Abstract

Let G=(V,E) be a simple connected graph. A set of vertices S⊆ V is said to be a dominating set if for any vertex in V∖ S is adjacent to at least one vertex in S. The domination number γ(G) of G is the minimum cardinality among all such sets. In this paper, we obtain some results on the domination number of the incidence graphs of combinatorial designs. In particular, we prove a conjecture and disprove another conjecture in a recent paper by Goldberg, Rajendraprasad and Mathew. We also prove a third conjecture by the same authors for block-transitive symmetric designs.
