Let G be a finite and simple graph with vertex set V (G), and let f V (G) → {−1, 1} be a two-valued function. If ∑x∈N|v| f(x) ≤ 1 for each v ∈ V (G), where N[v] is the closed neighborhood of v, then f is a signed 2-independence function on G. The weight of a signed 2-independence function f is w(f) =∑v∈V (G) f(v). The maximum of weights w(f), taken over all signed 2-independence functions f on G, is the signed 2-independence number α2s(G) of G. In this work, we mainly present upper bounds on α2s(G), as for example α2s(G) ≤ n−2 [∆ (G)/2], and we prove the Nordhaus-Gaddum type inequality α2s (G) + α2s(G) ≤ n+1, where n is the order and ∆ (G) is the maximum degree of the graph G. Some of our theorems improve well-known results on the signed 2-independence number.

Let k ≥ 2 be an integer. A function f: V(G) → {−1, 1} defined on the vertex set V(G) of a graph G is a signed k-independence function if the sum of its function values over any closed neighborhood is at most k − 1. That is, Σx∈N[v] f(x) ≤ k − 1 for every v ∈ V(G), where N[v] consists of v and every vertex adjacent to v. The weight of a signed k-independence function f is w(f) = Σv∈V(G) f(v). The maximum weight w(f), taken over all signed k-independence functions f on G, is the signed k-independence number α sk(G) of G. In this work, we mainly present upper bounds on α sk (G), as for example α sk(G) ≤ n − 2⌈(Δ(G) + 2 − k)/2⌉, and we prove the Nordhaus-Gaddum type inequality $$\alpha _S^k \left( G \right) + \alpha _S^k \left( {\bar G} \right) \leqslant n + 2k - 3$$, where n is the order, Δ(G) the maximum degree and $$\bar G$$ the complement of the graph G. Some of our results imply well-known bounds on the signed 2-independence number.
