Let f be an integer-valued function defined on the vertex set V ( G ) of a graph G . A subset D of V ( G ) is an f -dominating set if each vertex x outside D is adjacent to at least f ( x ) vertices in D . The minimum number of vertices in an f -dominating set is defined to be the f -domination number, denoted by γ f ( G ) . In a similar way one can define the connected and total f -domination numbers γ c , f ( G ) and γ t , f ( G ) . If f ( x ) = 1 for all vertices x , then these are the ordinary domination number, connected domination number and total domination number of G , respectively. In this paper we prove some inequalities involving γ f ( G ) , γ c , f ( G ) , γ t , f ( G ) and the independence domination number i ( G ) . In particular, several known results are generalized.

AB - Let $f$ be an integer-valued function defined on the vertex set $V(G)$ of a graph $G$. A subset $D$ of $V(G)$ is an $f$-dominating set if each vertex $x$ outside $D$ is adjacent to at least $f(x)$ vertices in $D$. The minimum number of vertices in an $f$-dominating set is defined to be the $f$-domination number, denoted by $\gamma _{f}(G)$. In a similar way one can define the connected and total $f$-domination numbers $\gamma _{c, f}(G)$ and $\gamma _{t, f}(G)$. If $f(x) = 1$ for all vertices $x$, then these are the ordinary domination number, connected domination number and total domination number of $G$, respectively. In this paper we prove some inequalities involving $\gamma _{f}(G), \gamma _{c, f}(G), \gamma _{t, f}(G)$ and the independence domination number $i(G)$. In particular, several known results are generalized.
