Let G = (V,E) be a graph of order n and let γR(G) and ∂(G) denote the Roman domination number and the differential of G, respectively. In this paper we prove that for any integer k ≥ 0, if G is a graph of order n ≥ 6k+9, minimum degree δ ≥ 2, which does not contain any induced {C5, C8, . . . , C3k+2}-cycles, then γR(G) ≤ (4k+8)n 6k+11 . This bound is an improvement of the bounds given in [E.W. Chambers, B. Kinnersley, N. Prince, and D.B. West, Extremal problems for Roman domination, SIAM J…

It is proved that for any graph G with order n ≥ 9 and minimum degree two, ∂ ( G) ≥ 3 γ ( G ) 4 , consequently, γ R ( G ), where γ is the domination number of G and these two parameters are complementary with respect to the order n of the graph.

This technical combinatorial theorem can be used to derive an even smaller linear vertex kernel for general graphs and it is shown that the related maximization problem allows for a polynomial-time factor-14 approximation algorithm.
