A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph G = (V,E) is a function f : V →0, 1, 2 satisfying the condition that every vertex u for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f(v) = 2. The weight of an RDF is the value f(V (G)) = Σ_u ∈ V (G) f(u). An RDF f in a graph G is independent if no two vertices assigned positive values are adjacent. The Roman domination number γ_R (G) (respectively, the independent Roman domination number i_R(G)) is the minimum weight of an RDF (respectively, independent RDF) on G. We say that γ_R(G) strongly equals i_R(G), denoted by γ_R (G) ≡ i_R(G), if every RDF on G of minimum weight is independent. In this paper we provide a constructive characterization of trees T with γ_R(T) ≡ i_R(T).
