Domination of the rectangular queen's graph
Abstract
The queen's graph has the squares of the chessboard as its vertices; two squares are adjacent if they are in the same row, column, or diagonal of the board. A set of squares of is a dominating set for if every square of is either in or adjacent to a square in . The minimum size of a dominating set of is the domination number, denoted by . Values of are given here, in each case with a file of minimum dominating sets (often all of them, up to symmetry) in an online appendix at https://www.combinatorics.org/ojs/index.php/eljc/article/view/v26i4p45/HTML. In these ranges for and , monotonicity fails once: . Lower bounds on are given. In particular, if then . A set of squares is independent if no two of its squares are adjacent. The minimum size of an independent dominating set of is the independent domination number, denoted by . Values of are given here, in each case with some minimum dominating sets. In these ranges for and , monotonicity fails twice: , and .
