On the Domination Number of Cartesian Product of Two Directed Cycles

Denote by γ(G) the domination number of a digraph G and Cm□Cn the Cartesian product of Cm and Cn, the directed cycles of length m,n≥2. In 2010, Liu et al. determined the exact values of γ(Cm□Cn) for m=2,3,4,5,6. In 2013, Mollard determined the exact values of γ(Cm□Cn) for m=3k+2. In this paper, we g...

Description
Summary:Denote by γ(G) the domination number of a digraph G and Cm□Cn the Cartesian product of Cm and Cn, the directed cycles of length m,n≥2. In 2010, Liu et al. determined the exact values of γ(Cm□Cn) for m=2,3,4,5,6. In 2013, Mollard determined the exact values of γ(Cm□Cn) for m=3k+2. In this paper, we give lower and upper bounds of γ(Cm□Cn) with m=3k+1 for different cases. In particular, ⌈2k+1n/2⌉≤γ(C3k+1□Cn)≤⌊2k+1n/2⌋+k. Based on the established result, the exact values of γ(Cm□Cn) are determined for m=7 and 10 by the combination of the dynamic algorithm, and an upper bound for γ(C13□Cn) is provided.
