If $G$ is a graph with vertex set $V(G)$, then let $Nu$ be the closed neighborhood of the vertex $u\in V(G)$. A total double Italian dominating function (TDIDF) on a graph $G$ is a function ...$f:V(G)\rightarrow\{0,1,2,3\}$ satisfying (i) $f(Nu)\ge 3$ for every vertex $u\in V(G)$ with $f(u)\in\{0,1\}$ and (ii) the subgraph induced by the vertices with a non-zero label has no isolated vertices. A TDIDF is an outer-independent total double Italian dominating function (OITDIDF) on $G$ if the set of vertices labeled $0$ induces an edgeless subgraph. The weight of an OITDIDF is the sum of its function values over all vertices, and the outer independent total double Italian domination number $\gamma_{tdI}^{oi}(G)$ is the minimum weight of an OITDIDF on $G$. In this paper, we establish various bounds on $\gamma_{tdI}^{oi}(G)$, and we determine this parameter for some special classes of graphs.
Let k ≥ 1 be an integer. A signed total Roman k-dominating function on a graph G is a function f : V (G) → {−1, 1, 2} such that Ʃ
f(u) ≥ k for every v ∈ V (G), where N(v) is the neighborhood of v, ...and every vertex u ∈ V (G) for which f(u) = −1 is adjacent to at least one vertex w for which f(w) = 2. A set {f
, f
, . . . , f
} of distinct signed total Roman k-dominating functions on G with the property that Ʃ
f
(v) ≤ k for each v ∈ V (G), is called a signed total Roman k-dominating family (of functions) on G. The maximum number of functions in a signed total Roman k-dominating family on G is the signed total Roman k-domatic number of G, denoted by d
(G). In this paper we initiate the study of signed total Roman k-domatic numbers in graphs, and we present sharp bounds for d
(G). In particular, we derive some Nordhaus-Gaddum type inequalities. In addition, we determine the signed total Roman k-domatic number of some graphs.

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$. An \textit{Italian dominating function} (IDF) on a graph $G$ is a function $f:V(G)\longrightarrow \{0,1,2\}$ such that every vertex $v$ with $f(v)=0$ is ...adjacent to a vertex $u$ with $f(u)=2$ or to two vertices $w$ and $z$ with $f(w)=f(z)=1$. An IDF $f$ is called a \textit{total Italian dominating function} if every vertex $v$ with $f(v)\ge 1$ is adjacent to a vertex $u$ with $f(u)\ge 1$. A set $\{f_1,f_2,\ldots,f_d\}$ of distinct total Italian dominating functions on $G$ with the property that $\sum_{i=1}^df_i(v)\le 2$ for each vertex $v\in V(G)$, is called a \textit{total Italian dominating family} (of functions) on $G$. The maximum number of functions in a total Italian dominating family on $G$ is the \textit{total Italian domatic number} of $G$, denoted by $d_{tI}(G)$. In this paper, we initiate the study of the total Italian domatic number and present different sharp bounds on $d_{tI}(G)$. In addition, we determine this parameter for some classes of graphs.

Let $G$ be a simple graph with vertex set $V$. A double Roman dominating function (DRDF) on $G$ is a function $f:V\rightarrow\{0,1,2,3\}$ satisfying that if $f(v)=0$, then the vertex $v$ must be ...adjacent to at least two vertices assigned $2$ or one vertex assigned $3$ under $f$, whereas if $f(v)=1$, then the vertex $v$ must be adjacent to at least one vertex assigned $2$ or $3$. The weight of a DRDF $f$ is the sum $\sum_{v\in V}f(v)$. A total double Roman dominating function (TDRDF) on a graph $G$ with no isolated vertex is a DRDF $f$ on $G$ with the additional property that the subgraph of $G$ induced by the set $\{v\in V:f(v)\ne0\}$ has no isolated vertices. The total double Roman domination number $\gamma_{tdR}(G)$ is the minimum weight of a TDRDF on $G$. In this paper, we give several relations between the total double Roman domination number of a graph and other domination parameters and we determine the total double Roman domination number of some classes of graphs.
