A Generalization of Distance Domination

Data Structures and Algorithms 2025-10-22 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

Expanding on the graph theoretic ideas of k-component order connectivity and distance-l domination, we present a quadratic-complexity algorithm that finds a tree's minimum failure-set cardinality, i.e., the minimum cardinality any subset of the tree's vertices must have so that all clusters of vertices further away than some l do not exceed a cardinality threshold. Applications of solutions to the expanded problems include choosing service center locations so that no large neighborhoods are excluded from service, while reducing the redundancy inherent in distance domination problems.
