Every graph G satisfies γ{Rk}(G) ≤ kγ(G), where γ{Rk}(G) denotes the minimum weight of a {k}-Roman dominating function of G and γ(G) is the domination number of G. In this work we study graphs for which the equality is reached, called {k}-Roman graphs. This extends the concept of {k}-Roman trees studied by Wang et al. in 2021 to gen- eral graphs. We prove that for every k ≥ 3, the problem of recognizing {k}-Roman graphs is NP-hard, even when restricted to split graphs. We provide partial answers to the question of which split graphs are {2}-Roman: we characterize {2}-Roman split graphs that can be decomposed with respect to the split join operation into two smaller split graphs and classify the {k}-Roman property within two specific families of split graphs that are prime with respect to the split join operation: suns and their complements.</dc:description><dc:date>2025</dc:date><dc:date>2025-12-16 13:38:21</dc:date><dc:type>Neznano</dc:type><dc:identifier>22209</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>UDK: 519.17</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>ISSN pri članku: 1877-0509</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>OceCobissID: 261677571</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>DOI: 10.1016/j.procs.2025.10.315</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>COBISS.SI-ID: 261688835</dc:identifier><dc:language>sl</dc:language></metadata>
