Domination number of graphs with minimum degree five

Combinatorics 2020-05-18 v2

Abstract

We prove that for every graph GG on nn vertices and with minimum degree five, the domination number γ(G)\gamma(G) cannot exceed n/3n/3. The proof combines an algorithmic approach and the discharging method. Using the same technique, we provide a shorter proof for the known upper bound 4n/114n/11 on the domination number of graphs of minimum degree four.
