Abstract

Mynhardt has conjectured that if G is a graph such that γ(G) = γ(πG) for all generalized prisms πG then G is edgeless. The fractional analogue of this conjecture is established and proved by showing that, if G is a graph with edges, then γf(G×K2) > γf(G).

Keywords: fractional domination, graph products, prisms of graphs.

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C69.
