Let G be a graph with vertex set V (G). A double Roman dominating function (DRDF) on a graph G is a function f : V (G) −→ {0, 1, 2, 3} that satisfies the following conditions: (i) If f(v) = 0, then v must have a neighbor w with f(w) = 3 or two neighbors x and y with f(x) = f(y) = 2; (ii) If f(v) = 1, then v must have a neighbor w with f(w) ≥ 2. The weight of a DRDF f is the sum Σv∈V(G)f(v). The double Roman domination number equals the minimum weight of a double Roman dominating function on G. A double Italian dominating function (DIDF) is a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2, 3} having the property that f(N[u]) ≥ 3 for every vertex u∈ V (G) with f(u) ∈ {0, 1}, where N[u] is the closed neighborhood of v. The weight of a DIDF f is the sum Σ Σv∈V(G)f(v), and the minimum weight of a DIDF in a graph G is the double Italian domination number. In this paper we first present Nordhaus-Gaddum type bounds on the double Roman domination number which improved corresponding results given in [N. Jafari Rad and H. Rahbani, Some progress on the double Roman domination in graphs, Discuss. Math. Graph Theory 39 (2019) 41–53]. Furthermore, we establish lower bounds on the double Roman and double Italian domination numbers of trees.
