Dominating sequences in grid-like and toroidal graphs

Abstract

A longest sequence SS of distinct vertices of a graph GG such that each vertex of SS dominates some vertex that is not dominated by its preceding vertices, is called a Grundy dominating sequence; the length of SS is the Grundy domination number of GG. In this paper we study the Grundy domination number in the four standard graph products: the Cartesian, the lexicographic, the direct, and the strong product. For each of the products we present a lower bound for the Grundy domination number which turns out to be exact for the lexicographic product and is conjectured to be exact for the strong product. In most of the cases exact Grundy domination numbers are determined for products of paths and/or cycles.
