The exact domination number of the generalized Petersen graphs

Abstract: a b s t r a c t. The domination number, denoted by γ(G), is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set. For the generalized Petersen graph G(n), Behzad et al. [A. Behzad, M. Behzad, C.E. Praeger, On the domination number of the generalized Petersen graphs, Discrete Mathematics 308 (2008) 603-610] proved that γ(G(n)) ≤ 3n 5 and conjectured that the upper bound 3n 5is the exact domination number. In this paper we prove this conjecture.

“…Petersen graphs are among the most interesting examples when considering nontrivial graph invariants. The domination and its variations (such as vertex domination, exact domination, rainbow domination, double Roman domination and other) of generalized Petersen graphs have been extensively studied in recent years, see for example [14,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36].…”

“…Let G be a graph with the In this paper, we consider two different generalizations of the Petersen graph. Various types of domination in the class of generalized Petersen graphs have been extensively studied in the literature (see [28][29][30][31][32]). Referring to this research, we will consider (2-d)kernels for two different generalizations of the Petersen graph.…”

“…Finding a minimum dominating set for general graphs is widely know to be NP-hard [11] and hence it is a challenge to determine classes of graphs for which γ(G) can be exactly computed. Indeed, a closed formula for the domination number has been exactly determined only for few specific classes of graphs such as directed de Bruijn graphs [6], directed Kautz graphs [16], generalized Petersen graphs [24], Cartesian product of two directed paths [21] and graphs defined by two levels of the n-cube [3]. Furthermore, close bounds are provided for some generalizations of the previous classes [9,4].…”
