The smallest cardinality of any such dominating set is called the domination number of G and is denoted by y(G). The purpose of this paper is to initiate an investigation of those graphs which are critical in the following sense: For each v, u E V(G) with v not adjacent to u, y(G + vu) < y(G). Thus

for any vertex x in G. This work considers properties of k-distance domination-critical graphs and establishes a best possible upper bound on the diameter of a 2-distance domination-critical graph G, that is, d(G) โค 3(ฮณ 2 -1) for ฮณ 2 โฅ 2.
Sumner and Blitch defined a graph G to be k-y-critical if 7(G) = k and 7(G + uv) = k -1 for each pair u, v of nonadjacent vertices of G. We define a graph to be k-( 7,d)-critical if 7(G) = k and 7(G + uv) = k -I for each pair u, v of nonadjacent vertices of G that are at distance at most d apart. Th
We show that for each k L 4 there exists a connected k-domination critical graph with independent domination number exceeding k, thus disproving a conjecture of Sumner and Blitch ( J Cornbinatorial Theory B 34 (19831, 65-76) in all cases except k = 3.
