Title
Semitotal Domination in Claw-Free Cubic Graphs.
Abstract
The semitotal domination number of a graph G without isolated vertices is the minimum cardinality of a set S of vertices of G such that every vertex in \(V(G){\setminus } S\) is adjacent to at least one vertex in S, and every vertex in S is within distance 2 of another vertex of S. In Henning and Marcon (Ann Comb 20(4):1–15, 2016), it was shown that every connected claw-free cubic graph G of order n has semitotal domination number at most \(\frac{4n}{11}\) when \(n\ge 10\), and it was conjectured that the bound can be improved from \(\frac{4n}{11}\) to \(\frac{n}{3}\) if \(G\notin \{K_4,N_2\}\). In this paper, we prove this conjecture.
