We define a k-total limited packing number in a graph, which generalizes the concept of open packing number in graphs, and give several bounds on it. These bounds involve many well known parameters of graphs. Also, we establish a connection among the concepts of tuple domination, tuple total domination and total limited packing that implies some results.

In this paper, we study the signed total domination number in graphs and present new sharp lower and upper bounds for this parameter. For example by making use of the classic theorem of Turán [8], we present a sharp lower bound on Kr+1-free graphs for r ≥ 2. Applying the concept of total limited packing we bound the signed total domination number of G with δ(G) ≥ 3 from above by n − 2 2ρo(G)+δ−3 2 . Also, we prove that γst(T ) ≤ n − 2(s − s ) for any tree T of order n, with s support vertices and s support vertices of degree two. Moreover, we characterize all trees attaining this bound.

In this paper, we study the signed 2-independence number in graphs and give new sharp upper and lower bounds on the signed 2-independence number of a graph by a simple uniform approach. In this way, we can improve and generalize some known results in this area.
