Abstract
This paper introduces the novel concept of a Neutrosophic Signed Domination Function (NSDF) of graphs, generalizing classical domination by assigning each vertex a triple-valued influences (truth, indeterminacy, falsity) from {−1, 0, 1}. We define the Neutrosophic Signed Domination Number γns(G) as the optimal weighted sum under neighborhood constraints ensuring net positive influence. Fundamental properties and sharp bounds for general graphs are established. Exact values for γns(G) are determined for paths and cycles. This work bridges neutrosophic logic with domination theory, enabling sophisticated modeling of complex networks with uncertainty.
