A k-tuple total dominating set (kTDS) of a graph G is a set S of vertices in which every vertex in G is adjacent to at least k vertices in S; the minimum size of a kTDS is denoted γ ×k,t (G). We give a Vizing-like inequality for Cartesian product graphs, namelywhere ρ is the packing number. We also give bounds on γ ×k,t (G H) in terms of (open) packing numbers, and consider the extremal case of γ ×k,t (Kn Km), i.e., the rook's graph, giving a constructive proof of a general formula for γ×2,t(Kn Km).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
