The weight of a kRDF f is the value 蠅(f)=∑v∈V|f(v)|. The k-rainbow domination number of a graph G, denoted by 纬rk(G), is the minimum weight of a kRDF of G. The 1-rainbow domination is the same as the ordinary domination. The k-rainbow bondage number brk(G) of a graph G with maximum degree at least two is the minimum cardinality of all sets E′⊆E(G) for which 纬rk(G−E′)>纬rk(G). Note that br1(G) is the classical bondage number b(G). In this paper, we initiate the study of the k-rainbow bondage number in graphs and we present some bounds for brk(G). In addition, we determine the 2-rainbow bondage number of some classes of graphs.
