Abstract
A dominating set of a graph is a subset of its vertices such that every vertex not in is adjacent to at least one member of . The domination number of a graph is the number of vertices in a smallest dominating set of . The bondage number of a nonempty graph is the size of a smallest set of edges whose removal from results in a graph with domination number greater than the domination number of . In this note, we study the bondage number of binomial random graph . We obtain a lower bound that matches the order of the trivial upper bound. As a side product, we give a one-point concentration result for the domination number of under certain restrictions.
