Abstract

A dominating broadcast of a graph G is a function f:V(G)→{0,1,2,…,diam(G)} such that f(v)⩽e(v) for all v∈V(G), where e(v) is the eccentricity of v, and for every u∈V(G), there exists a vertex v with f(v)⩾1 and d(u,v)⩽f(v). The cost of f is ∑v∈V(G)f(v). The minimum cost over all the dominating broadcasts of G is called the broadcast domination number γb(G) of G. In this paper, we give new upper and lower bounds for γb(G). We show that both the bounds are tight. Also, we improve the upper bound for a subclass of regular graphs. Further, we explore the broadcast domination numbers of generalized Petersen graphs and a subclass of circulant graphs.
