Abstract

A function  is called a Perfect Italian dominating function (PIDF) of a graph  if  for every vertex  with . The weight of an PIDF is  The minimum weight of all Perfect Italian dominating functions that can be conducted on a graph  is called the perfect Italian domination number of  and is denoted by . In this paper, we study the problem on different graph classes. We determine the perfect Italian domination numbers of the circulant graphs  for  and give upper bounds for   when . We also find this parameter for generalized Petersen graph  when . We determine  of strong grids  for arbitrary , then we introduce an upper bound for  when  are arbitraries. Finally, we determine the perfect Italian domination number of Jahangir graph  for arbitrary  and .
