The p-domination number of complete multipartite graphs

You Lu, Jun‐Ming Xu

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Let G = (V, E) be a graph and p be a positive integer. A subset S ⊆ V is called a p-dominating set of G if every vertex not in S has at least p neighbors in S. The p-domination number is the minimum cardinality of a p-dominating set in G. This paper establishes an exact formula of the p-domination number of all complete multipartite graphs for arbitrary positive integer p.
