[1,2]-Domination in Generalized Petersen Graphs

Abstract: A vertex subset $S$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a $[1,2]$-dominating set if each vertex of $V\backslash S$ is adjacent to either one or two vertices in $S$. The minimum cardinality of a $[1,2]$-dominating set of $G$, denoted by $\gamma_{[1,2]}(G)$, is called the $[1,2]$-domination number of $G$. In this paper the $[1,2]$-domination and the $[1,2]$-total domination numbers of the generalized Petersen graphs $P(n,2)$ are determined.
