Abstract
A perfect Roman dominating function on a graph G is a function f:V(G)→{0,1,2} satisfying the condition that every vertex u with f(u)=0 is adjacent to exactly one vertex v for which f(v)=2. The weight of a perfect Roman dominating function f is the sum of the weights of the vertices. The perfect Roman domination number of G, denoted γRp(G), is the minimum weight of a perfect Roman dominating function in G. We show that if G is a tree on n≥3 vertices, then γRp(G)≤[Formula presented]n, and we characterize the trees achieving equality in this bound.
