Title
Dominating Cartesian products of cycles
Abstract
Let γ ( G ) be the domination number of a graph G and let G □ H denote the Cartesian product of graphs G and H . We prove that γ(X) = (Π m k = 1 n k ) (2m + 1) , where X = C 1 □ C 2 □ … □ C m and all n k = ¦C k ¦, 1 ⩽ k ⩽ m , are multiples of 2 m + 1. The methods we use to prove this result immediately lead to an algorithm for finding minimum dominating sets of the considered graphs. Furthermore the domination numbers of products of two cycles are determined exactly if one factor is equal to C 3 , C 4 or C 5 , respectively.
