Abstract

For any graph G=(V,E), a subset S⊆ V dominates G if all vertices are contained in the closed neighborhood of S, that is N[S]=V. The minimum cardinality over all such S is called the domination number, written γ(G). In 1963, V.G. Vizing conjectured that γ(G \square H) ≥ γ(G)γ(H) where \square stands for the Cartesian product of graphs. In this note, we prove the conjecture.
