Weighted Roman Domination in Graphs
Analysis
This paper introduces and studies the weighted Roman domination number in weighted graphs, a concept relevant to applications in bioinformatics and computational biology where weights are biologically significant. It addresses a gap in the literature by extending the well-studied concept of Roman domination to weighted graphs. The paper's significance lies in its potential to model and analyze biomolecular structures more accurately.
