A graph is 2 -stratified if its vertex set is partitioned into two classes, where the vertices in one class are colored red and those in the other class are colored blue. Let F be a 2 -stratified graph rooted at some blue vertex v . An F -coloring of a graph G is a red-blue coloring of the vertices of G in which every blue vertex v belongs to a copy of F rooted at v . The F -domination number γ F ( G ) is the minimum number of red vertices in an F -coloring of G . In this paper, we study F -domination where F is a red-blue-blue path of order 3 rooted at a blue end-vertex. It is shown that a triple ( 𝒜 , , 𝒞 ) of positive integers with 𝒜 2 𝒜 and 2 is realizable as the domination number, open domination number, and F -domination number, respectively, for some connected graph if and only if ( 𝒜 , , 𝒞 ) ( k , k , 𝒞 ) for any integers k and 𝒞 with 𝒞 > k 2 .

AB - A graph is $2$-stratified if its vertex set is partitioned into two classes, where the vertices in one class are colored red and those in the other class are colored blue. Let $F$ be a $2$-stratified graph rooted at some blue vertex $v$. An $F$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a red-blue coloring of the vertices of $G$ in which every blue vertex $v$ belongs to a copy of $F$ rooted at $v$. The $F$-domination number $\gamma _F(G)$ is the minimum number of red vertices in an $F$-coloring of $G$. In this paper, we study $F$-domination where $F$ is a red-blue-blue path of order 3 rooted at a blue end-vertex. It is shown that a triple $({\mathcal {A}}, {\mathcal {B}}, {\mathcal {C}})$ of positive integers with ${\mathcal {A}}\le {\mathcal {B}}\le 2 {\mathcal {A}}$ and ${\mathcal {B}}\ge 2$ is realizable as the domination number, open domination number, and $F$-domination number, respectively, for some connected graph if and only if $({\mathcal {A}}, {\mathcal {B}}, {\mathcal {C}}) \ne (k, k, {\mathcal {C}})$ for any integers $k$ and ${\mathcal {C}}$ with ${\mathcal {C}}> k \ge 2$.
