Abstract

Let $D$ be a finite and simple digraph with vertex set $V(D)$.A {\em signed Roman dominating function} on the digraph $D$ isa function  $f:V (D)\longrightarrow \{-1, 1, 2\}$ such that$\sum_{u\in N^-[v]}f(u)\ge 1$ for every $v\in V(D)$, where $N^-[v]$ consists of $v$ andall inner neighbors of $v$, and every vertex $u\in V(D)$ for which $f(u)=-1$ has an innerneighbor $v$ for which $f(v)=2$. A set $\{f_1,f_2,\ldots,f_d\}$ of distinct signedRoman dominating functions on $D$ with the property that $\sum_{i=1}^df_i(v)\le 1$ for each$v\in V(D)$, is called a {\em signed Roman dominating family} (of functions) on $D$. The maximumnumber of functions in a signed Roman dominating family on $D$ is the {\em signed Roman domaticnumber} of $D$, denoted by $d_{sR}(D)$. In this paper we initiate the study of signed Romandomatic number in digraphs and we present some sharp bounds for $d_{sR}(D)$. In addition, wedetermine the signed Roman domatic number of some digraphs.  Some of our results are extensionsof well-known properties of the signed Roman domatic number of graphs.
