For a graph G, let R(G) and yr2(G) denote the Roman domination number of G and the 2-rainbow domination number of G, respectively. It is known that yr2(G) ≤ R(G) ≤ 3/2yr2(G). Fujita and Furuya [Difference between 2-rainbow domination and Roman domination in graphs, Discrete Appl. Math. 161 (2013) 806-812] present some kind of characterization of the graphs G for which R(G) − yr2(G) = k for some integer k. Unfortunately, their result does not lead to an algorithm that allows to recognize these graphs efficiently. We show that for every fixed non-negative integer k, the recognition of the connected K4-free graphs G with yR(G) − yr2(G) = k is NP-hard, which implies that there is most likely no good characterization of these graphs. We characterize the graphs G such that yr2(H) = yR(H) for every induced subgraph H of G, and collect several properties of the graphs G with R(G) = 3/2yr2(G).

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph G = (V,E) is a function f : V −→ {0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that every vertex u for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f(v) = 2. The weight of an RDF is the value f(V (G)) = P u2V (G) f(u). An RDF f in a graph G is independent if no two vertices assigned positive values are adjacent. The Roman domination number R(G) (respectively, the independent Roman domination number iR(G)) is the minimum weight of an RDF (respectively, independent RDF) on G. We say that R(G) strongly equals iR(G), denoted by R(G) ≡ iR(G), if every RDF on G of minimum weight is independent. In this paper we provide a constructive characterization of trees T with R(T) ≡ iR(T).
A Roman dominating function on a graph G is a function f:V(G) → {0,1,2} satisfying the condition that every vertex u for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f(v) = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is the value $f(V(G)) = ∑_{u ∈ V(G)}f(u)$. The Roman domination number, $γ_R(G)$, of G is the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on G. In this paper, we define the Roman bondage $b_R(G)$ of a graph G with maximum degree at least two to be the minimum cardinality of all sets E' ⊆ E(G) for which $γ_R(G -E') > γ_R(G)$. We determine the Roman bondage number in several classes of graphs and give some sharp bounds.
