Abstract

This paper introduces the concept of proper 2-dominating sets in graphs, providing a comprehensive characterisation of graphs that possess such sets. We give the necessary and sufficient conditions for a graph to have a proper 2-dominating set. Graphs with proper dominating sets can have a symmetric structure. Moreover, we estimate the bounds of the proper 2-domination number in the graphs with respect to the 2-domination and 3-domination numbers. We show that the cardinality of γ2¯-set is greater by one at most than the cardinality of γ2-set.
