Let G be a simple graph of order n(G). A vertex set D of G is dominating if every vertex not in D is adjacent to some vertex in D, and D is a covering if every edge of G has at least one end in D. The domination number 7(G) is the minimum order of a dominating set, and the covering number/~(G) is 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.
The problem of determining the domination number of a graph is a well known NPhard problem, even when restricted to planar graphs. By adding a further restriction on the diameter of the graph, we prove that planar graphs with diameter two and three have bounded domination numbers. This implies that
