✦ Synopsis
The R -domatic number of a graph is the maximum number of colors that can be used to color the vertices of the graph so that all vertices of the graph have at least one vertex of each color within distance R . In this paper the problem of determining the R -domatic number of the n -cube , P ( n , R ) , is considered . The value P (6 , 1) ϭ 5 is settled , and a conjecture by Laborde that P ( n , 1) ϳ n as n tends to infinity is proved . Best known upper and lower bounds on the R -domatic number of the n -cube are given for n р 16 and R р 7 .
