The Signed Domination Number of Cartesian Product of Two Paths

Abstract

Let G be a finite connected simple graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). A function f:V(G) → {1,1} is a signed dominating function if for every vertex v∈V(G), the closed neighborhood of v contains more vertices with function values 1 than with −1. The signed domination number γs(G) of G is the minimum weight of a signed dominating function on G. In this paper, we calculate The signed domination numbers of the Cartesian product of two paths Pm and Pn for m = 3, 4, 5 and arbitrary n.
