Let G be a simple graph of order n and minimum degree $. The independent domination number i(G) is defined to be the minimum cardinality among all maximal independent sets of vertices of G. In this paper, we show that i(G) n+2$&2 -n$. Thus a conjecture of Favaron is settled in the affirmative.
## Abstract A collection $\cal C$ of __k__βsubsets (called __blocks__) of a __v__βset __X__ (__v__)β=β{1, 2,β¦, __v__} (with elements called __points__) is called a __t__β(__v__, __k__, __m__, Ξ») __covering__ if for every __m__βsubset M of __X__ (__v__) there is a subcollection $\cal K$ of $\cal C$
