The signed distance- k -domination number of a graph is a certain variant of the signed domination number. If v is a vertex of a graph G , the open k -neighborhood of v , denoted by N k ( v ) , is the set N k ( v ) = { u u v and d ( u , v ) k } . N k [ v ] = N k ( v ) { v } is the closed k -neighborhood of v . A function f V { - 1 , 1 } is a signed distance- k -dominating function of G , if for every vertex v V , f ( N k [ v ] ) = u N k [ v ] f ( u ) 1 . The signed distance- k -domination number, denoted by γ k , s ( G ) , is the minimum weight of a signed distance- k -dominating function on G . The values of γ 2 , s ( G ) are found for graphs with small diameter, paths, circuits. At the end it is proved that γ 2 , s ( T ) is not bounded from below in general for any tree T .

AB - The signed distance-$k$-domination number of a graph is a certain variant of the signed domination number. If $v$ is a vertex of a graph $G$, the open $k$-neighborhood of $v$, denoted by $N_k(v)$, is the set $N_k(v)=\lbrace u\mid u\ne v$ and $d(u,v)\le k\rbrace $. $N_k[v]=N_k(v)\cup \lbrace v\rbrace $ is the closed $k$-neighborhood of $v$. A function $f\: V\rightarrow \lbrace -1,1\rbrace $ is a signed distance-$k$-dominating function of $G$, if for every vertex $v\in V$, $f(N_k[v])=\sum _{u\in N_k[v]}f(u)\ge 1$. The signed distance-$k$-domination number, denoted by $\gamma _{k,s}(G)$, is the minimum weight of a signed distance-$k$-dominating function on $G$. The values of $\gamma _{2,s}(G)$ are found for graphs with small diameter, paths, circuits. At the end it is proved that $\gamma _{2,s}(T)$ is not bounded from below in general for any tree $T$.
