Abstract:
We present an algorithm to compute the domination polynomial of the
m × n grid, cylinder, and torus graphs and the king graph. The time
complexity of the algorithm is
O(m2n2 λ2m) for the torus and
O(m3n2λm)
for the other graphs, where λ = 1+ √2.
The space complexity is O(mnλm) for all of these graphs. We use this
algorithm to compute domination polynomials for graphs up to
size 24 × 24 and the total number of dominating sets for even
larger graphs. This allows us to give precise estimates of the
asymptotic growth rates of the number of dominating sets. We
also extend several sequences in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer
Sequences.
