Abstract

Let G be a graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). A function f:E(G)-{-1,1} is said to be a signed star dominating function of G if @?"e"@?"E"""G"("v")f(e)=1 for every v@?V(G), where E"G(v)={uv@?E(G)|u@?V(G)}. The minimum of the values of @?"e"@?"E"("G")f(e), taken over all signed star dominating functions f on G, is called the signed star domination number of G and is denoted by @c"S"S(G). In this paper, a sharp upper bound of @c"S"S(GxH) is presented.
