Abstract

Let G=(V,E)G=(V,E) be a simple undirected graph. GG is a circulant graph defined on V=ZnV=\mathbb{Z}_n with difference set D{1,2,,n2}D\subseteq \{1,2,\ldots,\lfloor\frac{n}{2}\rfloor\} provided two vertices ii and jj in Zn\mathbb{Z}_n are adjacent if and only if min{ij,nij}D\min\{|i-j|, n-|i-j|\}\in D. For convenience, we use G(n;D)G(n;D) to denote such a circulant graph. A function f:V(G)N{0}f:V(G)\rightarrow\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\} is an integer {k}\{k\}-domination function if for each vV(G)v\in V(G), uNG[v]f(u)k.\sum_{u\in N_G[v]}f(u)\geq k. By considering all {k}\{k\}-domination functions ff, the minimum value of vV(G)f(v)\sum_{v\in V(G)}f(v) is the {k}\{k\}-domination number of GG, denoted by γk(G)\gamma_k(G). In this paper, we prove that if D={1,2,,t}D=\{1,2,\ldots,t\}, 1tn121\leq t\leq \frac{n-1}{2}, then the integer {k}\{k\}-domination number of G(n;D)G(n;D) is kn2t+1\lceil\frac{kn}{2t+1}\rceil.
