 4 (p8n + 1 + 1) - n and
NN stR (G) ≥ (10n - 12m)=5. In addition, if G is a bipartite graph of order n, then we
prove that NN stR (G) ≥ 3 2 (p4n + 1 - 1) - n.
