Abstract
Let be a connected bridgeless graph with domination number . The oriented diameter (strong diameter) of is the smallest integer for which admits a strong orientation with diameter (strong diameter) . Kurz and L\"atsch (2012) conjectured the oriented diameter of is at most and the bound is sharp. In this paper, we confirm the conjecture by induction on through contracting an unavoidable alternative subgraph, which holds potential for future applications. Moreover, we show the oriented strong diameter of is at most by using the same recursive structure, and the bound is best possible.
