Domination in graphs with minimum degree two
William McCuaig, F. Bruce Shepherd · Journal of Graph Theory · 1989
Abstract The domination number γ(G) of a graph G = (V, E) is the minimum cardinality of a subset of V such that every vertex is either in the set or is adjacent to some vertex in the set. We show that if a connected graph G has minimum degree two and is not one of seven exceptional graphs, then γ(G)γ 2/5|V|. We also characterize those connected graphs with γ(G)γ 2/5|V|.
